2020/2021 VW Jetta Comparison

 The 202

The 2021 VW Jetta vs the 2020 VW Jetta

Continuing on the legacy of reliable and functional sedans, the 2021 Volkswagen Jetta offers Michigan drivers a satisfying ride around town and on the highway. The Jetta is a great value to customers who also want to spend less time filling up at the gas station and more time enjoying their time on the road. From the 2020 version of the Jetta to the 2021 model year, VW kept everything relatively unchanged to give drivers the familiarity they desire.    

Performance

Volkswagen Jetta models from both 2020 and 2021 all feature the same efficient turbocharged four-cylinder engine. With 147 horsepower, acceleration and overall performance in the Jetta is pleasant. All models come with a manual six-speed transmission standard, but drivers can opt for an eight-speed automatic transmission instead. One slight improvement the 2021 Jetta enjoys over the 2020 model year is a better highway fuel economy. The 2021 Jetta equipped with manual transmission gets an EPA-estimated 30 MPG city/41 MPG highway compared to the 40 MPG highway the 2020 model was estimated to get.

Exterior & Interior Features

Both the 2020 and 2021 Volkswagen Jetta model years deliver a roomy interior for everyone in the sedan to appreciate. Long trips are made exceptionally comfortable when this extra space is combined with quality features such as ventilated front seating on select trim levels. An intuitive central multimedia system with a clear touchscreen display comes standard on every VW Jetta. Media outlets such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for applicable devices are easily accessed from this system. A subscription-based mobile Wi-Fi® hotspot is also present on every 2021 Jetta. Purchasing either of the top two trim levels of the 2021 Jetta adds wireless charging functionality to the sedan.  

Safety Features

Operating both the 2020 and 2021 VW Jetta family of sedans is simple with the inclusion of great safety technology. All Jetta models are easy to handle with their lightweight frame aiding in improved maneuverability. Select trims of the 2021 Jetta offer improved safety technology including Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert for safer merging between lanes. Forward Collision Warning and Automated Emergency Braking also come on these trims for frontal protection against accidents.
