The 2021 VW Jetta is a fearless and popular sedan sporting a slick aesthetic that beautifully complements the interior, and is available at Riverhead Bay Volkswagen. And yet, the Honda Civic wants to compete, so we compared the Jetta and Civic for you.
Price, Performance, Fuel Efficiency
The VW Jetta has an affordable MSRP of $18,995, a savings of more than $2,000 compared to the $21,250 MSRP on the Civic.
A 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine powers the Jetta, delivering 147-horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. In contrast, the Civic gets power from a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces slightly more horsepower, but the Jetta pushes through with 40 pound-feet more torque and a front-wheel-drive powertrain.
Fuel economy is comparable with both sedans, earning a combined fuel economy rating of 33 mpg. Still, a larger fuel tank means the Jetta can travel up to 50-miles farther before needing to refuel.
Seating and Cargo
The Jetta and Civic are four-door five-passenger sedans with equivalent dimensions, inside and out, offering great head and legroom, a comparable wheelbase, and front and rear track width. Fabric seats are standard in the Jetta and Civic and optional leather upholstery, and both feature split-folding rear seats.
Safety and Technology
You'll find a similar range of safety components, but the Jetta has some distinct advantages. The Jetta has Cross-Traffic Alert and available Blind Spot Monitoring, not offered in the Honda Civic.
Infotainment technology is similar, but the Jetta takes the lead with more standard features like smartphone integration and Wi-Fi hotspot.
How Does the Volkswagen Jetta Measure Up?
Overall, the VW Jetta is a winner offering more infotainment and connectivity technology, performance, and energy in every drive.
