About this generation
The Volkswagen Jetta (A7) is a compact car, the seventh generation of the Volkswagen Jetta and the successor to the Volkswagen Jetta (A6). The 2018 Jetta debuted at the 2018 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan, on 14 January 2018, after Volkswagen released an exterior design sketch in December 2017. The Jetta is based on Volkswagen's MQB platform, which underpins other Volkswagen vehicles including the Volkswagen Golf and the Volkswagen Atlas. The A7 Jetta marked the discontinuation of the nameplate in the European market and right-hand-drive markets.
What changed in the facelift
The first facelift for the Jetta was revealed in Chicago in August 2021 for the 2022 model year. Bearing an updated look and design, the new C-segment sedan also gains added kit and a new engine. The 1.5 liter turbo four-cylinder replaces the long-serving 1.4 TSI. The facelifted model simultaneously arrived to the Mexican market a day later. All trim levels receive a higher level of standard equipment, and a new Sport trim replaces the previous R Line model, while the SEL Premium trim is discontinued, leaving the SEL as the top trim level of the standard Jetta lineup.
The GLI lineup is simplified into a single "base" model, and includes all of the standard equipment from the previous top-tier Autobahn trim, along with a lower price. For the standard Jetta lineup, the base S model retains its six-speed manual transmission, which is also available on the new Sport trim. The GLI also retains its standard six-speed manual transmission. The second facelift for the Jetta was revealed on 25 June 2024 for the 2025 model year.
Changes include an updated front fascia design with a new grille and new headlights, there is the option of a full-width light bar on the grille for the Sport trim and above, the rear receives a new full-width light bar, new exterior colors, and new alloy wheel designs. Inside, the interior features a "new three-line" dashboard design, an 8-inch touchscreen head unit is standard on all models, the inclusion of touch capacitive controls for the HVAC system replaced the conventional dials, and new interior colors.
Other changes are the inclusion of the Volkswagen's IQ.Drive safety suite standard on all models and the manual transmission option is no longer available on the regular Jetta (except on the GLI model).
