2022 Volkswagen Jetta vs. 2022 Hyundai Elantra: The Jetta Boosts Features, Power and Value
December 10 2021,
The 2022 Jetta delivers many updates, including a new powertrain, outstanding tech and sporty styling that suits many tastes. The advanced turbocharged engine boosts performance while achieving a fuel consumption rating that is nothing short of outstanding. The Jetta GLI adds an even more powerful engine, and both models have a price tag that makes German engineering even more accessible.
Standard and other features get an upgrade in the 2022 Jetta. Each trim includes heated front seats and steering wheel, new seats and contrast stitching throughout the interior. Buyers can opt for exciting equipment such as ventilated seats, ambient lighting, Rail 2 Rail power sunroof, and much more.
The 2022 Volkswagen Jetta steps ahead in power and delivers efficiency
Each Jetta includes the new EA211 powertrain, consisting of a 1.5L turbocharged engine that outputs 158 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. Because of the advanced design, the Jetta also has an outstanding best fuel economy of 7.7/5.7 L/100 km (city/highway). The Elantra, with its 2.0L engine that outputs 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque, has practically the same efficiency rating as the Jetta with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Jetta outputs more for less.
The 2022 Jetta GLI makes a statement
Both the Jetta and Elantra also offer models with even more turbo power. The Jetta GLI unleashes a turbo 2.0L that reaches 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. This pushes the compact design to new driving levels, making the Jetta GLI an exhilarating experience. Each model has a standard six-speed transmission for amazing input, and you can opt for a quick-shifting seven-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic.
The Elantra N Line is the brand's competitor to the GLI, but it doesn't quite match up. With 27 less horsepower and over 60 lb-ft less of torque, you will not be in the same class as the GLI. There is also the Elantra N, but this model sacrifices so much comfort for the few horses it adds over the GLI that it’s not worth being considered.
