Amazing how half the comments are talking about how the styling is boring. Have you never seen a vw/audi before? That's how they style their cars, they're always clean and reserved styling. That's why this car will still look new in 15 years. This is the small sedan for adults who don't want a corolla that looks like a plastic alien space ship with a big mouth

I just bought one of these cars this last weekend. Same exact color, SEL Premium. I like the car alot so far. The 1.4t does a very good job of getting this car along when mated with the 8 speed. I see about 40 mpg daily. Very comfortable car and great build quality.

10,000 jettas sold per month. Ford: Everybody wants crossovers, time to ditch sedans.

Wow I'm surprised the touchscreen is ahead of the game and looks so modern. You said it this car will age well. Good price too

Hey guys!! We wanted to clarify one available feature. This trim in the video is missing the late availability “Cold Weather Package” which bundles remote start, heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, and a heated windshield for $495.

Wasn't expecting this review up so fast. Great work. I really like this car. It's very understated.

Ahhh, Beautiful Jordan Lake. You drove right by my house on Farrington Rd. Your video on the 2016 Jetta helped me buy it. I love the 1.4 t engine. Never lacked in power merging with highway traffic and passing on rural NC two lane roads, and I always get around 40mpg. I’ve clocked 65,000 miles so far and no problems yet.

I watch a lot of car reviews, and this guy is my favorite. He is so mater of fact and concise. Great job!

wow....1st new gen jetta review on KZfaq

This car should not be mentioned with a corolla. A corolla is no where near as good as this.

i can’t believe you came to my city and state that’s amazing i watch everything you post such detailed videos about new released cars !

What a great comprehensive review! Had all the info I wanted plus more! Your vocal delivery is among the best I've heard. Good job! Happy to subscribe to hear more from you!

THANK YOU for using a wide angle lens!!!! Much better for actually looking at the interior.

I love how you are so comfortable doing the reviews. As always, great job.

My 2016 SEL was totaled in an accident! I got the 2020 R line with cold weather package, I preferred R line because it had better looking wheels then the SE, SEL and SEL Premium. I do miss my 1.8 engine from my 2016 but the drive is so much more smoother in my 2020! Great review, will watch more of your videos!!!

Saw it at the NY auto show last week and fell in love with it. I had a 2014 Jetta then traded for a 2017 Tiguan but after this lease definitely going back to the Jetta. Very Impressed!

I love how im just a 14 year old watching these types of videos🙃

The SEL Premium now comes with the Cold Weather Package with no extra charge. Heated rear seats, heated steering wheel, remote start from your key fob, and heated windshield washer nozzles .

It's good to see Sofyan in good health. God bless.

I’ve been waiting a year for the new Jetta and I can’t wait till they become on sale! Very excited

I was waiting to a review of this Mk7 Jetta for a long time, Thanks !!

Excellent review as always, Sofyan. Love the dash on this Jetta. Reminds me of MB dashes from the 90s. I like the exterior styling too. Some of the lines, esp. the side profile, smack of the current Fusion - the beauty of the midsize class IMO.

i really like the dash layout,modern tech but a very user friendly tidy setup,it doesn't look overly crowded and complicated,well done vw.

This is a really well done, comprehensive review. Good job!

Great review...you do a great job with your reviews!

If a Taurus slept with a Sonata

Thank you so much for this review. So well done. I'm car shopping right now and salespeople don't do the walkaround because they don't have to. Everything sells. I can't fully get a grip on the trim differences.

Since we are all sharing our experiences, I'll share mine. My dad owned a 2003 VW Jetta 2.0 (non turbo) in silver, back in about oh 2008-2015. I was allowed to use the car to commute to college and my internship back then and I grew to love the budget yet semi-refined presentation of the car (soft touch plastics, materials and overall interior/exterior design INCLUDING the gas strut). My dad's 2003 Jetta was an automatic with transmission overheating issues, so when I eventually went to look for a car of my own I wanted another Jetta. I found a 2015 one at a Carmax like dealership. Same color too. I eyed it up and down, then asked to sit in it, and that is when the desire was killed for me. The newer generations of Jetta feel smaller on the inside, the seats felt smaller, the interior felt crap. The plastics felt harder and seemed to replace many of the soft touch plastics. I raised the hood and it nearly fell on me (this is when I noticed the absence of the gas strut). The iconic orange-red tach needles against the blue gauge cluster, gone. Standard heated seats, gone. There is more I could complain about but I'm ranting enough as it is. The long and short of it is that VW buyers used to be a niche of people that wanted budget luxury, an economy car+ with nice styling if you will, and were willing to pay a little more to get it. VW has, since about 2013 started cheaping out on their cars (at least the Jetta, it's what I was interested in and looking at) in order to attract a broader consumer base, and in turn has alienated the niche it once had. Oh, and for those that are interested.. I now drive a 2016 Special Edition Camry. Not the most exciting car, but it's better than you'd think if you've never driven one. Plus blue seats and blue needles/purple gauges are pretty awesome.

