Miles Overview
The 2026 Jetta is Volkswagen's compact sedan, slotting below the Passat and above the smaller Polo in the global lineup. It competes with the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Mazda3, offering a more European driving feel than most rivals. The Jetta's steering is direct and its chassis feels composed, making it genuinely enjoyable on a back road. The ride is on the firm side, which sharpens handling but can transmit sharper impacts into the cabin. Inside, the Jetta offers a clean, well-built cabin with generous rear legroom for the class and a sizable trunk. The SEL adds perforated Vienna leather, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, and a 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster over the SE. The 1.5L I4 makes 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic driving the front-wheel drive; it returns 33 mpg combined. On the SEL, the sport suspension drops the body 0.6 inches, sharpening turn-in feel at the cost of a tauter ride over broken pavement.
