The 2025 Volkswagen Jetta delivers a comprehensive suite of features designed to handle BC's challenging winter conditions. Building upon Volkswagen's proven experience in cold-weather markets, the refreshed sedan combines advanced technology with practical design elements to deliver confident all-season performance.
The latest Jetta demonstrates exceptional capability in challenging winter conditions through its sophisticated combination of performance, safety, and comfort features. From its refined powertrain to its advanced driver assistance systems, every aspect has been carefully considered to ensure reliable winter performance.
1- Advanced Traction and Stability
The 2025 Jetta's sophisticated chassis design provides exceptional control in winter conditions. The XDS Cross Differential System, standard on Comfortline with Sport Package, Highline, and GLI models, enhances stability and improves handling during cornering on slippery surfaces. The system works in tandem with Electronic Stability Control (ESC) to deliver precise handling in challenging winter conditions.
The GLI model further elevates winter performance with its VAQ electronically-controlled limited-slip differential. This advanced system can transfer up to 100 percent of torque to either front wheel, providing remarkable traction when encountering patches of ice or snow. The DCC adaptive damping system continuously adjusts to road conditions, ensuring optimal contact with winter-worn roads.
2- Comprehensive Winter Safety Systems
The IQ.DRIVE system, standard on all trims above Comfortline, provides essential winter safety features. The Front Assist system with Automatic Emergency Braking includes specific calibration for low-traction situations, while the Lane Assist system helps maintain vehicle position even when lane markings are obscured by snow. The Active Blind Spot Monitor proves particularly valuable during reduced visibility conditions common in winter storms.
3- BC-Ready Performance
Under the hood, both available powertrains are optimized for cold-weather operation. The standard 1.5-litre turbocharged engine delivers 158 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque, providing strong low-end response ideal for winter driving. The GLI's 2.0-litre TSI engine, producing 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, offers additional power reserves for confident winter passing and merging.
4- Practical Winter Design
The Jetta's exterior design incorporates several winter-specific features. The remarkably low drag coefficient of 0.26 helps prevent snow buildup, while the active radiator shutter manages airflow for optimal engine temperature in cold conditions. The LED lighting system, including the new light bar design, provides excellent visibility during BC's short winter days and long nights.
5- Superior Winter Visibility
The 2025 Jetta incorporates several features that enhance visibility during BC's challenging winter conditions. The new LED headlight system with available light bar provides exceptional illumination during winter's early sunsets and storms. Inside, the heated windshield washer nozzles ensure clear visibility by preventing freeze-ups, while the Climatronic Touch system includes advanced defrosting capabilities that quickly clear winter precipitation from all windows. The standard rearview camera includes a washer system to maintain clear rear visibility even in slushy conditions.
