The 2027 Volkswagen Jetta earns an EPA-estimated 40 MPG on the highway and brings a round of practical upgrades that lower the cost of entry into the lineup. Keyless entry and push-button start are now standard on the S and Sport trims, and an upgraded infotainment package is now included across all four trim levels. For St. Louis drivers who value efficiency, rear legroom, and a refined sedan over another SUV, the 2027 Jetta continues to make the strongest case in VW’s lineup.
The 2027 Jetta is Volkswagen’s compact sedan and the only non-SUV in the Suntrup VW lineup. Available in four trims: S, Sport, SE, and SEL, it is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder producing 158 horsepower, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission driving the front wheels. EPA estimates come in at 29 city and 40 highway MPG, positioning the Jetta among the most fuel-efficient compact sedans available at any price.
For MY27, VW made keyless entry and push-button start standard on the S and Sport trims, addressing the most common feature gap buyers flagged at the entry level. An upgraded infotainment package with satellite radio, voice controls, and a six-speaker audio system is now standard across all trims. The cabin offers class-leading rear passenger legroom for a compact sedan and a 14.1-cubic-foot trunk, practical advantages that crossover alternatives in this price range routinely cannot match.
The Jetta is built for the buyer who has not been persuaded that everyone needs an SUV. Commuters covering significant highway miles across the St. Louis metro will find 40 MPG a meaningful monthly expense difference compared to crossover alternatives. First-time buyers, budget-conscious shoppers, and drivers returning to a sedan after an SUV will find the Jetta’s combination of efficiency, interior quality, and VW refinement difficult to beat at its price point.
Rear legroom is a genuine competitive strength: the Jetta’s back seat regularly outmeasures compact crossovers in passenger space, making it a realistic family sedan rather than just a commuter car. For buyers who want more performance from the Jetta platform, the Jetta GLI is a separate model at Suntrup with its own 228-horsepower turbocharged engine and performance-tuned chassis. For most buyers, though, the standard Jetta’s efficiency, refinement, and value represent the stronger everyday case.
