A reliable sedan, such as the Volkswagen Jetta or
Toyota Camry, is a great choice for a safe and fun drive around
Turnersville, Cherry Hill, and Mount Laurel. So, which one of these
stylish sedans is right for you? Prestige Volkswagen helps you decide with this 2019 Volkswagen Jetta vs. Toyota Camry comparison.
2019 Volkswagen Jetta vs Toyota Camry Performance
The
2019 VW Jetta delivers a sporty performance with a 1.4L TSI® 4-cylinder
turbocharged engine. To go with this powertrain, you'll have a choice
between a traditional 6-speed manual transmission or an 8-speed
automatic transmission with Tiptronic® and Sport Mode.
The Tiptronic® features lets you take control of the gears and manually shift without a clutch. This way, no matter which transmission you choose, you'll be able to customize your drive. Another way the VW Jetta lets you personalize your drive is with Driving Mode Selection. You can quickly switch between four modes: Eco, Normal, Sport, and Custom.
The 2019 Toyota Camry isn't as much fun to drive. It runs on a clunky 2.5L 4-cylinder engine and doesn't offer a manual transmission. It only works with an 8-speed automatic transmission. While it does offer different driving modes, you can't customize one like you can in the Volkswagen.
2019 Volkswagen Jetta vs Toyota Camry Safety
Both
the 2019 VW Jetta and the Toyota Camry feature an advanced airbag
system that includes Side Curtain Protection® for both the front and
rear seats. However, the Volkswagen Jetta uses science to keep you safe
during an accident. Its safety cage features front and rear crumple
zones that can direct force away from the cabin during a collision.
Each sedan also offers lots of driver-assistance features to prevent accidents. On top of a standard Rear-View Camera System, you'll have lots of technology there to provide you with more awareness of what's around your car, including:
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Blind Spot Monitor
- Rear Traffic Alert
- Lane Departure Warning
- Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking
The VW Jetta even watches out for you after an accident, too. The standard Intelligent Crash Response System automatically activates your hazard lights, turns off the fuel pump, and unlocks the doors.
The Toyota Camry also has lots of driver-assistance features, but it doesn't have any technology to help you after an accident has already occurred.
2019 Volkswagen Jetta vs Toyota Camry Infotainment System
Inside each sedan, you'll find a user-friendly infotainment system. The 2019 VW Jetta comes with the Volkswagen Car-Net App-Connect system. It lets you sync your smartphone and access your favorite apps with Apple CarPlay™, Android Auto™, and MirrorLink®.
The 2019 Toyota Camry only lets some drivers sync their smartphones. While Apple CarPlay™ is standard, it doesn't offer Android Auto™ or MirrorLink® on any trim levels.
Moving over the driver's seat, the Volkswagen upgrades your instrument cluster to the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit. It features a high-resolution 10-inch screen with a customizable display that can store up to four driver profiles.
The Toyota Camry has a more traditional instrument cluster. While it does have a display screen for alerts, its resolution isn't as high and it can't store any driver profiles.
