Refreshed 2025 VW Jetta stays cheap, GLI keeps manual



The Volkswagen Jetta is headed for the 2025 model year with just another refresh, though arguably VW doesn't want to mess with something that's working. The compact sedan has more than doubled its sales so far this year, and this quarter has outsold individually the Taos and the Atlas Cross Sport, making it the third best-seller for the brand.

So with that in mind, the Jetta's changes are primarily to the styling and some of the features. They all get a new front fascia that's smoother and features a smaller main grille. They can be had with a thin light bar that connects the LED headlights. The regular Jettas have a chrome accent strip in the lower front fascia, whereas the GLI goes with red. And at least on the GLI, there's a little Autobahn logo and the words "Let's Go!" hidden in part of the lower grille mesh. At the back, the changes are a tad more subtle, with the main one being the now-connected taillights.
