The new 2022 Volkswagen Jetta is not just more powerful, it also has better fuel consumption

The 2022 Volkswagen Jetta has received a host of improvements last month and although the DNA of the car hasn’t changed, the new Jetta has a more distinctive design, an improved interior layout and more tech, new colours, and a more powerful engine.

The previous 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder that delivered 147 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque is now a 1.5-litre turbo that offers 158 horsepower with the same amount of torque. The Jetta remains the most powerful vehicle in the compact car segment in Canada, but it is also now more fuel-efficient than ever before.

The new 2022 Volkswagen Jetta has received numerous tweaks under the hood that delivers this improved fuel consumption, and they are certainly worth a second look.

The first major change under the hood is an improved compression ratio (11.5 to 1 compared to 10 to 1). This means that the Jetta’s engine can extract more power from every drop of fuel which in turn means that it doesn’t need as much fuel to meet the demands of the driver.

Next, the Jetta’s engine works on a Miller Cycle that has been modified. The Miller Cycle is the way the engine breathes, and it has been improved to make air circulation better within the powertrain. Better air circulation means better efficiency.

Moreover, the 2022 Volkswagen Jetta has higher injection pressure (300 bars versus 200 bars) that lowers the engine’s internal temperature while the cylinders are coated in a plasma powder that reduces friction.

The new 2022 Volkswagne Jetta still delivers the most power of any base model in the compact segment, but now it is one of the most fuel-efficient cars available in its segment today. Contact us today to learn more!
