Read moreThree reasons to buy a 2022 Volkswagen Jetta instead of a 2022 Honda Civic
The 2022 Volkswagen Jetta has been completely redesigned this year and returns to the market with more features, impressive value, and the traditional German performance that has dictated its success in years past and earned it a very loyal customer base. The all-new 2022 Volkswagen Jetta has all the tools needed to compete with the most popular compact sedans including the redesigned 2022 Honda Civic.
Here are three reasons to consider a 2022 Volkswagen Jetta instead of a 2022 Honda Civic.
Better performance in the 2022 Volkswagen Jetta
The Volkswagen Jetta has always been known for delivering exceptional performance across the board and the 2022 model is no exception. Offering great handling, remarkable stability and confidence, and the most standard torque in the segment, the 2022 Volkswagen Jetta is the perfect car for anyone who enjoys driving a fun and sporty car.
It is powered out of the gate by a turbocharged 1.5 litre four-cylinder engine that delivers 158 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque which is the same horsepower but a lot more torque than the Civic. The latter offers just 138 pound-feet of torque in its standard engine, and 177 pound-feet of torque in its optional turbocharged engine. This gives the Jetta much more dynamic accelerations and much more impressive passing.
In simple terms, you will have a lot more fun driving the 2022 Volkswagen Jetta and by the way, you can still get it with a manual gearbox unlike the Honda Civic.
More rear space in the Jetta
The 2022 Volkswagen Jetta and the 2022 Honda Civic are among the most spacious sedans you can buy in this segment. That said, the Jetta has a slight advantage when it comes to rear head room and will be more enjoyable for taller rear passengers.
Better value overall for the Volkswagen
Last but not least, the 2022 Volkswagen Jetta starts at $21,595 while the 2022 Honda Civic starts at $24,465. Across the board you will find more value in the Jetta with standard features that include LED headlights, the App-Connect system and heated front seats.
