What is the fuel economy of the 2025 Jetta and how does it compare to Japanese compact sedans?
The 2025 Jetta with its 1.5L TSI 158-horsepower engine and 8-speed automatic transmission achieves an average of 7.8 L/100 km city and 6.0 L/100 km highway, for a Natural Resources Canada combined rating of 6.9 L/100 km. By comparison, the Toyota Corolla 1.8L rates 7.5 L/100 km combined and the Honda Civic 1.5T averages 7.2 L/100 km. The Jetta accepts regular 87-octane fuel with no power penalty, unlike some competitors that recommend 91 octane. On a standard Canadian year of 20,000 km at an average Quebec fuel price of $1.75/L, the Jetta represents approximately $2,415 in annual fuel costs. The 8-speed transmission significantly aids highway efficiency at the 110–120 km/h speeds common across Canada, keeping the engine at around 1,800 rpm at cruise.
