Car and Driver

Andrew Wendler‘s review for Car and Driver praised the 2025 Volkswagen Jetta. He called it a reliable, fuel-efficient, and budget-friendly small sedan. Wendler appreciated the car’s roomy cabin and ability to balance ride quality with handling.

“The chassis is tuned more for a quiet and comfortable ride than razor-edge handling,” said Wendler. “In this case, ‘performance’ means a pleasant personality that doesn’t mind stretching its legs when called upon.”

He also gives the Jetta points for its fuel economy and value, especially in the Sport trim.

“While it’s hard to ignore the S model’s bargain price, the Sport trim hits the sweet spot for just a few dollars more,” said Wendler. “We’re pleased to report that previous Jetta models with the automatic exceeded their EPA Highway estimates in our 75-mph fuel-economy route, returning an impressive 42 mpg.”

Wendler notes that though the six-speed manual transmission is limited to the Jetta GLI. However, he still finds it a strong contender in its class, offering a comfortable and practical ride.

“… it’s still a worthy competitor in the shrinking compact sedan segment,” said Wendler.

Kelley Blue Book

Joe Tralongo reviewed the Jetta and Jetta GLI on Kelley Blue Book’s website. He highlighted the 2025 Volkswagen Jetta as an impressive choice for those seeking a European-inspired ride experience at an affordable price. Tralongo pointed out that the Jetta’s redesigned exterior and interior make it an even more appealing option for those searching for a sedan. Not to mention, it includes a great lineup of safety features and starts at a lower starting price than the 2024 Jetta.

“Volkswagen pulled off a neat trick this year, offering the base S trim at a lower price than last year but with more standard equipment,” said Tralongo. “The update helps the Jetta compete with the stylish Hyundai Elantra, lesser-equipped Toyota Corolla, and more expensive Honda Civic.”

He also highlights the spacious cabin, supportive seats, and modern technology. He specifically mentions the standard 8-inch touchscreen and enhanced driver-assist systems.

“The most significant improvements happen inside the Jetta’s roomy and refined cabin, which gets even better for 2025,” said Tralongo. “Overall, the interior space is generous, with rear legroom of 37.4 inches, which is comparable to the Honda Civic and Hyundai Elantra.”

He also commented on Jetta’s fun-to-drive nature, particularly with the GLI. Tralongo notes that with its strong fuel economy and top safety ratings, the Jetta is a solid pick, placing in the top 10 Best Compact Cars.
