The 2026 Volkswagen Jetta

Under the hood of every 2026 Volkswagen Jetta is a refined 1.5L TSI® turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This powertrain produces a rewarding 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, delivering a zippy off-the-line experience that makes merging onto Interstate 43 easier than ever. Every model features a smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission designed to optimize fuel efficiency during your Milwaukee commute.

For those prioritizing efficiency, the 2026 Jetta leads its class with an EPA-estimated 40 MPG on the highway and 29 MPG in the city. This engine utilizes a modified version of the Miller cycle, where intake valves close early to optimize fuel economy without sacrificing the peppy driving dynamics Volkswagen is known for.

The interior of the 2026 Jetta is designed around driver-centric functionality and sophisticated comfort. It features a spacious cabin that accommodates five passengers with ease, offering a surprising 37.4 inches of rear-seat legroom so even taller passengers can enjoy the ride. Utility is a standout feature; this sedan provides up to 14.1 cubic feet of trunk space, making it practical for everything from grocery runs to gear-heavy road trips through Wisconsin.

Premium materials are used throughout the cabin to elevate the everyday driving experience. Depending on your choice of trim, you can enjoy available CloudTex seating surfaces, two-tone cloth upholstery, or rich leather seating in the top-tier SEL model. To ensure a comfortable temperature year-round, standard features include dual-zone Climatronic® automatic climate control, while higher trims add ventilated front seats for those warm Milwaukee summers.

The 2026 Jetta continues its legacy with a sharp exterior that emphasizes its athletic identity and improved aerodynamics. The front fascia is striking, featuring a redesigned grille with standard LED projector headlights and signature LED daytime running lights that significantly improve visibility during short winter days. A standout feature for the Sport trim and above is the available front light bar, which connects the headlights for a distinctive high-tech signature.

At the rear, the VW stands out with a sleek silhouette and standard LED taillights. Depending on the trim level, the car can be equipped with various wheel designs, including standard 16-inch alloy wheels or aggressive 18-inch black wheels on the SE trim for a sportier stance. You can view our current selection of exterior colors in our new vehicle inventory.

Every 2026 Jetta comes standard with an 8.0-inch floating infotainment touchscreen and the innovative VW Digital Cockpit. For a more personalized experience, the SEL trim features the 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro, which offers a configurable display for navigation and vehicle stats. Connectivity is seamless thanks to standard App-Connect for compatible devices and available wireless charging to keep your smartphone ready for the day.

Safety is a core priority for the brand, and the standard Q.DRIVE®I suite provides semi-automated driving assistance to navigate traffic with confidence. Key safety technologies include:

• Front Assist: Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Monitoring.
• Travel Assist: A semi-automated driving assistant that handles steering, accelerating, and braking on the highway.
• Active Blind Spot Monitor: Provides alerts when a vehicle is in your blind spot to prevent unsafe lane changes.
• Rear Traffic Alert: Helps you back out of tight parking spots in downtown Milwaukee with peace of mind.

For further details on safety ratings, local drivers can visit the official NHTSA or IIHS websites.

The entry-level Jetta S offers compelling value for those seeking a modern sedan experience. It comes loaded with the full IQ.DRIVE® suite, LED projector headlights, and an 8.0-inch digital instrument cluster.

The Sport trim adds an athletic touch with 17-inch alloy wheels, a sport differential for improved traction, and black exterior trim accents.

Stepping up to the SE trim adds extra convenience and style to your daily drive. It features standard power sunroof, synthetic leather seating surfaces, and wireless smartphone integration.

At the top of the lineup, the SEL trim provides a premium experience. It boasts leather seating surfaces, ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and an 8-speaker premium audio system.
