What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Jetta?

The 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Volkswagen New Jetta is 12.39 seconds. Below is an introduction to related information about the Jetta: Transmission: For the 1.5L model, this is a normal performance level, which is basically on par with its competitors. The Volkswagen New Jetta 1.5L uses a 6AT transmission, so it doesn't have the protection program like the DSG transmission, which imposes excessive restrictions on the engine speed during startup. Starting RPM: 2000rpm is a relatively suitable starting RPM. Due to the engine's limited power reserve, there is almost no wheel spin, and the overall momentum is very stable. Slow acceleration is a characteristic of the Jetta, mainly caused by the vehicle's heavy weight relative to its relatively small power output.
Speaking of the Jetta's 0-100 km/h acceleration, I have to share my personal experience. I drove my friend's 2019 Jetta 1.5L manual transmission, with official data showing a 0-100 km/h acceleration of about 10.8 seconds, and actual testing also yielded 10-11 seconds. Why is it so steady? Mainly because its small-displacement engine is designed for fuel efficiency, with relatively gentle power output and not very responsive throttle at the start, but it's sufficient for daily city driving. The acceleration feels linear, and you need to press the throttle deeper in advance when overtaking. As an entry-level family sedan, acceleration isn't its strong suit—the focus is on durability and low fuel consumption. Maintenance is simple, with fuel consumption as low as 6L/100km, making it suitable for commuting. If you have the budget for an upgrade, adding a sport mode might be better. Overall, it's not a sports car, but this acceleration time is economical and practical.
