In a world obsessed with SUVs, does a traditional compact sedan still deserve a place in your driveway?
In this episode of TechMobility Topics, I get behind the wheel of the 2026 Volkswagen Jetta to see whether this longtime compact sedan favorite still delivers the practicality, driving enjoyment, and value that once made it a compelling choice.
I examine the Jetta's performance, driving modes, interior comfort, technology, and everyday usability. From its driving characteristics to trunk space and passenger accommodations, I explore what Volkswagen gets right—and some surprising compromises that could leave potential buyers scratching their heads.
With compact SUVs dominating American showrooms, the Jetta faces a difficult challenge: convincing buyers that a sedan can still offer everything they need without the extra size and expense of an SUV.
Is the 2026 Volkswagen Jetta an overlooked bargain—or has the market simply moved on?
