Used 2020 Volkswagen Jetta Sedan Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2020 Volkswagen Jetta is a small sedan offered in five trim levels. The S is fairly bare-bones, but it does include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. The SE adds a suite of safety systems that are optional on the S, plus a few quality-of-life improvements. The R-Line is the sport-themed model, while the SEL and the SEL Premium add more luxury-oriented features.
Which Jetta trim does Edmunds recommend?
If you want a Jetta with a little extra flair, the R-Line is the way to go. The R-Line includes the midlevel SE's additional features, plus upgrades unique to this trim such as black exterior trim and an electronic locking differential that helps enhance traction when accelerating quickly. If comfort is a priority, the SEL should do nicely, with its larger touchscreen, digital instrument panel, upgraded audio and additional driving aids.
