Power & Performance: Turbocharged Fun or Smooth Hybrid Ride?

The 2025 Volkswagen Jetta boasts a turbocharged 1.5-litre engine producing 158 horsepower, ideal for drivers who enjoy responsive acceleration. For an added boost, the GLI model offers 228 horsepower for those who crave a sportier drive. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, the Jetta balances power and fuel efficiency effortlessly.


On the other side, the 2025 Honda Civic features a 2.0-litre engine generating 150 horsepower. Additionally, the Civic Hybrid offers 200 horsepower, thanks to its electric motor assist. While the Civic may not have the turbocharged flair of the Jetta, it excels in eco-friendly performance, making it perfect for daily commuting with an eye on fuel savings.

2025 Volkswagen Jetta Technology Comparison

Interior Comfort: Modern Tech vs. Minimalist Elegance

Inside the Volkswagen Jetta, the cabin is all about modern tech. With a standard 7.0-inch touchscreen and available 9.0-inch display, you're always connected via wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. The Jetta's interior also features ambient lighting and premium leather seats on higher trims, creating a comfortable space for longer drives.


In contrast, the 2025 Honda Civic offers a more minimalist interior. Its 7.0-inch touchscreen comes standard, but higher trims feature upgrades like the BOSE® sound system. The Civic's straightforward design may appeal to those who prefer functionality over flair, but it doesn't sacrifice comfort with its available leather seats and spacious layout.

Fuel Efficiency Battle: Turbo vs. Hybrid

The Volkswagen Jetta offers a combined fuel efficiency of 7.4 L/100 km, making it a strong contender for those who want power without compromising fuel economy. With its turbocharged engine, you can enjoy spirited driving while still saving on gas.


The Honda Civic Hybrid, however, shines with a combined fuel efficiency of 4.9 L/100 km. This makes it the go-to for eco-conscious drivers seeking long-term fuel savings. The hybrid option offers a smooth, quiet ride that's perfect for city driving or longer commutes.
