Volkswagen Jetta Sport Review

The new Volkswagen Jetta lineup consists of four distinct trims, each representing a slightly different take on the popular VW compact sedan. Of these four Volkswagen Jetta trim levels, the Sport is the second in the lineup, situated just above the entry-level Jetta S.

Uncover the benefits of this feature-rich, value-packed selection from the compelling range of Volkswagen Jetta models by exploring its design, performance, and amenities below.

Volkswagen Jetta Sport Design

The 2025 Volkswagen Jetta Sport received a mild design refresh, including an updated front fascia with new headlights and grille. The 2026 Jetta Sport continues where the 2025 model left off. This variant introduces an integrated light bar in the grille that's not found on the entry-level Jetta S.

Stylish split five-spoke wheels measuring 17 inches in diameter and sporting a machined finish are mounted at all four corners of the vehicle. Black exterior elements, including side-mirror caps and trim, give off sporty vibes well-suited to this sedan.

Inside, stainless steel pedal caps and a black headliner continue the trend toward a sport compact car rather than a simple sedan that this model competes with in the small vehicle segment.

VW Jetta Sport Colors

Complementing the expressive bodywork of the latest Volkswagen Jetta Sport are several stunning hues. The sedan's palette includes the following paint colors:

• Kings Red Metallic
• Monterey Blue Pearl
• Platinum Gray Metallic
• Pyrite Silver Metallic
• Deep Black Pearl
• Monument Gray
• Pure White

VW Jetta Sport Specs: Performance and Dimensions

Like other models in the new Volkswagen Jetta lineup, the Sport variant is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This sedan may therefore also be known as the Volkswagen Jetta 1.5T Sport, due to its powertrain and trim name. If you're searching for a Volkswagen Jetta 1.8T Sport with the 1.8-liter turbocharged engine that previously powered this iteration of the Jetta, you'll want to search the pre-owned market. You can shop for a used VW Jetta for sale here at Berge Volkswagen.

The Jetta Sport provides 158 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, with power routed to the front wheels through a quick-shifting, efficiency-promoting eight-speed automatic transmission.

This compact car delivers sharp, confident handling through its upgraded 17-inch machined alloy wheels, wrapped in all-season tires (the Jetta S base model wears smaller 16-inch wheels). An advanced XDS Cross Differential System is standard on the Jetta Sport for enhanced cornering prowess.

Enjoy excellent efficiency with this small sedan's EPA-estimated 29/40 MPG (City/Highway)¹ rating. The Jetta Sport sips regular unleaded fuel from its 12.8-gallon gas tank. Thanks to the notable Volkswagen Jetta Sport reliability, you can count on this car to deliver dependable performance from its proven, high-efficiency powertrain.

Classified as a compact car, the Jetta Sport measures 186.5 inches long and rides on a 105.7-inch wheelbase. Its low-slung design, with 5.5 inches of ground clearance and a sub-3,000-pound curb weight, makes this sedan an agile, fun, and fuel-efficient ride you won't want to miss.

Inside, the two-row interior supports up to five occupants in comfort with up to 94.7 cubic feet of passenger volume. Legroom reaches 41.1 inches up front and a spacious 37.4 inches for second-row guests.

Find 14.1 cubic feet of cargo space in the trunk, which can be expanded into the cabin with help from the included 60/40 split-folding second-row seats and pass-through area.

Volkswagen Jetta Sport Features

Starting with the exterior of the Jetta Sport, this compact car is equipped with automatic LED headlights, LED daytime running lamps, and LED taillights. The integrated front grille light bar adds even more sharp lighting to this sedan. Its heated, foldable, and power-adjustable side mirrors are finished in black. Rain-sensing front wipers help promote optimized on-road visibility.

Inside, cloth seating surfaces cover the front sports comfort seats, which also offer heating elements. The Climatronic Touch dual-zone automatic climate control keeps your cabin crew comfortable no matter the temperatures outside. Above the auto-dimming interior rearview mirror is a black headliner you won't find on the Jetta base model.

A leather-wrapped multi-function steering wheel is your command center, with the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit in front of the wheel and stylish stainless steel pedal caps below it at your feet.
