The 2025 Volkswagen Jetta and the 2025 Toyota Corolla are two of the most popular compact sedans in Canada. Both offer value, reliability, and everyday comfort for commutes across Ontario and Quebec.

2025 Toyota Corolla

Power That Moves You Every Day

The 2025 Jetta uses a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine that makes 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. This power is delivered smoothly while keeping fuel use low at about 6.9 L/100 km combined, making long drives from Cornwall to Ottawa or Montreal efficient. In contrast, the 2025 Corolla carries a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with 169 horsepower but only 151 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy is similar at about 6.7 L/100 km combined, yet the lower torque makes highway passing less confident. On the other hand, torque helps with real-world acceleration, especially on hills and on-ramps, so the Jetta feels stronger and easier to drive every day.

Space That Fits Canadian Life

Inside, the Jetta offers 399 litres of trunk space with the rear seats up, giving plenty of room for hockey bags or a weekend's worth of camping gear. Five passengers sit comfortably, and the cabin uses high-quality cloth or available leather seating surfaces that feel more upscale. In comparison, the Corolla carries 371 litres of trunk space and also seats five, yet the tighter opening and smaller capacity make loading bulkier items harder. On the other hand, our customers tell us the Jetta simply feels roomier and easier to live with, especially for families or anyone travelling around Eastern Ontario.

Technology That Feels Modern

The 2025 Jetta features a standard 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto plus available wireless charging. Upgraded models add a 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro display and premium audio with up to eight speakers. Heated front seats are standard in Canada, and ventilated seats plus a heated steering wheel are available for year-round comfort. In contrast, the 2025 Corolla also offers an 8.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto but requires a wired connection, and wireless charging is only available on upper trims. Speaker count tops out at six. On the other hand, the Jetta's tech simply feels newer and more convenient, and the digital cockpit display gives it a premium edge in this class.

Confidence Built In

Both cars include a full suite of driver-assist technologies. In comparison, the Jetta offers advanced features such as Travel Assist and Emergency Assist on higher trims. These combine lane centring with adaptive cruise control for easier long-distance drives. On the other hand, Corolla has Toyota Safety Sense with lane departure and adaptive cruise but lacks the same integrated long-trip support. For anyone who drives between Cornwall, Ottawa, and Montreal often, the Jetta's driver-assist features make highway time less tiring and more secure.
