2019 Volkswagen Jetta
Longer, wider and taller than its predecessor (and thus roomier inside), the new Jetta also gets a design update, which is more effective than it is drastic and gives it more character. That roomier cabin is more sophisticated as well, and it should do better than the new Kia Forte in setting itself apart from other compact sedans. As well, the 1.4L turbo engine of the 2019 Volkswagen Jetta generates 184 lb-ft of torque, unmatched in the category.
