Should I buy a used Volkswagen Jetta now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 30.3% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 31.7%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $26,937 CAD. The Volkswagen Jetta offers roomy, comfortable everyday transportation with a big trunk and a practical, easy-to-live-with character.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: One thing that hasn’t changed for 2025 is the Jetta’s turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine. It produces an unimpressive 158 horsepower but compensates with 184 pound-feet of sweet turbocharged torque at a low 1,750 rpm.
• Tech: With the 2025 Jetta, Volkswagen equips every trim level with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system and an 8-inch digital instrumentation panel. Upgrade to the Comfortline’s Sport package or the Highline, and you’ll get a more sophisticated, configurable 10.25-inch Volkswagen Digital Cockpit Pro driver display.
• Safety: Volkswagen equips every 2025 Jetta with IQ.Drive, which is the name for its collection of driver assistance systems and safety features. The standard blind-spot monitoring system includes active collision avoidance, and Emergency Assist can bring the Jetta to a safe stop and activate the hazard lights.
• Starting price: In Canada, Volkswagen offers the 2025 Jetta in Trendline, Comfortline, and Highline trim levels. Prices for the standard Jetta lineup range from $28,481 to $34,881 including the $2,050 destination charge and other fees.

If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
