VW Jetta vs Subaru Impreza: Fuel-Sipping Performance

Nothing quite beats having an engine that’s easy on fuel, and both the 2020 VW Jetta and Impreza are great for this. The Subaru Impreza is designed with a standard 2.0L SUBARU BOXER® 4-cylinder engine. This powertrain is designed to give a maximum fuel economy of an EPA-estimated 28 city/36 highway MPG.

Looking over to the VW Jetta, though, we have a standard 1.4L inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine. This compact engine provides an impressive EPA-estimated 30 city/40 highway MPG.¹ You’ll have a much easier time saving fuel on your daily commute when you’re cruising around in one of these vehicles.

VW Jetta vs Subaru Impreza: Available Style Options

If you want to really make your vehicle stand out when you’re out on your morning commute, you want to have plenty of style options. The Subaru Impreza provides drivers with seven color options to choose from, including colors like Ocean Blue Pearl and Crimson Red Pearl.

Want to have even more choices when it comes to choosing the color of your vehicle? The VW Jetta offers eight available color options, including an available Habanero Orange Metallic option. With so many options available to you, you’ll enjoy a much greater connection to your car that you just won’t find if you choose to drive the Subaru Impreza.

Once you get inside the cabin of the VW Jetta, you’ll be treated to available 10-color customizable interior ambient lighting. This technology will really let you easily add a personal touch to your vehicle, all while adding a much more stylish look to your cabin at night. Unfortunately, you won’t find this extra technology aboard the Subaru Impreza.

Comfortable Seating Technology

Drivers should feel nice and cozy in their daily rides; you spend so much time in your car, after all. That’s why both the VW Jetta and the Subaru Impreza feature 6-way power-adjustable driver’s seats. You’ll be able to customize your seating position in six ways, so you get that perfect view from behind the wheel.

If you want more technology, though, you’re going to want to choose the VW Jetta. This sedan provides us with available ventilated front seats, which will keep your back cool and dry even during those balmy months.

VW Jetta vs Subaru Impreza: Advanced Convenience Features

If you’re looking to have an easy time when you’re getting around town, the VW Jetta and Subaru Impreza both deliver some solid convenience features. Both of these vehicles offer Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) technology, which lets your vehicle automatically manage your speed, so you can keep a safe distance behind traffic.

In order to give you an even more comfortable driving experience in the rain, the VW Jetta offers an available set of rain-sensing windshield wipers. This technology will activate your windshield wipers when it rains, so your wipers match the speed of the rain every time.

To top it off, the VW Jetta is designed to make it easier to interact with it while driving with the help of the Volkswagen Digital Cockpit. This large driver display behind your steering wheel will display important information for you, so you can easily get navigation information while on the road.

2020 VW Jetta vs Subaru Impreza: The Verdict

There’s nothing like having a steadfast sedan to keep you going on your morning commute, and the VW Jetta and the Subaru Impreza are fantastic options. If you want a bit more fuel efficiency and technology, though, the option for you may be the VW Jetta. This sedan is an ideal choice for commuters in the Avon, Indianapolis, and Plainfield, Indiana, areas.
