Investing in a four-door sedan, such as the Volkswagen Jetta, offers a range of benefits for drivers seeking a well-rounded and practical vehicle. Sedans are renowned for their comfortable and efficient design, providing a smooth and enjoyable driving experience. With ample seating for passengers and a spacious trunk, these cars excel at accommodating both people and cargo, making them ideal for daily commuting, family outings, or road trips. Additionally, four-door sedans often boast excellent fuel efficiency, helping drivers save on gas costs while minimizing their environmental impact. Modern sedans are equipped with advanced safety features and cutting-edge technology, enhancing both convenience and security on the road. Whether you prioritize reliability, affordability, or a blend of both, a four-door sedan like the Jetta can meet the needs of diverse drivers, offering a well-balanced package of comfort, performance, and practicality.

The Jetta offers standard heated side mirrors while you'll have to pay extra and jump trim levels on the Corolla to get this feature. Both sedans offer an available power panoramic moonroof.
The 2024 Jetta wins handily over the 2024 Corolla when it comes to interior comfort. Both sedans seat 5 comfortably with comparable passenger volume and trunk space but while both models offer standard automatic climate control, only the Jetta delivers available Air Care Climatronic® 2-zone climate control. Heated front seats are available on both the Jetta and the Corolla but only the Jetta brings available heated rear outboard seats and ventilated front seats to the table. The Corolla offers available leather-trimmed seating surfaces while you can get leather seating surfaces as standard fare on higher trim levels of the Jetta. Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ capability are standard fare on both sedans while Bluetooth® audio streaming is standard only on the Jetta.
Volkswagen and Toyota have been known for their performance for decades and the 2024 Jetta and 2024 Corolla have kept that ball rolling. The new Jetta offers a potent 1.5-liter turbo engine that generates a solid 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque while the Corolla packs a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder under the hood and makes 169 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. The Jetta is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission while an 8-speed automatic is available. A dynamic-shift CVT automatic is standard fare on the Corolla.
