New Volkswagen Jetta Serving Wilmington, DE
New Volkswagen Jetta Serving Wilmington, DE
The Volkswagen Jetta is the value-optimized compact sedan for Wilmington buyers who want German engineering, a turbocharged engine, and competitive highway fuel economy without paying compact SUV or import premium-brand prices. Winner VW carries the full Jetta lineup at 1387 N Dupont Hwy, Dover, DE 19901. Browse Jetta inventory or call (302) 321-1688. We're approximately 50 miles south of Wilmington from Wilmington, about 50 minutes via US-13 South.
The Jetta's strengths align closely with what Wilmington's commuter market actually needs. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine — upgraded with variable valve timing and a new direct injection system — delivers 158 horsepower and an EPA-rated 38 MPG highway with the 8-speed automatic. That fuel efficiency on I-95 and US-13 commutes translates to real money saved over a lease or ownership term. The Jetta's 94.1 cubic feet of interior volume also outclasses most competing compact sedans on back-seat practicality, making it a viable family sedan at a price that leaves budget for everything else.

The SE brings heated front seats, adaptive cruise control, and a 10.25-inch infotainment display. The SEL adds a sunroof, Fender audio, leather seating, and the complete IQ.DRIVE driver assistance package.