Just upgraded from an MK4 Jetta to a 2013 CC but this new Jetta is beautiful 🔥 Still Team Jetta at heart 😭 Nice review 👍🏽

Everybody in here is complaining about *Something* with the car and I'm just here like "That's hot.... that's hot.."

Love your reviews, bud. Quick and on point.

Just picked up the Execline (SEL Premium) 6 spd manual. Love it. Had the 2011 MK 6 TDI Great reviews!!

Best Car I've driven so far, it's pretty good on gas and the road. I rented one, used it for 2 days it was awesome. I usually look for road stability and no road noise this is a good car.

That is why, I always go for German made cars.

I really like your reviews. Beyond a thumbs up, I think your reviews are polished and un-biased, so thought I'd let you know.

I picked up this car new, in February 2020. SEL Premium with Nav and same color. They had it marked down to 24k since it was a 2019. Came with remote start and rear heated seats also. It has decent handling and decent acceleration, and all the other toys mentioned. I love it and plan to drive it 7-10 years.

Taking fake exhaust to the next level...

Very nice car! As the owner of a 2017 S3 that's maxed out with Full LED lights and their technology package, I am still jealous of several of the features this Jetta has, except for the power and AWD, of course -which is why I bought an S3! Maybe something like this for my son's first car... ;)

if you are using Android Auto can the Google maps/nav be cast to the instrument panel display or does it only live on the center screen?

My mom has a 2010 Volkswagen jetta 2.5 and I find it to handle very well and it really picks up speed quick, it can really take a beating.

The nicest looking interior in the compact class.

3 biggest mistakes, getting rid of the 1.8t engine, fake exhaust tips, and no rear vents or rear heated seats

Really pleasantly surprised with this one. Lots of standard features and the car rides nicely and the engine has a small output but feels much more sprightly. I love the 8-speed auto and the interior is very upscale looking and ergonomic.

you are the best auto reviewer on youtube good work yet again

I went to the dealer and it's so true, thought it was just like the a3

The Volkswagen Taurus

Really enjoy your videos. Appreciate how articulate you are compared to others. I’ve owned an MkIII and IV and loved them. This newest one just doesn’t do it for me. 😪

Where did you get that Bluetooth usb for the car play? What is it called? Thanks!

The rear lights are just like the 2017 sonata

Most of the issues I have with this Jetta are reasonable for it's price (torsion beam rear, underpowered motor, some missing interior features) but I wouldn't put up with them on the higher SEL trims. That said, I'd imagine all of these issues will be rectified on the GLI and that should be the model to get. As far as Jettas have been concerned though, the best choices have been to keep it cheap and reap the benefits of the lower models price saving or get the GLI. I don't see the value proposition in loading up a Jetta to upper SE and SEL trims at that point.

Traffic sign (ie speed limit)recognition availability?

Before these new gen Jetta were released, the only reason to buy one (in my eyes) was because they had the beautiful sounding inline 5 mated to a manual transmission. I wish they still offered that engine option.

Bought one and lovin’ it! Thanks for your review.

Is it possible if i want to change the push start button to the old school key ignition start?

Way better in person. Front end actually reminded me of the newer mustangs in the front in person. Can’t wait to drive one

That new 6yr 72k miles warranty though😁😁😁, VW winning me over

VWs are much more classy and mature than other cars in their segments

Nice review.can you please tell which cameras are you using?Thanks.

