2024 Kia Forte vs. 2024 Volkswagen Jetta

Meet the 2024 Kia Forte and See How it Compares to the Competition

Currently in its third generation, the Kia Forte is a longtime favorite for Vermont drivers who are looking for something that has a lot of features, a great warranty, and that turns heads everywhere it goes. A popular and sought-after style at Preston's Kia, the 2024 Kia Forte is available for your test drive today, and we're excited to tell you more about it and set you up with a test drive.

The 2024 Kia Forte is a comfortable sedan with traditional styling, including four doors, two rows of seats for five people, and a spacious trunk that locks for secure cargo storage. It comes in a range of trims levels and powertrain options, allowing our customers many opportunities to personalize the car and make it their own.

While the 2024 Kia Forte is a great car for drivers throughout the area, we also know that it's not the only sedan in its class that may be vying for your attention. For example, the Volkswagen Jetta could be competing for you. To demonstrate what makes our car special, and why we think you should go for the Kia, we've compared these two side by side.

2024 Kia Forte vs. 2024 Volkswagen Jetta

Both the Kia Forte and the Volkswagen Jetta are compact sedans that seat five. But while they may appear to have a lot in common on the surface, a deeper dive reveals a few areas where the Forte comes out ahead.

• Advanced safety features. While both compact cars come equipped with modern safety features and technology, the Kia Forte has a few that are standard for every trim, but that are not standard equipment for the Volkswagen Jetta trims. For example, our Kia Forte offers Bethel, VT and Randolph, VT drivers standard lane departure warning and a standard driver attention monitor. Neither of these amenities are standard for the Jetta.
• Warranty coverage. With one of the best manufacturer warranties in the automotive industry backing it, the Kia Forte offers better peace of mind than the Volkswagen Jetta. Kia has your back for every new Kia Forte, with a new warranty that's good for 5 years or 60,000 miles for basic coverage, 10 years or 100,000 miles for drivetrain coverage, and roadside assistance for 5 years or 60,000 miles. Meanwhile, a new VW Jetta offers just 4 years or 50,000 miles for both basic and drivetrain coverage, and roadside assistance for 3 years or 36,000 miles.
• Efficiency. When you want to get as many miles per fill up as possible, the Kia Forte is the way to go. Our customers in the greater Montpelier, VT area find they can easily get back and forth from Burlington, VT with the Kia Forte compared to the VW Jetta, thanks to a higher fuel economy and range.

Meanwhile, base model Jetta cars average 27 mpg city, 35 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined.
