VW Jetta Trim Comparison: What’s the Same?

Let’s start on what makes these two trims the same. For one, you’ve got a powerful engine with turbo power in every model, even the base trim. It’s got more horsepower for model year 2022 compared to model 2021, meaning you can hit the gas and have even more fun.

In addition, IQ.Drive is standard on both of these models, while it’s not standard on the base trim. This is a truly advanced piece of VW Jetta safety technology, allowing Washington D.C. drivers to take advantage of all these great features to keep them safe and connected:

  • Travel Assist
  • Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
  • Active Blind Spot Monitor
  • Rear Traffic Alert
  • Front Assist
  • Emergency Assist (automatic transmission only)
  • Lane Assist

VW Jetta Trim Comparison: What’s Different?

When comparing the Jetta SE or SEL, the Jetta SEL options truly stand out for those looking for a more technologically advanced and convenient driving experience in Springfield. While the Jetta SE has leatherette seats standard, you’ll get premium leather when you upgrade to the Jetta SEL. In addition, the front seats are heated and ventilated on the Jetta SEL, while the Jetta SE only offers heated seats. We suggest discussing your Jetta SEL options with someone from our team.
