Not all sedans are the same. If you’re looking for a lineup of cookie-cutter cars, you’re in the wrong place. Aside from sharing a couple of core elements like style, comfort, and safety, Volkswagen sedans separate themselves individually through their dimensions, among other things. After all, a car is only as valuable as the people you can bring inside it and the good times you can plot, plan, and eventually make come to life. Learn more about how many travel bags and travel companions you can include on your next mad dash from the daily slog.
As you’ll notice, the two Jetta models have pretty much identical measurements, as the increased power under the hood of the Volkswagen Jetta GLI doesn’t force it to sacrifice room for passengers or their belongings. Think of the Jetta GLI as a souped-up hot rod form of the “normal” Jetta.
The two models to really compare and contrast are the Volkswagen Passat and Volkswagen Arteon. Consider the passenger volume and cargo volume between the Arteon, a Volkswagen full-size sedan, and the Passat, a Volkswagen midsize sedan, when thinking about whether you want more room to move or space for suitcases, golf clubs, blankets, beach towels, and the like.
Jetta | Jetta GLI | Passat | Arteon | |
Cargo Capacity (Trunk): | 14.1 cu. ft. | 14.1 cu. ft. | 15.9 cu. ft. | 27.2 cu. ft. |
Passenger Volume: | 94.7 cu ft | 94.7 cu ft | 102.2 cu ft | 96.5 cu ft |
Front Headroom: | 38.5 in | 38.5 in | 37.4 in | 37.7 in |
Front Legroom: | 41.1 in | 41.1 in | 42.4 in | 41.2 in |
Rear Headroom: | 37.2 in | 37.2 in | 37.8 in | 37 in |
Rear Legroom: | 37.4 in | 37.4 in | 39.1 in | 40.2 in |
VW hatchback models have their own designation and are not a part of the sedan lineup. If you’re looking for more all-terrain capabilities or have driving demands that span far and wide, consider adding a hatchback model to your menu of prospective new car options. The Volkswagen Golf GTI is for those who crave a very capable compact car, while the Golf R is a thriller that stands on top of the models among our VW lease deals for performance.
Hatchbacks tend to have boxier silhouettes than lengthier sedans, and sedans often provide trunk space that is slightly less than most hatchback models. When you think of a classic car that everyday Americans drive, a sedan is what you’re probably picturing. Hatchbacks are an alteration of that classic composition, offering a more dense design that has a larger, SUV-like cargo space. Sedans, however, offer a lower-slung ride and can have more rear-seat legroom in exchange.
VW sedans are an outstanding choice for drivers who want to get the most out of their new cars. They deliver on all of the fronts what you expect from a car that will prove useful all the time. Sedans can fit into that last street parking spot by the fire hydrant that SUVs and trucks wouldn’t dream of, often have excellent fuel efficiency statistics, and run like clockwork. They may not haul your boat to the lake or prove too noteworthy on the construction site, but these cars can definitely conquer a to-do list.
Need a car that presents you properly when you pull up at the workplace but can also be a carpool-worthy member of the pickup line? Volkswagen sedans have you covered. These cars are excellent picks for those who need a car durable enough for weekend fun but also one that you won’t have to worry about having to maintain too frequently in the midst of your schedule.
However, should you need to get some work done on your sedan, the makeover may take less time and be easier to complete than with a souped-up truck or sports car. Volkswagen sedan models are easy to find parts for, and technicians are familiar with the numerous Volkswagen cars that have come in the years past. If you roll in with a VW sedan that needs a checkup, they’ll have everything on hand to get your car on the mend and back to 100% in no time.
If you want to get behind the wheel of a Volkswagen sedan but aren’t sure how to begin, reach out to your local VW dealer and get the ball rolling with one of our ultra-knowledgeable Volkswagen car experts. They’ll answer all of your questions about how local customers, just like you, are able to take home the sedan of their dreams. They know everything about our purchase process, new vehicle warranties, and much more. Be sure to ask about our current VW lease deals when you arrive.
If you have a particular question related to financial details, our team is more than happy to explain our VW finance programs. It’s our pleasure to make sure you have all the information you need before you take the next step toward getting your own amazing Volkswagen sedan.
If you’re still intrigued, we can’t blame you. Here are some questions we hear from eager drivers who are determined to figure out if purchasing or leasing a Volkswagen sedan is the next move they want to make.

They are a high-performance duo that offers drivers more fun and function when they hit the road.

The VW Arteon has standard 4MOTION all-wheel drive to make the best use of its thrilling 300-horsepower performance punch.
