The new 2023 Jetta and 2023 Jetta GLI have now arrived at Volkswagen Lauzon in Blainville near Mirabel! If you are looking for a compact car in which you can have blind trust, this Volkswagen sedan is just what you need; read on to learn more about it!
The 2023 Jetta in a Nutshell
The entry-level 2023 Jetta remains virtually unchanged from the outgoing 2022 Jetta model, and yet it does offer one novelty from the outgoing model. For example, it now comes standard with blind spot monitoring, which was not the case in 2022.
Moreover, all versions of the 2023 Volkswagen Jetta come standard with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, among other things.
Otherwise, all versions of the Jetta hide under their hoods a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder engine with 158 horsepower; and while a 6-speed manual transmission is offered for the base versions, only an 8-speed automatic transmission is offered for the top Highline version. Unfortunately, the 2023 Jetta is not available with all-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive.
In the case of the 2023 Jetta GLI, it is equipped with a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder engine that generates 228 horsepower; for this model, you can choose between a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed DSG transmission.