That's one thing I've always loved about the Jetta is the trunk space. My MK2 and MK6 is huge. Although it took a while for the mk6 to grow on me I bought one but I don't see this growing to my taste. I was hoping for more of a classic Jetta spin-off with the new mk7 but they went full Ford Taurus with this thing.

Definitely good starter car for college grads.

He talks about this being the top trim, but the GLI has always been the top trim with the bigger engine and the sportier suspension.

Good video, well presented. Enjoyable and informative.

Best car reviews on KZfaq. Thank you Sir

Coming in hot with this review!

I own the 2014 jetta 1.8T SE and I’m upset vw is no longer making a 1.8T

What’s the difference between Execline and SEL? I have no idea and I’m not getting my answer from google. Someone please help!

Good video review. Evolutionary rather revolutionary design. Will put on list of possibilities. Reviewer has on nice shirt.

It looks like my 2017 Audi A7 especially from the rear I think Volkswagen did a great job on this vehicle it looks awesome all-around

At 185.1 inches long and 70.8 inches wide, it's a pretty big "baby" -- it's longer and wider than the Passat of just two generations ago! And yet, it has less front and rear legroom, a smaller trunk (14.1 cu.ft. according to VW's web site), and even a smaller fuel tank than the Mk6 Jetta. Not to mention the lack of a manual transmission in anything other than the base S trim level, and the torsion beam that replaces the fully independent multilink rear suspension. And curiously, 3 less horsepower from the 1.4T engine.

Stepping up your soundtrack game, nice :)

Does the sunroof open? I keep seeing ans hearing people say it but does it open?

A Jetta Wagon SEL would be perfect!!. 🌚👌🏿

I really like what I'm seeing here, except for the fact that VW STILL will not address the volume knob graphic turning with the knob.

which one would you choose between this and the mazda 3 2018 ?

what's the track at the beginning of the footage ?

Damn this car looks beautiful

Such a beautiful car

Does this come with an inter cooler!? I didnt see one

im currently in a 2015 passat se w/ 1.8. its nice and broken in at abt 45000 and a lot of fun to drive. seriously considering the 19 jetta but that 1.4 has me reluctant. i kind of get from what you are saying that the torque makes up for that. will i notice much of a diff in power & play between this jetta and my 15 passat? you always do the best reviews, thank you!

Got this as my 1st car :)

I wish these car experts could dig into the reliability and let us know how well built they are and if they will last.

Sofyan, I’m moving to California within 2 weeks. So, I’d like to know which is better: Jetta SEL or Sentra SR 2020? I saw you drove both, and they cost the same price. P.S.: I love feeling the gears changed and reduce the speed with motor breaking using the gears, so that’s my problem with the CVT. But, Sentra has ceramic brake pads material. So, tell me about your impressions. Is better go with the Tiguan? Thanks a lot.

What are your thoughts on the auto "stop/start" feature? A lot of people don't like this. If you decide to turn it off, will it give you any kind of annoying warning that it's off?

It’s growing on me, but those rims are hideous.

Audi A4 on a budget!

rear heated seats are available with the cold weather package, on multiple trim levels.

Good review. I am German living in Texas so I might biased but this is a good neutral review. I currently drive a Honda SUV CRV, which I love, but I might consider the Jetta as a next car.

Is it me or do I see a Nissan Quest resemblance up in the front?

0:20 "compact car" That's considered a yacht on European roads haha

Subscribed, great review!

I recently purchased a 2019 Jetta Execline which is a trim in Canada . I’ve noticed a certain sound that comes from the engine , it’s almost like a ticking sound with a grinding noise. I’m not quite sure if this is normal or something to worry about? I’d love for you to touch on this subject Sofyan.

Review the manual!!!

Looks as if a Ford Fusion and Honda Accord had a baby

Where was this filmed? Those rowing shells and the lake view look really familiar...

Im still driving my MK4 jetta wagon... Still runs strong :)

These cars have a really low retail, especially the S model. Also, the fuel economy is going to draw a lot of attention. Some people are seeing 45 mpg on highway commutes.

That reminds me of a 2008 Chrysler Sebring with that hood. Still a nice update nonetheless I suppose.

I love watching your videos!

What is the real average price for the S model? MSRP is $17,000, but how much does dealer drop usually?

I'm getting charger vibes with this car. ....mixed with a fusion🤔
