Two of its top-selling models include the likes of Volkswagen Jetta and the 2020 Subaru Impreza. If you are looking to buy one of them, and confused between the two, the below comparison may help.

Design & Style

The 2020 Jetta has a seating for up to 5 people across the two rows, but the rear seat can accommodate only two adults. There are soft-touch surfaces throughout the cabin, but use of hard plastics make the interior feel less refined. It comes standard with manually adjustable driver’s seat and cloth upholstery. Optional features include heated rear seats and leather upholstery.

On the other hand, the 2020 Subaru Impreza comes standard with cloth upholstery, in addition to  available heated front seats and leather upholstery. You get sufficient support in the front, along with plenty of space on offer. The interior feels refined with plenty of quality materials on offer.

Technology & Safety

Jetta’s technology is characterized by an infotainment system that includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The small touch screen feels less responsive, but the physical controls are nice arranged. Some other key features include 4-speaker stereo, two USB ports and Bluetooth. Rearview camera is the only standard safety feature available in the base model. Other advanced features include forward collision warning, lane keep assist and lane departure warning.

The 2020 Mazda3 comes equipped with a Starlink infotainment system with plenty of standard features, ranging from smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to satellite radio and speaker system. The dashboard has controls with an easy layout, making an easy access for the drivers. The infotainment system is quick to inputs and offers excellent graphics. Speaking of safety, you have features like forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, rearview camera and the Eyesight safety system.

Performance

Performance is one crucial aspect to consider the true worth of a car. For the 2020 Volkswagen Jetta, it comes equipped with 147-HP four-cylinder engine, which fails to provide ample power. It comes mated to a 6-speed manual transmission, but not the best in terms of fuel efficiency.

The 2020 Subaru Impreza comes standard with a four-cylinder engine that moves with enough enthusiasm and alacrity. You get plenty of support at high speeds, and the five-speed manual transmission makes it easy to shift.

The Bottom Line

Overall, the 2020 Jetta fails to outclass the likes of Subaru Impreza in this competitive segment. It may offer the latest technology and a smooth ride, but the interior lacks the posh feeling of many competitors.
