4 Reasons to Love the Jetta Hybrid

Jan 18, 2016

The word “hybrid” tends to throw off the average consumer when they’re out shopping for a new car. Thoughts may range from, “Great, it’s environmentally friendly!” to “How do I drive this thing, anyway?” With the new Jetta Hybrid, Volkswagen has given its customers a hybrid to love – from its attractive appearance to its easy-to-drive performance, and everything in between. Here are just a few of the reasons we’re obsessed with the Jetta Hybrid.

Doesn’t Drive Like a Hybrid

It’s true that there is a bit of a learning curve when it comes to switching from a standard vehicle to a hybrid. But the Jetta Hybrid does all it can to make that switch as easy as possible. The power gauge, which takes the place of the traditional tachometer, makes it easy to control your acceleration and to make the most of the car’s performance abilities.

According to Volkswagen, the Jetta Hybrid can go from zero to 60 MPH in less than nine seconds, so its got some get-up-and-go to it thanks to its 150-horsepower, turbocharged gas engine. The gas engine works in conjunction with a 27-horsepower electric motor.

Great Gas Mileage

The Jetta Hybrid gets better gas mileage than most other sedans on the market. It gets an EPA-estimated 45 MPG combined city and highway driving – 42 MPG in the city and 48 MPG on the highway. With fuel economy like that, you can bet you’ll be saving money at the pump. And who couldn’t use a little extra cash in hand?

A Safe Family Vehicle

When you’re looking for a family vehicle, safety is a top priority. You don’t want to think about the worst happening, but if the worst does, indeed, happen, you need to know that you’ll be protected. The 2015 Jetta Hybrid was put through the rigorous IIHS crash test, and it got good ratings almost across the board – the highest rating possible from IIHS. The NHTSA crash-test ratings were equally positive: four and five stars for all tests run. Its impressive list of safety and security features includes airbags, child seat anchors, engine immobilizer, turn signal mirrors, adaptive headlights, and much more.

Sleek and Spacious

The Jetta has always been known as a stylish car, and the 2015 Jetta Hybrid is no exception. The dashboard is clean and uncluttered, a throwback to the days when the focus was on performance instead of on being flashy. The interior is spacious, especially the back seat, which makes for a very comfortable ride for passengers. All-in-all, driver and passenger alike will enjoy the ride inside of a Jetta Hybrid.

When you’re ready to make the switch to a hybrid vehicle, check out the VW Jetta Hybrid. When it comes to this car’s performance, the drive is smooth and easy, and you’ll save money at the pump. The car features the sleek and stylish look that Volkswagen is known for as well as the high standards of safety that has made VW a top consumer pick for years.
