Frequently Asked Questions
The answer to this question depends on what you're looking for in a model. The starter trim, the Jetta S, comes loaded with premium features from IQ.DRIVE to LED headlights and taillights. The Sport trim brings an elevated appearance that hints at heightened performance. When you upgrade to the top-tier SEL, you get even more exciting perks, such as heated and ventilated front seats and the BeatsAudio® system.
The first two VW Jetta trims have cloth seats, and the third trim, the Jetta SE, has CloudTex seating surfaces. You would have to spring for the top-tier trim level, the Volkswagen Jetta SEL, for genuine leather seating surfaces. From ventilated front seats to heated first and second-row outboard seats, this configuration has all the bells and whistles you can get for the sleek sedan.
The topmost Volkswagen Jetta SEL trim level has a power tilting and sliding panoramic sunroof optimized to let natural light pour into the cabin. Although the lower trims do not come with this feature, the junior configuration, the Jetta SE, has it as an available upgrade. If you're content with the SE features but want a little more lighting in the cabin, this might be the best option for you.
An ambient lighting system is standard for the 2025 VW Jetta SEL. This technology allows you to set the mood in your cabin with a range of relaxing hues. In general, lighting is a key element of Volkswagen design, thanks to standard LED headlights and taillights, an available integrated light bar on the front grille, and additional lighting elements that take your ride to the next level.
Volkswagen Jetta Ratings & Reviews
"I was in the market for a new car, wanted to get something totally different than what I had. I had seen commercials for the Jetta and how much fun they were to drive. I went to this dealership and was met by Dean who worked with me for quite a while, with much patience I must say, while I test drove a few different models of Jettas. He was very informative...asked me what I wanted in a car, how I drove my cars, etc. and then pointed me to the model that he felt met my needs and wants and he was absolutely right! Dean even spent time finding the exact model in the exact color I wanted at other dealerships, drove to pick it up and had it ready for me the next day.I would definitely buy from this dealership again and work with Dean." - 5 stars, review by Betty Pelton, 03/05/16
