At Extreme Investor Network, we keep you ahead of the curve with all the latest updates in the business world. Today, we’re diving into the exciting news from Volkswagen, who just announced updates for its 2025 Jetta sedan to drive sales in the face of industry-wide affordability concerns.
The entry-level version of the Jetta will sport an automatic transmission and start at $21,995 when it hits the market by the end of the third quarter. This move is aimed at attracting more buyers, especially those who prefer automatic transmissions over manual ones.
Amid worries about vehicle affordability and growing inventories due to the impact of the pandemic and supply chain issues, Volkswagen is smartly positioning the new Jetta as a more accessible option for consumers. In fact, the Jetta’s new starting price is significantly lower compared to the average transaction price of a new car sold in May.
Volkswagen Group of America CEO Pablo Di Si sees great potential for the Jetta in North America, highlighting a 60% production increase in recent years. Despite the overall decline in traditional car sales, Jetta sales saw a 24% boost last year, solidifying its position as one of VW’s best-selling vehicles in the U.S.
In addition to the price and transmission upgrades, the 2025 Jetta will sport tweaked exterior and interior styling, along with new standard features. The sedan will come equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and an eight-speed transmission, with a “GLI” performance model still offering a manual option.
