2023/2024 Volkswagen Jetta Comparison in Bay City

2024 Volkswagen Jetta Compared to the 2023 VW Jetta 
 

How does the 2024 VW Jetta compare to the 2023 Volkswagen Jetta? Among the updates made to the newest iteration of the fan-favorite sedan is the standard inclusion of the extensive IQ.Drive selection of driver-assistance technology. This allows drivers of even the baseline S trim of the 2024 Jetta to have all the quality everyday protection and monitoring options that will make everyday city driving and highway driving more comprehensive. The second-level Sport trim also receives new standard interior amenities to further improve the experience of cruising around Central Michigan in the versatile and spacious everyday cruiser.  

Performance 
 

Efficiency and reliability are consistent elements of the Jetta throughout the vehicle’s history. Bringing back the invigorating turbocharged 1.5L four-cylinder engine from its 2023 iteration, the 2024 Volkswagen Jetta once again provides drivers with a satisfying 158 horsepower. Whether paired with the standard six-speed manual transmission or the available eight-speed automatic option, the performance generated by the sedan is effortlessly controlled to allow peak enjoyment on any adventure. With FWD handling at the driver’s command, there is plenty of control that the driver has while undertaking any mid-Michigan trip while also maintaining the exceptional fuel efficiency the sedan features. An EPA-estimated 30 MPG city/41 MPG highway fuel economy makes the Jetta an appealing economical choice once again.  
 

Interior Features 
 

To continue to innovate the feel inside the everyday sedan, the 2024 Volkswagen Jetta features new elements such as eco-leather upholstery on the steering wheel and the convenience of an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Even the second-tier Sport trim of the 2024 VW Jetta receives a new standard amenity in heated front seating for elevated all-season comfort throughout the year in mid-Michigan. One returning element that every occupant of any 2024 Jetta will appreciate is the collection of convenient and entertaining applications accessible from the onboard infotainment system. In addition to smartphone connection applications such as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth®, VW Car-Net® services allow occupants with compatible devices to stay connected to the Internet through a mobile Wi-Fi® hotspot.  

Safety Features 

The most exciting addition to the 2024 Jetta is found in its base trim level. Drivers of a 2024 Jetta S now have the comprehensive suite of IQ.Drive technology accessible to them without the need for a package purchase. This means they can use coveted driver-assistance features such as Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Warning to help prevent frontal accidents. Similarly, Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert gives them valuable information about what is going on behind them when it comes to seeing traffic approaching from behind them. Adaptive Cruise Control remains an available option on select trims to make the Jetta the fantastic highway-cruising option that Michiganders deserve when it comes to traversing the beautiful state.
