The $89 a month it takes to lease a Jetta at some U.S. dealerships is about as low as the price of using an iPhone on some cell phone plans. It’s also a sign of how Volkswagen AG is grasping to turn around its fortunes in the U.S.

The bargain deal -- available after a down payment of about $2,500 on the $17,325 Jetta -- runs over a three-year term. Other recent offers ranged from as low as $39 a month in San Jose, Calif., to $99 in Boston. VW’s reliance on leasing is designed to lock in repeat customers for 2017, when the German automaker can show them an improved product line. VW, with an aging lineup that lacks a midsize SUV, seeks to more than double U.S. sales to meet an 800,000-vehicle goal by 2018.
