The Jetta has defined affordable German engineering for more than four decades, spending more than three of them as Volkswagen’s best-selling model. In 2022, the torchbearer is refreshed, with new technology and styling elevating both the value-oriented Jetta and the sporty Jetta GLI.

Among the most important updates to the 2022 Jetta is the adoption of the 1.5-liter turbocharged and direct-injection EA211 engine found in the recently launched Taos compact SUV. Offering an ideal combination of low-speed torque and competitive fuel economy, the EA211 is mated to a six-speed manual or a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission. Meanwhile, the Jetta GLI is powered by Volkswagen’s EA888 turbocharged direct-injection 2.0-liter engine, which produces 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed manual transmission is standard and a seven-speed DSG® dual-clutch automatic transmission is optional.

The refreshed Jetta and GLI models get a style update with new front and rear bumpers, new colors and new wheels. In the front, standard LED headlights frame a redesigned grille. New available exterior colors and unique wheels on each trim level also up the visual ante.

Inside, the Jetta and GLI boast upgraded technology and driver assistance features. The Volkswagen Digital Cockpit instrument cluster now comes standard, as does Volkswagen Car-Net® with in-car Wi-Fi capability when you subscribe to a data plan. On top Jetta trims and the GLI, wireless charging and wireless App-Connect for compatible devices are standard. Base Jetta models come standard with Front Assist, Blind Spot Monitor, and Rear Traffic Alert. IQ.DRIVE® driver assistance technology is available from the Jetta S trim and up (automatic models only), and is standard on GLI.

The 2022 Jetta is offered in four levels: S, SE, SEL, and a new Sport trim. Jetta Sport models offer a great value and enthusiast-inspired content, like the XDS® Cross Differential System, two-tone machined 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, black exterior and interior trim, and sport seats. The GLI is now offered in one fully-loaded trim.

The new EA211 engine can be mated to either a six-speed manual transmission or an eight-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic® shifting. Jetta models with the standard six-speed manual transmission have an EPA-estimated rating of 29 mpg city, 43 mpg highway, and 34 mpg combined. S models equipped with the optional eight-speed automatic transmission have an EPA-estimated rating of 31 mpg city, 41 mpg highway, and 35 mpg combined. SE and SEL models equipped with the optional eight-speed automatic transmission have an EPA-estimated rating of 29 mpg city, 40 mpg highway, and 33 mpg combined.

The Jetta GLI is powered by a Volkswagen EA888 2.0-liter turbocharged and direct-injection TSI® 4-cylinder engine, making 228 horsepower (achieved with premium fuel) and 258 pound-feet of torque. This engine features variable valve timing on the intake and exhaust sides, as well as variable exhaust valve lift.

The power is taken to the front wheels via a standard 6-speed manual transmission, with a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission available optionally. Models equipped with the optional seven-speed DSG® dual-clutch automatic transmission have an EPA-estimated rating of 26 mpg city, 36 mpg highway and 30 mpg combined. All ratings are based on regular unleaded fuel.

All Jetta automatic transmission models come standard with a Start/Stop system designed to help improve fuel efficiency. This technology stops the engine during idle when the brake pedal is held (such as when waiting at a stop light). When the brake pedal is released, the engine restarts.
