When you look at the basics, the VW Jetta and Toyota Camry are quite similar. Both models seat five and have front-wheel drive as standard. The VW Jetta has a better warranty with basic coverage for four years of 50K miles over the three-year/36K-mile warranty of the Camry. Both models include several extra features with the base trim, such as a blind spot system and adaptive cruise control. Remote engine start is optional for the VW and Toyota sedans. Toyota provides four trim levels for the Camry while Volkswagen added a fifth model for the Jetta. The GLI Autobahn comes loaded with numerous options to enhance the journey with comfort and convenience.
Both the Jetta and Camry feature a four-cylinder engine for the base model. Volkswagen’s engine is turbocharged, resulting in more torque. This model also features Sport Mode for a more thrilling drive while including start/stop to conserve fuel when idling. LED lights are standard on both cars with power heated mirrors and daytime running lights. Adaptive steering is standard on the higher trims of the VW Jetta.
Toyota and Volkswagen equip their sedans with modern technology to enhance the driving experience. Both models include an infotainment even on the base trim. However, the VW Jetta has a slightly larger touchscreen at eight inches. You can use Bluetooth to stream audio on either model while in-car Wi-Fi allows you to get online in both the Jetta and Camry. Both sedans are loaded with safety systems even on the entry-level trims. You have brake assist, automatic braking, forward collision warning, and lane keep assist on the two cars.
These two sedans are well-matched when it comes to comfort amenities. At the top trim levels, both models have heated front seats and an eight-way power driver seat. While the Camry makes ventilated front seats an option, the Jetta includes them as standard on the top trim. This sedan also provides three settings for the driver seat memory system, which isn’t available on the Toyota model. The memory system also includes the side mirrors to keep them in the correct place when you drive.
Both sedans have a lot to offer buyers with multiple customization options. Toyota and Volkswagen continue to add to their compact sedan models to appeal to commuters and young families.
