Why it stands out
The 2016 Volkswagen Jetta distinguishes itself in the compact sedan segment with its impressive blend of performance, efficiency, and practicality. The introduction of a refreshed 1.4-liter turbocharged engine considerably enhances its power while providing better fuel economy, achieving up to 39 mpg on the highway. This new powertrain makes the Jetta a competitive alternative to other popular compact sedans such as the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. Besides performance, the Jetta boasts a spacious interior with class-leading trunk capacity of 15.7 cubic feet, accompanied by supportive seating—qualities that make it a comfortable ride for both city driving and longer trips. Safety has also been a focus, with upgrades including advanced features like adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitoring, further solidifying its reputation for reliability. While it may not have the flashiest interior, it offers solid build quality and a clean design that appeals to many buyers.
