The 2014 Volkswagen Jetta is a quintessential compact car, offering a compelling blend of performance, fuel efficiency, and interior comfort. Known for its European driving dynamics, it comes available in S, SE, SEL, TDI, GLI, and Hybrid trims, all powered by a series of engines that range from a sturdy 115-hp, 2.0-liter four-cylinder to a punchy 210-hp, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder for the GLI model. The TDI version showcases a 140-hp, turbo-diesel engine that’s recognized for its remarkable fuel economy and torque. All engines are mated to either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission, with FWD as standard. Infotainment is taken care of by a rather basic system, but a 6.5-inch touchscreen is available. Key safety features include six airbags, stability control, and optional rearview camera for optimizing driver's vision.
