The Jetta felt responsive pulling away from stoplights - Car And Driver

The 2022 Volkswagen Jetta is expected to carry forward the same 2021 model's powertrain - a 1.4L turbocharged inline-4 which makes 147 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. The engine will be paired to a 6-speed manual in its standard configuration with power going to the front wheels only. An 8-speed automatic is available as an option but comes standard on the SEL and SEL Premium trims.

With making just 147 hp, we do not expect to have really good numbers in terms of performance as the Jetta is best suited as a daily driver. The 2022 Jetta is expected to come with no mechanical changes will do 0-60 in 7.6 seconds and the quarter-mile in 16 seconds and will continue to a top speed of 127 mph. There is no difference in timings between the manual and automatic transmission.

The Honda Civic is the most powerful of the above making 158 hp but is slower in the performance tests. Then comes the Volkswagen Jetta, Kia Forte, and Hyundai Elantra, all three making the same amount of power - 147 hp. However, the Jetta makes more torque and comes with better performance.

The 2022 Volkswagen Jetta is expected to come with no mechanical changes from the 2021 model year and is expected to continue to offer the same fuel economy numbers. The 2022 Jetta will give 30 mpg in the city, 41 mpg on the highway, and a combined 34 mpg. With the 8-speed automatic the fuel economy figures reduce by 1 mpg. 

The 2022 Jetta will continue to have a fuel capacity of 13.5-gallons which allows it to have a combined 459 miles. The Hyundai Elantra comes with better fuel economy figures but comes with a smaller 12.4-gallon fuel tank allowing the Jetta to come with a better range. The Kia Forte comes with a larger 14.0-gallon fuel capacity and this gets it better range.

The Jetta cabin is pleasing and ergonomically sound - Kelley Blue Book (KBB)

On the inside, the 2022 Volkswagen is expected to carry a similar and typical Volkswagen interior layout as the 2021 Jetta. However, the interior will see minor design changes and also changes in finishings to offer a more premium feel to the cabin. The interior will feature manually adjustable seats on the base trim with cloth upholstery.

As you go higher up you will see a power-adjustable driver's seat with leatherette and leather upholstery and also heating functions for the front row seats and steering wheel. Dual-zone Climatronic automatic climate control is standard from the SE trim and higher. There is no change in cargo space and the 2022 Jetta will offer 14.1 cu.ft. of cargo space.

The VW Jetta will come with a good amount of space in both rows but the Hyundai Elantra offers more space in the back row and all three offer more cargo space than the Jetta. In terms of infotainment, the 2021 model did get an upgrade to feature the VW's latest MIB3 interface on the SEL and SEL Premium models.

Apart from the SEL and SEL Premium trims which come with an 8.0-inch touchscreen, the other trims come with a 6.5-inch touchscreen. For 2022, we do expect the 8-inch infotainment system as standard we expect it to come with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, voice commands, Bluetooth connectivity, USB ports, and navigation (standard on higher trims). The SEL Premium is expected to continue with an eight-speaker Beats sound system.

The Honda Civic makes more power, but does not offer better performance, nor does it offer better fuel economy. It offers more cargo space while offering the same amount of interior space.
