When you’re on a shopping excursion for your new compact car, you’ll encounter many different options, but three vehicles may emerge as frontrunners: the 2020 Volkswagen Jetta, the Honda Civic, and the Kia Forte. While all these vehicles offer the sportiness, maneuverability, and spaciousness of a compact sedan, there are also several differences that may affect your buying experience around Plainfield, Indianapolis, and Avon, Indiana.
Here at Andy Mohr Volkswagen, we want you to have all the facts before you make your decision, so we’ve drawn up this helpful outline to assist in your shopping. We’ve put all three of these vehicles side by side, so you can see which of the cars best meets your needs.

Volkswagen vs Honda vs Kia: Safety
All these vehicles are fairly evenly matched when it comes to driver assist features, given that they offer several of these features:
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Lane Departure Warning
- Lane Assist
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- Blind Spot Monitoring
However, only the Volkswagen Jetta offers additional peace of mind with two additional safety features. Of course, none of us want a collision to happen, but sometimes they do. The 2020 VW Jetta offers:
- Automatic Post-Collision Braking System
- Intelligent Crash Response System
Technology Options
Most new vehicles come equipped with smartphone capabilities like Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, but the VW Jetta interior features take your smartphone to the next level with VW Car-Net®. This innovative system offers a lot of cool features, such as:
- Remote Commands
- Family Guardian Alerts
- DriveView
- Parking Info
Additionally, the VW Jetta offers 10-color ambient interior lighting that can make your vehicle a bit more stylish or more serene. While a similar feature is found aboard the Kia Forte, you won’t find it at all in the Honda Civic. Change up the way your car looks, dependent on your mood, the time of year, or simply keep it your favorite color all year long.
