The 2027 Volkswagen Jetta sharpens a compact-sedan favorite with more standard technology and convenience, especially on the trims most shoppers start with. This is a model-year update rather than a redesign, so the Jetta keeps its clean styling, roomy cabin, and value pricing while adding useful upgrades. Here is what is new, what is changing, and what carries over as you shop the Jetta at Kunes VW of Springfield in Springfield, IL.

What's New for 2027

Volkswagen loads up the entry trims for 2027. The S and Sport now include the Composition Media infotainment system along with KESSY keyless access and push-button start, conveniences that used to require stepping up the lineup. Every Jetta also gets an enhanced rear seatbelt reminder. The result is a better-equipped starting point, so even the most affordable Jetta feels a step more modern.

What's Changing This Year

The GLI goes automatic-only. For 2027 the Jetta GLI Autobahn drops its six-speed manual and comes exclusively with Volkswagen's quick-shifting 7-speed DSG automatic, paired with the familiar 228-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo and 258 pound-feet of torque. Pricing stays approachable across the board: the S starts at $23,995, Sport at $25,395, SE at $26,995, and SEL at $29,995, with the GLI Autobahn at $33,795 (all before a $1,325 destination charge).

What's Carrying Over

The Jetta keeps what makes it a smart buy. The crisp exterior styling and spacious, well-finished interior carry into 2027, and the standard turbocharged four continues to balance peppy performance with strong efficiency. The familiar trim walk (S, Sport, SE, and SEL, plus the sporty GLI) remains, so the 2027 update adds equipment and simplifies the GLI without changing the Jetta's practical, value-first character.
