Does the VW Jetta or Ford Fusion Get Better Gas Mileage?

When it comes to selecting your next sedan, you’ll want a ride well-equipped to deal with all the demands of your fast-paced lifestyle, and this begins with an efficient engine under the hood. For your next car, you’ll need one to take you miles on the open road before needing to stop and refuel, making weekday commutes and thrilling road trips even more enjoyable.

Fortunately, both the 2019 VW Jetta and 2020 Ford Fusion are equipped with Start-Stop Technology to conserve fuel by seamlessly cutting engine power when idling in rush hour traffic or at a stop light. The result in the VW Jetta is an EPA-estimated 30 city/40 highway MPG with the standard 1.4L inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine.¹ On the other hand, you may find yourself making more stops in the Fusion since its available engine has a fuel economy of an EPA-estimated 23 city/34 highway MPG.

Premium Interior Comforts

Such an impressive fuel efficiency will have you behind the wheel of your sedan longer, so you’ll be happy to have the refined amenities found in the VW Jetta and Fusion. During the day, let some sunshine in through the available panoramic sunroof and bathe your cabin in natural light. You’ll have an enhanced view at night as well, thanks to available customizable interior ambient lighting, illuminating the interior of your car.

These vehicles are ultra-comfortable, too with available ventilated leather-trimmed front seats to cool you down quickly after an afternoon in the sun. But, while both cars offer available heated front seats to keep you cozy year-round, the 2019 VW Jetta also has heated rear outboard seats available. Without this amenity in the 2020 Ford Fusion your friends in the back seat will be left out in the cold.

Volkswagen vs Ford Technology

Nothing is more exciting than discovering the latest technology in your new car, and the 2019 VW Jetta and 2020 Ford Fusion have a lot to offer. These sedans seamlessly fuse your smartphone with your vehicle for a more enhanced drive with customizable infotainment settings along with access to your podcast library and curated playlists.

Taking this integration to the next level are companion apps such as the Volkswagen Car-Net® mobile app in the VW Jetta. It provides you with notifications when your sunroof has been left open and the weather forecast calls for rain, or if your car is unlocked, even allowing you to lock it remotely for the utmost safety and security. When you’re parking in a busy lot, like at the mall, this app even saves your parking location so you can easily return to your car when you’re finished shopping.

The Fusion also has a companion smartphone app that allows you to remotely access your sedan, but it’s not as functional and comprehensive as that in the VW Jetta.
