The 2027 Volkswagen Jetta adds KESSY® keyless access and Composition Media with satellite radio as standard equipment on the S and Sport trims. These updates bring added convenience and connectivity to the two most accessible trims without a redesign. This page covers every trim, the complete spec sheet, and links to current inventory at Volkswagen of Milwaukee North in Glendale.
The headline change for 2027 is the addition of KESSY® keyless access and push-button start to the S and Sport trims. In prior years, KESSY was standard only on higher trims. For 2027, it is included across the entire Jetta lineup.
The second notable update applies to the same two trims. The Composition Media infotainment system now includes satellite radio through SiriusXM with a three-month Platinum Plan trial, voice control, and two additional speakers, bringing the front-row speaker count to six on S and Sport models. Available Premium Speech with AI and Premium Radio add to the infotainment choices on those trims.
An enhanced rear seatbelt reminder is also now standard across the entire 2027 Jetta lineup. The four-trim structure of S, Sport, SE, and SEL carries over unchanged.
The entry trim arrives with 16-inch two-tone machined alloy wheels, LED headlights with LED daytime running lights, rhombus cloth seats in Titan Black or Storm Grey, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, dual-zone Climatronic® Touch automatic climate control, and the updated Composition Media 8-inch touchscreen. Wireless App-Connect® for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM, voice control, and six speakers are included. KESSY® keyless access with push-button start is standard for 2027. The 8-inch Volkswagen Digital Cockpit digital instrument cluster is also standard.
Sport adds 17-inch two-tone alloy wheels, a black grille, black window surrounds, black mirror caps with later availability, heated front seats, stainless-steel pedal caps, a black headliner, and embossed Molekular cloth seats in Titan Black. The XDS Cross Differential System and a 0.6-inch lower sport suspension give the Sport trim a more driver-focused character than the S. Like the S, Sport receives the complete 2027 Composition Media and KESSY® updates.
SE adds 17-inch two-tone alloy wheels with an optional 18-inch black wheel package, an acoustically optimized panoramic tilting and sliding sunroof, perforated CloudTex leatherette seating in two-tone color combinations, an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support, remote start, and wireless charging. An 8-inch Volkswagen Digital Cockpit is standard. The SE also gains power lumbar adjustment and the lower sport suspension.
SEL is the most comprehensively equipped sedan in the lineup. It arrives with 18-inch alloy wheels, genuine Vienna leather seating in Grey/Titan Black or Brown/Titan Black with contrast stitching, 10-color ambient lighting, heated outboard rear seats, ventilated front seats, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, a 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro with up to four views, touchscreen navigation, VW Premium Audio with eight speakers, four USB-C ports, a wireless charging pad, Driving Mode Selection, and Light Assist high-beam control. The SEL brings these connected, comfort, and convenience technologies together in one package.
Every 2027 Jetta is powered by the 1.5-liter EA211 turbocharged and intercooled TSI® inline four-cylinder engine. Output is 158 hp at 5,500 to 6,000 rpm and 184 lb-ft of torque from 1,750 to 4,000 rpm. The engine uses a modified Miller cycle, closing the intake valves early in the induction stroke to help improve fuel efficiency. Its 11.5:1 compression ratio also contributes to its efficient performance.
The EA211 pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission with a Tiptronic® manual gate and Sport Mode. Power is sent to the front wheels.
EPA-estimated fuel economy for the Jetta S is 29 mpg city, 40 mpg highway, and 34 mpg combined. Sport, SE, and SEL models are rated at 29 mpg city, 40 mpg highway, and 33 mpg combined. All ratings are based on regular unleaded fuel with an 87 AKI rating. Actual mileage will vary and depends on several factors, including driving habits and vehicle condition.
