The 2021 Volkswagen Jetta achieves 29 mpg in the city, 39 mpg on the highway, and 33 mpg combined when equipped with the automatic transmission. With the manual transmission, it makes 30 mpg in the city, 41 mpg on the highway, and 34 mpg combined.

What Makes the 2021 Volkswagen Jetta So Efficient?

The intake and exhaust valves of the 1.4-liter engine feature variable valve timing, leading to an alleviated low-rpm performance and an increased torque for all speeds. Further, it has a relatively high compression ratio of 10:1. Relying on the regular (87 octane) gasoline, the 2021 Volkswagen Jetta generates energy from every drop of fuel.

Further, the Start/Stop system is standard on the automatic transmission models. Thus, when your foot is on the brake pedal, such as during a red light, the system automatically stops the engine. When you release the brake pedal, the engine restarts.
