2022 Volkswagen Jetta vs. 2022 Hyundai Elantra: German Engineering Wins Again

2022 Volkswagen Jetta vs. 2022 Hyundai Elantra: German Engineering Wins Again

The redesigned 2022 Jetta is practical, powerful, fun to drive and stylish. It offers a perfect blend of German craftsmanship and practicality in a technologically advanced package that always makes heads turn. Both the 2022 Jetta and Jetta GLI also deliver advanced turbocharged performance that is both powerful and efficient.

Here, we compare the 2022 Volkswagen Jetta with the 2022 Hyundai Elantra.

The 2022 Volkswagen Jetta is all about power and efficiency

Under the hood of the Jetta, you will find the new and improved four-cylinder 1.5L turbocharged engine with an output of 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. This engine features technological advancements that enable it to deploy outstanding fuel economy, achieving a rating of 7.7 L/100 km in the city and 5.7 L/100 km on the highway with the 8-speed automatic transmission.

While the four-cylinder, 2.0 L Elantra paired with a less sporty Continuously Variable Transmission delivers similar fuel consumption ratings, the Jetta's output is much greater with more horsepower and over 50 lb-ft of additional torque.

When you want more performance, the 2022 Jetta GLI moves up to a turbocharged 2.0-liter with an output of 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Each GLI features a standard six-speed manual transmission, but you can upgrade to a seven-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission that delivers ultimate precision.

The Elantra N Line is equipped with a 1.6L turbocharged engine that produces 201 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft. of torque. This much lower than the GLI’s output. The Elantra also has an N model, which outputs a bit more power, but sacrifices comfort and costs a lot more than the Jetta.  

A more refined interior with the 2022 Volkswagen Jetta

German craftsmanship, style and engineering carry over inside the Jetta, which favours rich and refined textures as well as upscale materials over the cheaper-looking Elantra interior. The Jetta offers owners an exceptional array of features and options, like the I.Q Drive, Car-Net and the BeatsAudio premium sound system featuring 8 speakers and a bass-pumping subwoofer tuned to perfection.

The 2022 Volkswagen Jetta beats the Hyundai Elantra on all fronts. Come in today for more information on this unique sedan. You can shop for your car online with us. Our representatives are waiting for your call and can answer all your questions.
