Entertainment
No modern-day road trip would be complete without a decent infotainment system. Luckily, the Volkswagen Jetta SE offers SiriusXM, Wireless App-Connect smartphone integration, and wireless charging, so the whole family can stay connected and contribute to the holiday playlist. For those in the front seats, the Volkswagen Jetta SE features a Composition Media touchscreen sound system with an 8-inch color display and voice control, should you need to wrestle back responsibility for the music.
