This is a Motormouth couple car review of the updated 2022 Volkswagen Jetta compact sedan. What’s New for 2022? The Jetta gets a refresh with one of the biggest changes being the adoption of the 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine found in the Taos compact SUV. It comes with a standard 6-speed manual or available 8-speed automatic transmission, 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, FWD only. There’s also new technology including a standard Volkswagen Digital Cockpit, new interior design elements, updated exterior styling with new front and rear bumpers, new colours and unique wheel designs for each trim.
The Jetta comes standard with a 6.5” touchscreen, available 8”, a Volkswagen Digital Cockpit with an 8” display, available 10.25”, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto,
a manual driver and passenger seat, heated cloth seats, heated leather steering wheel, LED headlights, LED taillights and 16” two-tone alloy wheels.

Other available features include, a sunroof, ambient lighting, a power driver’s seat, driver seat memory, wireless charger, ventilated front seats, leather seating surfaces, heated rear seats and an 8-speaker BeatsAudio system.

If you are looking for a sportier look, there’s a new Sport package for $1,400 CAD available on the mid-level Comfortline trim with exterior and interior touches like a sport bumper, blacked-out-grille, mirror caps and window trim plus dark 17” alloy wheels. It also has a sport suspension, an electronically locking front differential and drive selection mode with 4 different drive modes to choose from that deliver fun to drive handling and performance. The interior includes, a black headliner, leatherette sport seats and a sunroof. In the US, you get a new Sport model, which replaces the R-Line model with similar features.

In Canada, the Jetta 6-speed manual starts at $22,895/automatic $24,295,

I’ve owned more German cars than Japanese. I prefer the more stoic and simplified design approach. Japanese cars tend to focus too much on build quality, efficiency and reliability. True… good things to focus on, but far too often it is at the cost of passion. The focus of German cars is simplified to putting the driver, and the driving experience at the forefront. My Wife drives a fully loaded Jetta Highline (with the Fender 9-speaker audio system) and absolutely loves it. The Jetta provides a non-flashy, comfortable and relaxing drive at a very respectable price … even fully loaded. Compared to the overstyled, weird ‘interiored’ (new word) and over-priced Honda Civic… the Jetta is clear winner (lest I mention the GLI). Thanks for the video.

I drove one the other day was shocked by how well it drove. So quiet, handles really well and so composed, was a manual and the shifts were sooo smooth. Great car for the money! Felt like driving a $40k car.

I watched this and went to a dealership to test drive one. Wow, it drives so nicely for such a low price point! On paper, the engine seems meh, but everything just clicks perfectly for this car and it's dynamic, powerful and comfortable at the same time. Plus, the interior looks wayyy nicer than older generations. All in all, a reliable and fun car with great value.

My first car was a Jetta and I just traded her in a month ago. She was 17, had zero problems with her along the way. 😊 I wanted an suv and to sit higher but would go back to the Jetta if we ever needed a smaller car again.

I had Wolfsburg Edition 1.8 Turbo Jetta purchased new in 2003. My car had very few issues. Had it for almost 11 years. Paint was still good, and got a good trade in toward my Honda Accord.
This looks like a good value, thanks for doing this video, enjoy your twice a week reviews.

I bought and loved a new ’85 Jetta. Our basset hound slept on the shelf behind the rear seats. We were tailgated a lot, and eventually realized that people were getting close to see whether he was real.

I have this exact Jetta, same Color. Luxury trim. This car is perfect, in every way. It’s fast, picks up speed, good on gas!!! And affordable.

Nice review. I have the SE for about a month and just about 3K miles on it. The main selling point to me was the quietness of the cabin compared to competition which you highlighted several times in your review. Also regularly getting 45 mpg hwy driving, which is very impressive for a non-hybrid vehicle.

I feel excited to see a sedan review, who would've thought? 🤔 Great review of a great car 🥳

[patricklachance]

All I see in front is a Ford Taurus: beurk! The rest of it looks great and I believe it would be a sacrilege not to go with the manual transmission. Great review, as always!

[jeffreywatson]

Own a '19 Jetta R line. Great car, super economy during this fuel nonsense. Also fun to drive when in the mood!

I always have a soft spot for Jetta. My first European car was a Mk4 Jetta 2.0 GLS. It drives really well when it doesn't break down. It have the same kind of luxury ambience as many more expensive German sports sedans, or with the same kinds of expensive quality problems. For Mk4 generation, it looks like a "baby B5 A4" which my dad had that period of time.

I like the analog climate controls with physical knobs. It's a safety issue for me, as drilling through menus on the touch screen takes eyes off the road more.

I rented 2021 1.4T for a long haul trip few days ago and I was able to get 17KM/L. This is probably one of the most fuel efficient vehicle in its class which has torque converter automatic.

I knew Zack will have something to say about the inches subject
😁

[bengt_axle]

“I’m glad you didn’t say 6.5 (inches) is too small.”

I want to request from you guys to try to always mention where the vehicles you test come from or where are they assembled. Doing so, you gives credit to whom deserves it, and make sure information for the consumer is complete.
The two last cars you've tested, the Mustang Mach E Gt, and now the Jetta, are not only assembled in Mexico, but many of its parts come from there to. Knowing this let use appreciate the relationship between the origin of a vehicle and the quality we can expect.
Thank you for your always fine reviews.
Cheers to your followers.
