About this generation

The seventh Jetta sits on the MQB platform, offering a coupe-like roofline, Digital Cockpit, and an 8-speed automatic transmission.

The Volkswagen Jetta VII (Typ BU) debuted at the 2018 Detroit Auto Show. Constructed on the MQB architecture, its footprint expanded, producing a fastback-like coupe silhouette with a sloping rear C-pillar. The bold front design includes a prominent hexagonal grille framed by standard LED headlights. The model caters primarily to the Americas and China.

The cockpit features the customizable Digital Cockpit dashboard, 10-color ambient lighting, and ventilated leather seating. Power comes from a 1.4 TSI (147 hp), updated in 2021 to a 1.5 TSI (158 hp) linked to an 8-speed automatic. The performance Jetta GLI packs a 228-231 hp 2.0 TSI and multi-link rear suspension.
