Where the 2.5L 5-cyl sits in the Jetta engine lineup
Every engine family this model was sold with, ordered by size. The bar spans the model years it was fitted; the price is what cars carrying it ask today. Older engines look cheaper because the cars are older — the only fair comparison is an engine whose years overlap this one's.

Which Jetta years got a 2.5L 5-cyl engine
Every model year this engine was fitted to, newest first. The bar is how much of the family's VIN volume sits in that year — long bars are the years this engine was everywhere.
VIN counts come from our decode of the model's build patterns, not from live listings. A year link opens the full Jetta report for that year — every engine of the model, not just this one.

The 2.5L 5-cyl Jetta: common questions
Which Jetta years have the 2.5L 5-cyl?
2006–2013, without a break — 8 model years in our VIN decode, across 77 factory configurations and 108,440 VINs.
What does a 2.5L 5-cyl Jetta cost?
$5,995 is the typical asking price across the 657 cars with this engine on sale today. The year-by-year ladder above splits that by model year — the spread between the oldest and newest year is far wider than the spread between engines.
Is the 2.5L 5-cyl turbocharged?
Yes — every configuration in this family decodes as turbocharged.
What is the engine code, and does it matter?
TDI — the code the VIN decodes to on the configurations on this page. It matters when you order parts or read a service history: the same displacement badge on another model can be a different code with different outputs.
