How many miles per gallon does the Volkswagen Jetta get?

I’m looking into buying a new car for my work commute. I spend an hour in the car each way, and my SUV’s gas mileage just isn’t cutting it. What kind of gas mileage does the VW Jetta get?

The

VW Jetta

is the perfect car for you then! The 2022 Volkswagen Jetta gets up to 29 miles per gallon in the city and 43 miles per gallon on the highway for a combined 34 mpg. This highly-rated model has one of the best fuel economy ratings for a non-hybrid, and it’s pretty affordable starting at just $21,190.

The fuel economy can differ depending on which trim and transmission you choose. Look at the table below to see what mileage you can expect with each style.

Model	Transmission	Combined mileage	City mileage	Highway mileage
Base Jetta	Six-speed manual	34 mpg	29 mpg	43 mpg
Jetta S	Eight-speed automatic	35 mpg	31 mpg	41 mpg
Jetta SE or Jetta SEL	Eight-speed automatic	33 mpg	29 mpg	40 mpg
Jetta GLI	Six-speed manual	30 mpg	26 mpg	37 mpg
Any model	Seven-speed dual-clutch automatic	30 mpg	26 mpg	36 mpg

According to estimates from the EPA, 2022 Jetta drivers will save up to $1,500 in fuel costs when compared to other new vehicles, and GLI drivers can save up to $500.

Jettas will save you more than just gas money—they also usually cost less in

car insurance

than the average Volkswagen.
