The new Jetta is powered by a 2.0L TSI turbocharged four-cylinder engine, providing 228 horsepower through a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission. You can get the new Jetta with a six-speed manual if you'd like to be more proactive in the driving experience. I found the automatic transmission enough to give me a spark in driving.
