Volkswagen Jetta
The compact Volkswagen Jetta has undergone several modifications for 2016. Its basic engine, an archaic 2.0-litre 4-cylinder, has been replaced by a new turbocharged 1.4-litre that generates 150 horsepower and 185 lb.-ft. of torque. Those looking for more power can opt for the 1.8-litre (170 horsepower) or even the sporty GLI and its 210-horsepower 2.0-litre. A hybrid version is also offered.
