2017 Subaru Impreza vs. Volkswagen Jetta: Design Comparison

The 2017 Subaru Impreza has been redesigned for greater interior comfort and it shows, especially when head-to-head against the Jetta. Available as either a sedan or a hatchback, the 2017 Impreza offers a host of up-to-date features and room for up to 5. The Jetta is only available as a sedan and, while it too claims to have room for 5, the measurements bear out that the Impreza is roomier. In fact, the 2017 Impreza beats the VW Jetta in front head room, front leg room, front shoulder room, rear head room and rear shoulder room.

2017 Subaru Impreza vs. Volkswagen Jetta: Performance Facts

At the base trim level of both the 2017 Impreza and the Jetta, you'll find 4-cylinder engines under the hood paired with manual transmissions. Fuel economy is comparable with this configuration but add the optional CVT automatic to the Impreza and it handily beats the Jetta in MPG, even when the Jetta is equipped with an automatic. The Jetta offers a larger engine at upper trim levels but does not offer all-wheel drive, a feature that comes standard on all 2017 Impreza models.

2017 Subaru Impreza vs. Volkswagen Jetta: Safety Information

Between these two compacts, you'll enjoy similar standard safety features such as multiple airbags, traction control, a rearview camera, antilock brakes and more. Emergency telematics are available as an option in both vehicles as well as driver assistance technology depending on trim level. Like we said earlier, every Impreza comes with the stability of all-wheel drive, a feature that you won't find in any 2017 Jetta. In addition, even though both cars did well in IIHS and NHTSA testing, a closer look reveals that the Impreza scored 5 stars in every NHTSA category while the Jetta earned only 4 stars in critical tests such as frontal crash and rollover protection.
