The Jetta has a 158-horsepower turbocharged engine. This means it's quick and fun to drive. You'll love how it feels on the road. This powertrain makes it very fun to drive and comes standard.

Technology

The Jetta has a great infotainment system. You can listen to music and stay connected thanks to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Plus, the eight-inch VW touchscreen dash display lets you easily control your media. The Civic, on the other hand, only has a 7-inch display for your media.
