Volkswagen Jetta: information, price and comparisons

The Volkswagen Jetta is a compact sedan built in Puebla, Mexico, and VW's last affordable sedan in Canada. Sales jumped 34.7% in 2025 to 15,849, making it the fourth best-selling compact car in the country. The 2026 Jetta starts at CA$27,495 with a 158 hp 1.5L turbo and an 8-speed automatic, while the sportier Jetta GLI costs CA$35,395 with a 228 hp 2.0L turbo and the choice of a 6-speed manual or a dual-clutch automatic. For 2027, the GLI loses its manual, the regular Jetta comes in a single trim, and The Car Guide suggests this generation could be the Jetta's last. Owners of 2025 and 2026 models should check a March 2026 recall for a transmission ground wire fire risk.

The regular Jetta lost its manual with the 2025 refresh, and the Jetta isn't offered with AWD or as a hybrid.

What's changing for 2027

  • Simpler lineup: the 2027 Jetta comes in a single trim level, plus the GLI.
  • No more manual: VW is dropping the GLI's 6-speed manual, its last manual gearbox, saying demand can no longer sustain it.
  • Future uncertain: The Car Guide put the Jetta on its September 2026 list of vehicles that may be cut, noting a successor doesn't appear to be a global priority for VW.

Buying a used Jetta in Canada

Know the engine changes

The current generation launched as a 2019 model. 2019 to 2021 Jettas use a 1.4L turbo, the 1.5L turbo arrived for 2022, and the 2025 refresh brought new styling and dropped the manual on the regular Jetta.

Check the fire-risk recalls

Confirm that a 2025 or 2026 Jetta has had its transmission ground wire inspected under recall 2026-110, and that a 2019 or 2020 car has had the fuel pump and ignition switch recalls done.

Consider the GLI manual while you can

With the manual gone for 2027, a used GLI is the remaining way to get a manual Jetta.
