The 2027 Volkswagen Jetta is a compact sedan built around smart efficiency and a well-stocked cabin. Every trim uses a 1.5 L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with 158 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque, an 8-speed automatic transmission and a combined fuel economy rating of 7.2 L/100 km.
The line-up has three trims: Trendline, Comfortline and Highline. Each one builds on the last, so the real question is how much comfort and technology you want. This guide lays out the key numbers, explains what each trim adds, and helps you decide which Jetta suits your budget and your daily drive.

The Jetta’s turbocharged engine delivers its 184 lb-ft of torque early, which helps the sedan feel quick when merging or pulling away from a light. The 8-speed automatic keeps the engine in its efficient range, and a start/stop system with regenerative braking helps save fuel in traffic.
Efficiency also comes from the shape of the car. With a drag coefficient of just 0.26 Cd, the Jetta slips through the air with less effort at highway speeds. That helps explain its 5.9 L/100 km highway rating.
Comfortline buyers can add the Sport Package, which brings Driving Profile Selection and the XDS electronic differential lock for sharper cornering. Both features are standard on the Highline.
Every Jetta starts with an 8.0-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone climate control, a heated leather steering wheel and heated front seats. USB-C ports with fast charging and 60/40 split-folding rear seats come standard too, and the 399 L trunk handles groceries, luggage and sports bags with ease.
The Comfortline adds leatherette seats, a 6-way power driver seat with power lumbar support, wireless charging, SiriusXM, voice control, remote start and KESSY keyless access. The Highline moves up to leather seats, ventilated front seats, heated rear outer seats, a memory driver seat, built-in navigation and the Volkswagen Premium Audio System with 6 speakers plus a subwoofer.
Every Jetta includes Front Assist with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, plus Side Assist blind spot monitoring with Rear Traffic Alert. A rearview camera and Hill Hold Assist are also standard.
The Comfortline and Highline add Travel Assist, which pairs Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go and Lane Assist to help reduce fatigue on long highway drives. Both trims also include Light Assist automatic high beams and rain-sensing wipers.
The Trendline covers the basics well. It rides on 16-inch Kiwano alloy wheels and includes LED headlights, LED taillights with an illuminated rear light line, cloth seats, a 6-way manual driver seat, cruise control and the 8.0-inch Volkswagen Digital Cockpit.
The Comfortline is the trim most buyers will want to look at closely. It steps up to 17-inch Madrid alloy wheels and adds Travel Assist, remote start, keyless access and a power driver seat. The optional Sport Package adds 18-inch Phantom black alloy wheels, a power sunroof, ambient lighting with up to 10 colours, the 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro and black exterior trim.
The Highline brings the most features as standard. It rides on 18-inch Phantom alloy wheels and includes the power sunroof, ambient lighting, leather seats, ventilated front seats, heated rear outer seats, navigation and premium audio.

Pick the Trendline if you want a fuel-efficient sedan with the key safety features and simple controls. It suits students, first-time buyers and commuters who need a dependable daily car.

Go with the Highline if comfort is your top priority. Leather, ventilated seats, heated rear seats, navigation and premium audio make it the most complete Jetta you can buy.
Every Jetta is also backed by a 4-year/80,000 km new vehicle limited warranty and a 5-year/100,000 km powertrain limited warranty.
The best way to feel the difference between the Trendline, Comfortline and Highline is to drive them back to back. Book your test drive at Volkswagen MidTown Toronto and our team in Toronto will help you compare the trims and choose the Jetta that fits your needs.
