Volkswagen
Jetta
S · Sport · SE · SEL
A refined compact sedan built for Central Texas commuters — with up to 36 MPG highway, a turbocharged engine, and four well-equipped trims starting well under $30,000.
A Compact Sedan That Punches Above Its Price
The 2026 Volkswagen Jetta brings a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, an 8-speed automatic transmission, and a feature set that most competitors reserve for higher price brackets. All four trims — S, Sport, SE, and SEL — share the same powertrain, making the choice between them mostly about content and refinement rather than capability.
The Jetta's European roots show in its driving dynamics: firm, precise steering and a well-tuned suspension make it feel more substantial than its price suggests. Combined with EPA-estimated 28 MPG city and 36 MPG highway on automatic-transmission models, it's one of the more efficient options in the compact sedan segment — without sacrificing the fun of a turbocharged engine.

Trims & Pricing
Four Trims, One Great Engine
Every 2026 Jetta uses the same 1.5L turbocharged engine. The difference between trims is content, comfort, and technology — not capability. Contact Hewlett Volkswagen to confirm current pricing on in-stock units.
Starting MSRP figures exclude destination ($1,395), taxes, title, license, registration, dealer fees, and options. The Sport trim is the only Jetta available with a 6-speed manual transmission; all other trims use an 8-speed automatic. EPA MPG figures reflect the 8-speed automatic configuration; manual-transmission models are rated slightly lower. Contact Hewlett Volkswagen at 512-681-3500 to confirm pricing and availability on VINs currently in stock.

|---|---|---|---|
| S | $22,995 | 8-Speed Auto | Baseline trim — 1.5L TSI engine, 8-inch touchscreen, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, rear view camera. |
| Sport | $25,495 | 6-Speed Manual or 8-Speed Auto | Adds 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights and taillights, sport suspension tuning, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and is the only Jetta trim offering the 6-speed manual gearbox. |
| SE | $27,495 | 8-Speed Auto | Adds the full IQ.DRIVE driver assistance suite (Travel Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Monitor), a 10-inch touchscreen, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, and keyless access. |

Built In
What the 2026 Jetta Brings to Every Drive
Key features of the 2026 Volkswagen Jetta across the lineup. Feature availability varies by trim — see the trim table above for specific content per level.
1.5L Turbo, All Four Trims
Every 2026 Jetta uses the same 1.5L turbocharged inline-4 producing 150 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an 8-speed automatic — or a 6-speed manual on the Sport — the engine delivers punchy low-end pull without sacrificing fuel economy.
Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto
All Jetta trims include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on either an 8-inch (S/Sport) or 10-inch (SE/SEL) touchscreen. No cable required — connect your phone once and it pairs automatically on every drive.
Safety Tech Across All Trims
Forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, and a rear view camera are standard on the base S trim. The SE and SEL step up to the full IQ.DRIVE suite including Travel Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control.
Up to 36 MPG Highway
EPA-estimated 28 MPG city and 36 MPG highway on 8-speed automatic models — making the Jetta one of the more fuel-efficient compact sedans with a turbocharged engine in its class. Actual fuel economy varies with driving conditions.
German-Engineered Interior
The Jetta's cabin is notably quieter and more refined than many competitors at this price. The SEL adds leather seating, ventilated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof — content typically found at a significantly higher price point in other brands.
4-Year / 50,000-Mile Warranty
Every 2026 Jetta is backed by a 4-year / 50,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty, a 5-year / 60,000-mile Powertrain warranty, and 3 years of complimentary scheduled maintenance — covering your first three routine service visits.
Performance & Efficiency
Turbocharged Fun Without the Fuel Bill
The 1.5L TSI engine punches above its displacement. Volkswagen's EA211 Evo engine family uses Active Cylinder Management technology, shutting down two cylinders at light loads to improve fuel economy without any perceptible change in the driving experience.
The 8-speed automatic shifts quickly and unobtrusively, while the Sport trim's available 6-speed manual puts more control in the driver's hands. Regardless of transmission choice, the Jetta's turbocharged torque — available from just 1,400 rpm — makes it feel lively in everyday Georgetown and I-35 driving conditions.
- 1.5L TSI turbocharged inline-4, 150 hp / 184 lb-ft torque
- 8-speed automatic (S, SE, SEL) or 6-speed manual (Sport)
- EPA Est. 28 City / 36 Highway / 31 Combined (auto)
- Active Cylinder Management for improved efficiency at light load
- Front-wheel drive standard across all trims
Interior & Technology
More Interior Than the Price Suggests
The Jetta's cabin uses quality materials throughout — the SE and SEL in particular offer a level of refinement that typically costs considerably more from other automakers. Road noise suppression is notably effective for a vehicle in this segment, making it a comfortable companion on longer highway drives between Georgetown and Austin.
The SE and SEL gain a 10-inch touchscreen with VW's updated infotainment interface and a fully digital instrument cluster on the SEL. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto work across all trims. The SEL's available panoramic sunroof is a standout feature at this price point.
- 8-inch touchscreen (S/Sport) or 10-inch (SE/SEL), wireless CarPlay and Android Auto
- Digital instrument cluster standard on SEL
- Heated front seats and heated steering wheel standard on SE and SEL
- Leather-appointed seating and ventilated front seats on SEL
- Panoramic sunroof available on SEL
- Beats audio system standard on SEL
IQ.DRIVE & Safety
A Full Suite from SE Upward
Forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and lane-keep assist are standard across all four Jetta trims. The SE and SEL add the full IQ.DRIVE suite, which brings Travel Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go capability, Active Blind Spot Monitor with steering intervention, and Rear Traffic Alert.
Travel Assist provides steering and speed support on compatible highway roads with marked lanes. IQ.DRIVE features are driver assistance tools and are not a substitute for attentive, active driving. The driver must remain alert and ready to take control at all times.
- Forward collision warning with AEB — standard on all trims
- Lane-keep assist and rear view camera — standard on all trims
- IQ.DRIVE (Travel Assist, Adaptive Cruise, Blind Spot) — SE and SEL

Why the Jetta
What Sets the 2026 Jetta Apart in Its Class
Four reasons Georgetown and Austin compact sedan shoppers keep landing on the Jetta over similarly priced alternatives.
European Drive Character
The Jetta's chassis tuning, steering weight, and suspension setup reflect Volkswagen's German engineering priorities — precise, connected, and notably more engaging than most compact sedans at this price point.
Strong Value at Every Trim
Whether you're starting at the S or stepping up to the SEL, each Jetta trim delivers content that typically costs more from other brands — especially at the SE and SEL levels where IQ.DRIVE, heated seats, and a panoramic roof come standard.
Fuel Economy Without Compromise
36 MPG highway on automatic-transmission models means the Jetta can comfortably cover Georgetown to San Antonio on a single tank. The turbocharged engine delivers strong low-end torque for daily driving without sacrificing efficiency.
Carefree Maintenance Included
Three years of Volkswagen-covered scheduled maintenance is included with every new 2026 Jetta — oil changes, inspections, and routine service per VW's published maintenance schedule, at no additional cost for the first three visits.

One reviewer noted that Hewlett's finance team made the paperwork fast and straightforward, with no last-minute add-ons they hadn't discussed — a welcome change from previous dealership experiences.
A returning Hewlett customer on their second Volkswagen from the same dealership said the service department is just as consistent as the sales side — quick communication, accurate estimates, and no surprises on pickup.
