2018 Volkswagen Jetta

Serving Capitol Heights, Washington D.C., and Arlington

Around since 1979, the Jetta is one of Volkswagen’s top-selling model. And that’s because of its ability to provide a premium and roomy cabin, strong engine options, and good fuel economy. With the 2018 model year, the Jetta is deep into its sixth generation of production. The 2018 Volkswagen Jetta is split into S, Wolfsburg Edition, SE, SE Sport, SEL, and GLI.

The S, Wolfsburg Edition, and SE trims of the 2018 Jetta are powered by a 1.4-liter turbocharged inline 4-cylinder (I4) engine, which provides 150 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. The SE Sport and SEL use a 1.6-liter turbocharged I4 with 170 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. Only the GLI gets a 2.0-liter turbocharged I4, which generates 210 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. The S, Wolfsburg Edition, and SE are paired with a 5-speed manual transmission; and the SE Sport, SEL, and GLI use a 6-speed automatic transmission.
