Compare the Volkswagen Jetta and Honda Civic
When you're upgrading to a new sedan, it's important to choose a car with a high level of prestige. The Volkswagen Jetta is a one-of-a-kind compact sedan with the elevated status that many New Jersey drivers seek. Before you unlock a new Volkswagen Jetta from Prestige Volkswagen, you may want to compare the beloved VW sedan to a rival like the Honda Civic. Have confidence in your decision after seeing how the Volkswagen Jetta stacks up against the Honda Civic.
Volkswagen Jetta vs. Honda Civic Performance
Much to the delight of Deptford Township commuters, the Volkswagen Jetta delivers both power and efficiency. New Volkswagen Jetta sedans are powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged TSI® engine that produces 158 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. The Honda Civic lacks turbo power and its four-cylinder has lower performance outputs of 150 horsepower and 133 pound-feet of torque. If you want to be in command of every shift as you cruise through Philadelphia traffic, the Volkswagen Jetta is the sedan for you. The 8-speed automatic transmission features Tiptronic® and Sport Mode. The CVT in the Honda Civic doesn't deliver the same spirited acceleration. Our Volkswagen dealership near Sicklerville also features VW Jetta GLI sedans that offer more impressive turbocharged performance, delivering 228 horsepower.
Safety Features
Every new Volkswagen Jetta sedan is equipped with IQ.DRIVE®. Travel Assist, an Active Blind Spot Monitor, and Adaptive Cruise Control are notable safety features within this suite. Honda Sensing® is standard in the Honda Civic, but you have to splurge on the higher-priced Sport model to get access to Blind Spot Information. The Volkswagen Jetta also provides rain-sensing windshield wipers.
Technology Comparison
The Honda Civic has no counter to the 8-inch VW Digital Cockpit screen seen in the Volkswagen Jetta. You have easy access to your digital co-pilot with a display to view fuel efficiency, speed, and essential vehicle data. New Volkswagen Jetta models feature a floating center touchscreen 8-inch color display. The generous tablet-style screen is larger than the Honda Civic, which has a 7-inch color touchscreen. With a VW Premium Audio system, wireless charging, and Wireless App-Connect®, the Volkswagen Jetta grabs a victory point in technology.
Interior Comfort
Washington Township households want a family car that prioritizes interior comfort. The Volkswagen Jetta delivers by offering exclusive heated outboard rear seats. These complement heated and ventilated front seats, which aren't included on the core Honda Civic models. Find your comfort zone in the VW Jetta by activating Climatronic® Touch dual-zone climate control. Only the hybrid models in the Honda Civic lineup feature dual-zone automatic climate control. The new Volkswagen Jetta has a standard leather-wrapped steering wheel. This interior feature is offered by the Honda Civic but is not standard. New Volkswagen Jetta sedans have a minimalist interior design and offer comfort features to make yourself feel at home. You can even set the mood in your Volkswagen Jetta through 10-color interior ambient lighting, a feature not offered by the competition.
