Volkswagen Jetta weight

Volkswagen Jetta curb weight affects the fuel efficiency, handling, and overall driving experience. A heavier Jetta may have a more stable ride and handle better in adverse weather conditions, but it may also require more fuel and have slower acceleration.

On the other hand, a lighter Volkswagen Jetta may boast of better MPG and quicker acceleration, though it may also have reduced stability and less control on the road.

The lightest Volkswagen Jetta was produced in 2014 with a weight of 2804 lbs. And the heaviest model came off the production line in 2010 with 3292 lbs pounds in curb weight.
