Thrill Meets Turbo

Sleek silhouettes. Low-to-the-ground builds. The Volkswagen Jetta and the Honda Civic were built to excite. Sculpted for speed, these sport-tuned sedans appeal to performance-driven drivers like you, and it all begins under the hood. But when it comes to turbocharged thrills, only one comes out ahead.

That extra power with the VW Jetta? It isn’t just a stat—it’s your secret weapon for quicker getaways and smoother merges. Both models bring the thrill, but the VW Jetta takes the early lead.

Command Corners Like Never Before

You like being in control, especially on the curves. With available paddle shifters in the Volkswagen Jetta and the Honda Civic, you can take charge when you want and kick back when you don’t. But the VW Jetta steps up, providing a touch of confidence with its standard leather-wrapped steering wheel—something that’s only an available option with the Civic.

But here’s where the VW Jetta turns tighter: its available XDS® Cross Differential System. It’s like having your personal pit crew. Sensors built into each tire constantly read the road and your performance output, automatically adjusting power to the inside wheel when turning to reduce understeering and keep you grounded through sharp curves.

This exclusive VW Jetta feature is a game-changer for someone like you who loves owning the road. It helps you stay planted, sharp, and confidently in command, giving you more reasons to take the scenic route.

Style That Speaks for You

You’ve never been one to blend in. Luckily, the Volkswagen Jetta and the Honda Civic make sure heads turn in your direction. Each boasts a sporty profile and muscular edges, but the VW Jetta and its refreshingly spirited design keep others looking.

An available integrated front light bar ensures you’re seen day or night, a bold addition that the Civic simply can't match.

Inside, the Volkswagen Jetta continues to evolve with you. Thanks to an available 10-color ambient lighting system, you can change the cabin’s mood with a single tap. Dynamic red for morning motivation? Calming purple for that late-night wind down? Your ride, your rules. The Civic may offer modern lines and clean design, but its available ambient lighting is limited to just one red hue. Meanwhile, the VW Jetta evolves with your vibe every mile.

Designed to Delight Inside & Out

The cabin is where your day happens, so it had better deliver. Enjoy the ideal temperature inside the Volkswagen Jetta, thanks to standard and optional climate-controlled features, including:

• Climatronic® Touch dual-zone automatic climate control
• Heated front/rear seats
• Heated steering wheel

These multi-zone climate features ensure comfort from all angles, while available design details—including stainless steel pedal caps, a black headliner, and plant-based CloudTex upholstery —create a space that’s distinctly yours.

The Honda Civic has some thoughtful touches, but it falls short without the heated rear seats that elevate the VW Jetta to an unparalleled level.

Tech That Moves at Your Speed

Whether you’re jamming out or jumping on a call, you’re always on. Your car should be too. The Volkswagen Jetta and the Honda Civic each let you sync your digital life to your daily commute thanks to standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity. These digital features let you:

• Pick the curated playlist that matches your mood.
• Launch compatible apps to order coffee on your way to work.
• Stream episodes of your favorite podcast, ensuring you never miss a beat in the true crime world.

Despite this similarity, only the VW Jetta makes this experience bolder with a standard 8-inch display that gives you room to touch, tap, and swipe. The Civic comes close but settles for a standard 7-inch screen.

If tech matters—and let’s be real, it does—the VW Jetta brings more to your drive.

Smarter Support, Mile After Mile

Daily confidence starts with the right copilot. No matter where the day takes you, the Volkswagen Jetta and the Honda Civic help keep you safe thanks to standard IQ.Drive® and Honda Sensing® driver-assist suites.

Lane Assist. Front Assist. Adaptive Cruise Control. It’s all here. But only the VW Jetta features Travel Assist, a semi-autonomous system that merges lane centering and speed adjustments for hands-on ease during highway commutes. Think of it as a smarter kind of support when life gets hectic—or when you just want to breathe a little easier behind the wheel.

The Civic’s tech is impressive, but when it comes to that next-level ease during long drives or stop-and-go commutes, the VW Jetta brings a more complete copilot experience.
