MPG and Fuel Efficiency Advice
The Jetta has consistently been a bit of an outlier among the Volkswagen lineup. Situated in the middle of the Golf and Passat lineup, buyers tend to overlook the smaller saloon in favour of the more stylish Golf or larger Passat. But the sixth-generation Jetta isn't your average Golf with a boot anymore. Although there is still over 500 litres of space in the boot, the rear passengers benefit from an additional stretch of legroom to make up for the slight reduction in luggage capacity. Now that it is a completely new model, it is a decent vehicle deserving of careful thought.
Since September 2017, WLTP, a stricter fuel economy standard, has been in place; this model was exempt from this requirement. 44 to 68 mpg were the fuel economy estimates made using the previous test system. These numbers, however, are unlikely to be attained in actual driving situations, so they should never be compared to the mpg of a different vehicle that was calculated using the more recent, realistic WLTP system.
Volkswagen Jetta Fuel Consumption
The previous model did not last as long as the more popular Golf model, but it did hold its value better than competitors like the Mazda3 Saloon and Renault Megane. Additionally, you should budget more for Volkswagen servicing, but you'll receive dependable service and excellent customer care.
The best "eco" option is the 1.6 TDI with BlueMotion Technology, similar to a few other models in the range. The Jetta will reportedly get 67 mpg with the manual gearbox and 65 mpg with the seven-speed DSG auto 'box, while its emissions are only 109 g/km and 113 g/km, respectively. This adds start/stop and brake regeneration.
One of the manufacturer's strong points is reliability; VWs are known for their dependability. The majority of the range is already using the engines, and thus far, they all appear to be holding up well. The cabin, though, doesn't feel as good as that of the Passat or Golf.
The fuel consumption of the Volkswagen Jetta is shown below in both MPG (Miles Per Gallon) and km/L (Kilometers Per Litre). Both of these figures show you how far that particular Volkswagen Jetta variant can travel for every gallon (4.55 litres) and every litre (1000ml) of fuel. The higher the MPG or km/L value, the more economical the car is and the cheaper it will be to run. As well as providing the combined figures, we also give you the fuel consumption you can expect from a Volkswagen Jetta in urban / city driving conditions as well as what can be expected on the open highway / motorway.

The 'real fuel consumption' shows you the amount of fuel your Volkswagen Jetta is consuming to travel a fixed distance. This is normally shown as L/100km. This figure shows you the amount of fuel consumed in litres for every 100kms travelled. This is the most commonly used figure for showing the fuel consumption of a vehicle. The formula to calculate it is:
(Litres of fuel used X 100) / Kilometers travelled = L/km.
