2020 VW Jetta vs Toyota Corolla | Lewisville, TX
If you are shopping for a new sedan, there are a lot of models on the market to choose from. While the Toyota Corolla is popular, there is another option that could be an even better fit for you: the 2020 Volkswagen Jetta. Here is a quick comparison to show you what makes the Jetta so great.
Stronger standard performance
All Jetta models come standard with a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers 147 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. The standard engine in the Corolla is a 1.8-liter four-cylinder yielding only 139 horsepower and 126 lb-ft of torque. That’s a substantial difference in torque, meaning the Jetta doesn’t lag when it accelerates like the Corolla does.
Fuel economy
One important factor in choosing a small sedan is its fuel economy. The Jetta delivers an EPA-estimated 40 mpg on the highway, which is better than the fuel economy you get with the standard engine in the Corolla.* The 2021 Toyota car averages 38 mpg highway. You can get more power and slightly better fuel economy when you choose the Jetta.
Interior space
Another major point to consider when buying a sedan is the interior passenger space. The Jetta has a larger cabin with 94.7 cubic feet of passenger volume, compared to just 88.6 cubic feet in the Corolla.
The most significant difference is in the back seat. The Jetta comes with 54 inches of rear shoulder room and 37.4 inches of second-row leg room. The Corolla only offers 51.7 inches and 34.8 inches, respectively.
Trunk space
The Jetta gives you more room to store your cargo with a larger trunk than the Corolla has. The Jetta comes with 14.1 cubic feet of trunk space, while the Corolla only has 13.1 cubic feet.
Sporty options
If you want to enjoy driving every day, the Jetta is a great way to do that. Not only does it come with more standard power, but the R-Line model adds sporty exterior details and an electronic differential lock for improved handling.
