Volkswagen Jetta Horsepower by Year

The Volkswagen Jetta’s catalog horsepower ranges from 90 to 210 hp across the model years covered here. The figures summarize the listed engine output for each year and configuration; they are not a single rating that applies to every Jetta.

Horsepower varies by year and engine, so the range reflects differences among the catalog entries rather than a change shared by every version. Use the year and trim information in the table to identify the applicable listing, and avoid comparing figures without accounting for the engine or configuration shown.

If your specific Jetta’s horsepower is not listed, or you need to verify its exact rating, confirm it in the owner’s manual or with the vehicle’s documentation.

Catalog horsepower and torque by year.

The largest stored change occurs between 2018 and 2019, when horsepower decreases.
