2023 Volkswagen Jetta Sport

The 2023 Jetta is Volkswagen's compact sedan, slotting below the Passat and facing rivals like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. The Jetta's steering is precise and its ride is composed, making it genuinely enjoyable on a twisty road. The cabin is roomy for the class, with a spacious back seat and a large trunk that swallows luggage easily. Standard IQ.DRIVE safety tech includes adaptive cruise control and lane keeping, with available digital gauges and a touchscreen. The Sport gives you the base S's powertrain with sharper looks and a blacked-out grille, skipping the SE's sunroof and leatherette to keep the price down. The 1.5L I4 makes 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, driving the front wheels through a six-speed manual that makes the most of the torque band for easy around-town acceleration.
