The expectations are high for a new Volkswagen vehicle, with the company's history of crafting well-appointed interiors. For 2023, the VW Jetta gets an updated interior.
Interior Dimensions
Sitting inside the Jetta, you will immediately appreciate the spacious feel of the interior. An available panoramic sunroof will increase this feeling of space when you schedule a test drive.
Those sitting in the front seat will enjoy 38.5 inches of headroom and 41.1 inches of legroom. Those sitting in the rear seats will have plenty of space with 37.2 inches of headroom. The legroom is also impressive at 37.4 inches.
The Jetta has several options for interior colors and materials depending on the Jetta model that you choose. The base models are the Jetta S and Sport.
These vehicles come with the standard fabric upholstery in either Storm Gray or Titan Black. The ceiling and other surfaces inside the vehicle are upholstered in cloth with contrast accent stitching. You can purchase one of the available vehicle protection plans to protect your fabric upholstered seating.
Moving up in the model lineup, the Jetta SE replaces the cloth upholstery with V-Tex synthetic leather upholstery. The front seats are also heated and have eight-way power-adjustable capability. You can choose from Storm Gray or Titan Black for the interior color.
At the top of the Jetta model lineup is the SEL. The seating upholstery is also beautifully upgraded to genuine leather. In addition to the eight-way power-adjustable seats, they are also heated and ventilated.
The steering wheel is also heated for the ultimate driver's comfort. Passengers in the rear seats will appreciate the addition of heating. There are also slightly different color options for the SEL, with Titan Black or Volcano Brown/Black.
Despite the Jetta being a midsize car, you will find the seating to be adult-friendly. There is room for five adults, with plenty of headroom and legroom in the front and rear seats. The base models S and Sport have a manual six-way adjustable driver's seat.
If you have children, you will appreciate the two complete sets of LATCH connectors in the two side rear seats. There are also tether anchor latches for the rear middle seat. This gives you the most flexibility when traveling with your children.
In all of the Jetta models, you will find the seats to feel spacious and comfortable. There is just the right amount of support through the back and seat.
You will find the infotainment system in any Volkswagen vehicle to be user-friendly with an easy-to-use interface. The gentle learning curve means anyone will find navigating the system an enjoyable experience. There is also a nice blend of touchscreen and physical controls.
This gives the Jetta's dashboard a nice visual look that is balanced and not sparse. The infotainment screen is slightly tilted towards the driver. This makes operating the controls from the driver's seat easier.
Standard on the Jetta is a 6.5-inch Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatible touchscreen. It is also Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capable. Two USB ports allow you to connect and charge multiple devices.
If you would like to upgrade the infotainment system in your Jetta, there is an available 8-inch touchscreen. It comes preprogrammed with SiriusXM satellite radio, navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. This setup also slightly changes the interior to add a wireless charging pad.
The sound quality in the Jetta is impressive with the inclusion of BeatsAudio. This gives you complete control over sound quality to tailor the experience to your music genre and sound preferences.
A four-speaker stereo system comes standard. If you upgrade the infotainment system, it comes with a nine-speaker Beats Audio stereo system.
Sit in the driver's seat and experience what makes the Jetta a Volkswagon. The VW Digital Cockpit is a sight to behold. Standard is an 8-inch digital instrument cluster. You can upgrade to the available 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster.
You will find both instrument clusters to have a crisp display that is bright and easy to read. You can configure the display to show you a wide range of information. Every Jetta cockpit comes preprogrammed with state-of-the-art navigation and an intuitive user experience.
The amount of trunk and cargo space packed into the Jetta is impressive at 14.1 cubic feet. To increase hauling capability, the rear seats split 60/40 when folding. That way, you can transport items that are larger than the trunk.
Throughout the interior, you will find a convenient storage compartment. Large pockets are located in the doors. Tray holders are in the center console and alongside the cup holders. Under the armrest is another hidden storage compartment.
Hidden in the interior are front and side airbags that deploy in the event of an accident. This safely surrounds the driver and passengers. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) safety rating reflects the effectiveness of these safety features.
When buying a vehicle, you will hear people focus on the handling and engine performance. But in reality, you should focus on the interior. This is where you will spend your time driving or riding to your destination.
