Jetta vs Passat: Which Versatile VW Sedan is Best for You?

With a high-quality lineup of versatile sedans, Volkswagen is the easy choice for people in the market for a 4-door. So which Volkswagen sedan do you choose: the compact Jetta or the midsize Passat? We’ve laid out some of the key differences between the two, so you can figure out which model is right for you. Once you decide you can check out both the new Volkswagen Passat and the new Volkswagen Jetta for sale at Street Toyota in Amarillo, Texas. 2018 Volkswagen Jetta vs. 2018 Volkswagen Passat: Find Your Next Sedan Cabin Space The main difference between these models is size. As the larger of the vehicles, the 2018 Passat has more passenger space than the Jetta at 102 cu. ft. The Jetta’s cabin isn’t much smaller, measuring in at 94.1 cu. ft. Both vehicles offer plenty of room for front- and rear-row passengers to stretch out. The Passat’s larger size makes it better suited for larger families and carpoolers. Trunk Space Although it is the smaller sedan, the Jetta provides only marginally less trunk space. The Jetta boasts an impressive 15.7 cu. ft. of cargo space and the Passat offers 15.9 cu. ft. Both sedans also feature 60/40 folding rear seats, which let you expand the trunk’s capacity. Fuel Efficiency If you’re looking to save at the pump, the 2018 Volkswagen Jetta may be the better match for you. The Jetta offers up to 40 mpg on the highway. However, with up to 36 mpg on the highway, the Passat is no gas guzzler. Performance While both sedans offer impressive lineups of turbocharged engines, the Passat takes the edge when it comes to performance. The Passat’s available 210-horsepower 3.6L V6 engine is the most powerful choice between both cars. Pricing The Passat’s larger size comes with a slightly higher price tag. At the base trim level, the Jetta’s starting price is lower than the Passat’s. Which VW Sedan is Right for You? Which model you choose will ultimately depend on your budget and priorities. If you’re dealing with a slightly smaller budget, looking for better fuel efficiency, or don’t need the extra passenger space, the 2018 Volkswagen Jetta is an excellent pick. If you frequently drive with passengers or want V6 power, you should opt for the 2018 Volkswagen Passat. Still not sure which car you want? Contact Street Volkswagen at (806) 350-8999 to learn more about both models. You can also see VW’s sedans in action at our Amarillo, Texas, showroom.

Volkswagen Atlas vs. Volkswagen Tiguan: A Side-By-Side Comparison

SUVs come in a range of sizes. While some people prefer the bigger and bulkier designs, others enjoy SUVs that are smaller in stature and fit within the “crossover” category of vehicles. The Volkswagen Atlas and Volkswagen Tiguan are perfect examples of this kind of diversity. Let’s see how the VW Atlas compares to the VW Tiguan. The 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan The Tiguan provides drivers with an SUV experience inside the cabin but a more sedan-like experience on the road. The Tiguan is shorter, lighter, and smaller than the Atlas overall, and this makes for a nimble and agile drive. You can enjoy navigating the Tiguan around tight city streets, competing for parking spaces, and tucking it into the garage. With 184 horsepower under the hood, the Tiguan offers plenty of pop without being overbearing. The Tiguan is also easy to navigate at the purchasing desk, with a lower starting price than that of the Atlas. Inside, the Tiguan displays an impressive array of technology for a vehicle of its price point. Just some of these features include a 6.5” color touchscreen display, a rearview camera system, Bluetooth® technology, and Volkswagen’s Car-Net® App Connect. Not surprisingly, the 2018 Nissan Tiguan was named the “ Best Compact SUV of 2017” by Cars.com. Choose the Tiguan if: You like your SUVs with everything they need but nothing they don’t. The 2018 Volkswagen Atlas Simply put, the Volkswagen Atlas is just a little more SUV than its Tiguan counterpart. The Atlas brings a longer, taller, wider, and heavier body that more closely resembles a classic SUV design capable of dominating the road. That extra bulk translates into more space on the inside. An astounding 153.7 cu. ft. of passenger volume and 96.8 cu. ft. of maximum cargo volume allows up to seven people and a countless number of items to be stowed away comfortably in the Atlas. Adding to those capabilities is the fact that the Atlas ramps up 235 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. This strength – combined with the Atlas’ larger tires and 5,000-lb. towing capacity – allows drivers to power up hills, take on challenging terrain, and tow trailers with ease. The 2018 Volkswagen Atlas was named one of WardsAuto’s “ 10 Best User Experiences for Smart, Safe Connected Vehicles” along with a 2017 Top Safety Pick rating from the IIHS. Choose the Atlas if: You’re ready to take your SUV driving experience to the passing lane.
