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

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −12.87% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −16.34%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 32% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 34.2%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $26,956 CAD. The Volkswagen Jetta offers roomy everyday practicality and a big trunk, which helps explain its broad appeal.

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. An eight-speed automatic transmission transfers that power to the front wheels.
• Tech: With the 2025 Jetta, Volkswagen equips every trim level with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system and an 8-inch digital instrumentation panel, while the Comfortline upgrades to wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, wireless smartphone charging, and a voice recognition system.
• Safety: Volkswagen equips every 2025 Jetta with IQ.Drive, which is the name for its collection of driver assistance systems and safety features.

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.
