About 2015 Volkswagen Jetta


4.1

Overall Rating

The sixth-generation Jetta is larger but less expensive to produce than the previous generation.

The 2015 Volkswagen Jetta is the brand's best-selling compact car. For 2015, The VW Jetta sedan gets a mid-generation refresh, offering new front and rear styling, an upgraded interior and new safety features including blind-spot warning, front-collision warning, rear cross-traffic alert, bi-xenon headlights and Adaptive Front-lighting. Pricing for the 2015 Jetta sedan begins at $16,215 and goes up to $30,380.

The 2015 Volkswagen Jetta ranks in the middle of the compact car segment. The sedan offers spacious interiors and nimble handling. VW offers the updated Jetta with three gas engines along with a hybrid model and a diesel model that achieve up to 46 mpg on the highway. The result is a Jetta with fewer upscale touches but one that is better able to compete price-wise with the class-leading Toyota Corolla, Chevrolet Cruze, and Mazda 3.

The base trim doesn’t come with many competitive features like its rivals. There are various reasons to buy the 1.8T SE trim. It comes with a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 170 horsepower. Also, it adds all the features of the lower two trims and adds heated front seats, iPod input, Satellite, and HD radio to the list.

2015 Volkswagen Jetta Review


Pros

  • Strong turbocharged engine
  • Generous passenger space
  • Impressive cargo capacity
  • Good handling

Cons

  • Short on standard features

The sixth-generation Jetta is larger but less expensive to produce than the previous generation.

The 2015 Volkswagen Jetta is the brand's best-selling compact car. For 2015, The VW Jetta sedan gets a mid-generation refresh, offering new front and rear styling, an upgraded interior and new safety features including blind-spot warning, front-collision warning, rear cross-traffic alert, bi-xenon headlights and Adaptive Front-lighting.

Buying Advice

The base trim doesn’t come with many competitive features like its rivals. There are various reasons to buy the 1.8T SE trim. It comes with a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 170 horsepower. Also, it adds all the features of the lower two trims and adds heated front seats, iPod input, Satellite, and HD radio to the list. 

Engine and Performance
7.9/10


There are two engine options available for the 2015 Volkswagen Jetta. A 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine making 115 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque is standard on the base and S models. The other trims get a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 170 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. 

Buyers can choose between a five-speed manual and a six-speed automatic for the base engine while the turbocharger gets a six-speed automatic only. Despite the move from an independent four-link to a cheaper torsion beam rear suspension, the latest Jetta still handles exceptionally well. Rode holding in the corners is impressive and the freeway ride is controlled and comfortable. Acceleration with the base four-cylinder engine is leisurely.

The Mazda 3 is easily the best pick from this competition as it is available at only $16,945 and offers the best power and torque figures. Hence, it jumps directly to the top of the table. With 138 horses, the Chevrolet Cruze slips down behind Mazda 3 and is followed by the Toyota Corolla. The Volkswagen Jetta’s 115 horses are no match for its rivals. 

Fuel Economy
9.0/10


The fuel economy in the Volkswagen Jetta is average. According to the EPA, the sedan returns 25 mpg in the city, 34 mpg on the highway, and 28 mpg combined. With a six-speed automatic gearbox, it returns 23 mpg in the cities and the combined mileage drops down to 26 mpg. Owing to its 14.5-gallon fuel tank, the Jetta delivers a driving range of 428 miles.

The Mazda 3 turns out to be the most fuel-efficient sedan in this competition with a combined mileage of 33 mpg followed by the Toyota Corolla with 31 mpg. The Jetta’s fuel efficiency is better than the Chevy Cruze but it falls short on highway mileage due to its small fuel tank. 

Interior
8.1/10


In tradition with the previous models, the interior panels of the newest Jetta are mostly made up of hard plastics. In terms of build quality, the Jetta has an edge over its rivals. Seat cushioning and backrest angle are pretty good that means if you are someone who loves to travel on highway trips then you will not feel tired. 

On the inside, this Volkswagen sedan feels roomy with ample shoulder space for front-seat occupants and good legroom for those in the back. Overall, Jetta’s interior is comparable to other vehicles in its class. Speaking of cargo capacity, at 15.7 cubic feet, the Jetta has one of the largest trunks in its class. It also features trunk-mounted releases that allow the rear seats to be folded without leaving the trunk area.

In the front row, the Chevrolet Cruze offers the class-leading head and legroom while the rear legroom is best in the Toyota Corolla. The passenger space in the Mazda 3 is almost similar to the Jetta. The Jetta also gains some points in cargo capacity while the Mazda 3 is the least practical sedan in this competition. The standard interior feature list is very short on the Jetta which is a big negative point. Some of the available features include:

  • Push-button start
  • Keyless entry
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Cloth upholstery
  • Heated front seats
  • Power-adjustable driver’s seat

How intuitive is the 2015 Volkswagen Jetta’s infotainment system?

On the center of the dashboard, a small infotainment screen is the main powerhouse for Jetta’s infotainment system. However, using the navigation system on this small screen is kind of a hectic task and it doesn’t provide much information. Sadly, smartphone integration is not available in this vehicle but the Bluetooth feature saves the day.

 

Also, a USB port is not provided, and hence charging your phone cannot be possible. The instrument panel features a clean layout with a welcome separation of audio and climate controls. Some of the other features include a :

  • Four-speaker stereo system
  • Satellite radio
  • Bluetooth connectivity
  • Navigation system

Exterior
7.0/10


At the front, you’ll find new headlights that are ever so slightly different from the outgoing cars, they are just a bit angular. They sit around a larger grille that now has three chrome slats rather than two and below is a new bumper with a bigger air dam.

It all makes the car appear a little bit wider. It’s a similar story at the rear where the tail lamps are slimmer and sharper. There are a new boot lid and bumper as well.

The Toyota Corolla and the Mazda 3 share the same wheelbase at 106.3 inches but the Chevy Cruze is the only sedan in this competition to sit high from the ground. It has a ground clearance of 6.5 inches. At 183.3 inches, the Jetta is the longest sedan with a curb weight of 2859 pounds. Some of the exterior features include:

  • Black grille
  • Body-colored door handles
  • Power-folding mirrors
  • Bi-xenon headlights
  • LED daytime running lights
  • 18-inch wheels

Safety
9.3/10


Safety is a top priority for Volkswagen and hence the sedan was highly regarded for its top safety ratings from both the safety agencies. The new Volkswagen Jetta was privileged with the ‘Top Safety Pick’ award for its ‘Good’ safety ratings in all the crash tests. Likewise, the Jetta also received a full five stars too. The only downside of this sedan in this field is that it doesn’t come with advanced safety features. Some of the available safety features include:

  • Front & Rear Parking Sensors
  • Rearview Camera
  • Blind Spot Monitoring
  • Forward Collision Warning
  • Rear Cross-Traffic Alert

Final Verdict


At a starting price of $16,215, the Volkswagen Jetta is less expensive than many of its rivals. Residual values for the Jetta are expected to trail values for the Honda Civic and the Toyota Corolla over time. However, strong demand for the Jetta puts its residual values on par with the exceptionally strong Honda Civic. You’ll like the Volkswagen Jetta if you want a practical fun and comparatively roomy compact sedan. With few high-end touches throughout, buyers used to the semi-premium feel of the previous Jetta may feel underwhelmed by the latest version.
