2019 Toyota Prius vs. 2019 Volkswagen Jetta

Apart from interior quality and driving enjoyment, there are plenty of features that should be considered, if you are looking to buy an ideal car. Speaking of which, let us compare the 2019 Volkswagen Jetta and the 2019 Toyota Prius. Both are top-of-the-line models with great features on offer.

Design & Style

Volkswagen Jetta is claims to be a 5-seater model, however it can only accommodate 4 people comfortably. The front seats do have ample space, but we are not totally convinced with the back seats. The Cabin is above average, but nothing that exceeds your expectation. The interior is a mix of quality materials and soft-touch surfaces.

The 2019 Toyota Prius, on the other hand, features high quality materials and has ample room in the cabin to accommodate up to 5 people. Taller passengers will have no complaints, when it comes to legroom. The amount of support and stability offered by this vehicle is unmatched. The high quality interior adds to the overall appeal.

Technology & Safety

Standard tech features in the 2019 Volkswagen Jetta include the MIB II infotainment interface with VW Car-Net App-Connect, Bluetooth, USB port and four speakers. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay is available in base model. The infotainment system is easy to use, while the dash controls are smartly positioned. But they can be a hard reach for someone driving. Rearview camera is the only standard safety feature in the base model, while other features come at an extra cost. 

The intuitive infotainment system is the key highlight of the 2019 Toyota Prius, which has plenty of tech features to offer. You can use the system conveniently, even when you are driving. Some key highlights include voice recognition, Bluetooth, USB ports and smartphone connectivity. Standard driver assistance features include automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise controls, rearview camera and more.

Performance

The 2019 Volkswagen Jetta comes with four-cylinder 147-HP engine, which is certainly not an impressive number to look at. There are plenty of rivals in the market providing more power and acceleration. This small sedan fails to stand out among competitors like Toyota Prius, which is not only gifted with a powerful powertrain, but also offers higher fuel efficiency than most vehicles of its class.

The Bottom Line

The 2019 Toyota Prius has come into the market with some solid features, and it does well to stand tall in this competitive segment. On the other hand, Jetta finishes in the bottom half of the rankings, due to its underpowered base engine. In all probability, Prius is way ahead.
