Volkswagen Jetta
The compact sedan is equipped with a turbocharged, 1.4-litre four-cylinder engine, providing it with one of the lowest fuel consumptions in its class. And that’s with either the standard manual transmission or the optional automatic. The more upscale trim levels rely on an eight-inch touchscreen, while a power sunroof, ventilated front seats and a BeatsAudio sound system are also available. Let’s not forget the sporty Jetta GLI and its 228-horsepower turbocharged engine.
