VW vs. the Competition

2017 Volkswagen Jetta vs. 2016 Honda Civic

The Civic might be the Jetta’s biggest rival in a highly competitive compact car segment. With 31 mpg in combined fuel economy, the Civic puts up a valiant effort. But the 2017 Jetta one-ups it with 32 mpg. In other departments, though, it’s not as close. The Jetta boasts both a spacious trunk and a variety of punchier engine options.

VW vs. VW

2017 Volkswagen Jetta vs. 2017 Volkswagen Passat

This head-to-head isn’t about quality — it’s a matter of preference. Whether you choose the 2017 Jetta or the 2017 Passat, you’ll find a sensible yet vibrant driving experience. If you want efficiency and nimble handling, the Jetta is the compact car for you. But if you want more passenger and storage space, and a heartier engine lineup, opt for the midsize Passat.  

2017 Volkswagen Tiguan vs. 2016 Volkswagen Touareg

This battle is a deadlock if there ever was one. Both the 2016 Touareg and the 2017 Tiguan deliver the comfort and function you require from an SUV. The Tiguan offers better gas mileage and a sportier drive, so it’s your best bet in the crossover market. But with a more robust standard V6 engine and an ample, upscale interior, the Touareg is the move to make if you’re hunting for a midsize luxury SUV.
