A cut above the compact car competition, the 2024 Volkswagen Jetta allows Old Saybrook commuters to jet off to their Coastal Connecticut or New England destination. Car buyers from East Haven, CT to Middletown, CT, can visit Volkswagen of Old Saybrook after discovering how the new VW Jetta surges past compact sedan competitors like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla.
The Volkswagen Jetta, Honda Civic, and Toyota Corolla have similarly-sized engines with excellent fuel efficiency. The basic setup for the VW Jetta is a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder that makes 158 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. The Jetta earns an outstanding EPA rating of 30 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway with the automatic transmission.
While the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla compete with similar fuel efficiency numbers, the VW Jetta is fun to drive with a standard manual transmission - something you won't find in either competitor. The Honda Civic bolts its standard non-turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder to an automatic transmission and is front-wheel drive only. The Toyota Corolla offers a non-turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), denying drivers an engaging driving experience.
Each sedan features Daytime Running Lights and LED headlights. The Volkswagen Jetta keeps passengers more comfortable through exclusive Climatronic® technology for dual-zone automatic climate control. SofTex™-trimmed seating is offered for the Toyota Corolla, while the Honda Civic and Volkswagen Jetta bring more comfort to Guilford, CT drivers through leather seating options. Thanks to a multifunction heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel, the Volkswagen Jetta is more driver-centric than the competition. The Volkswagen Jetta has the second largest trunk of these three sedans, offering over 14 cubic feet of trunk space, compared to 13 cubic feet in the Toyota Corolla.
The Honda Civic offers the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ to counter full-screen navigation in the Volkswagen Jetta, but Honda's car has a smaller touchscreen measuring seven inches. The VW Jetta's standard eight-inch display matches the size of the Toyota Corolla's standard infotainment system. These two sedans offer wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™ integration, unavailable on the Honda Civic. Neither competitor can match the Volkswagen Jetta's standard VW Digital Cockpit feature that displays driving information in high resolution. Honda Sensing® and Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0 suites compete with the VW Jetta's IQ.Drive®, which features exclusive safety features like Travel Assist. However, the IQ.Drive advanced system is now standard on every model.
Starting at $21,345, the new Volkswagen Jetta has a lower starting price than competing compact cars like the Toyota Corolla ($23,145) and Honda Civic ($25,045). The Volkswagen Jetta is better equipped and provides an exciting sedan option for Old Saybrook commuters, who can soak in more premium styling.
