Volkswagen’s 2014 Jetta Hybrid has been anticipated since June 2013, and since its November 2013 launch, it is proving to be a fairly fun-to-drive, yet frugal car.

The entire Jetta line was revised in 2013, made more distinct from Golf hatchbacks, and the 2013 Hybrid represents the fifth powertrain option for this sixth-generation model range.

Thus far, sales have climbed modestly. In March, its 451 units sold equaled the number of Honda CR-Z hybrids sold, and it should have room to go higher.

As a front-wheel-drive 2014 Hybrid  Jetta, it retains the family look and road handling capability, but as a hybrid it returns the line’s highest EPA fuel efficiency rating, boasting low-to-zero emissions as well.

Starting at $24,995 for the special-order only entry level model, and ranging through the SE and SEL trim levels, 2014 Volkswagen’s highest Jetta MSRP of $31,180 is commanded for the top-line SEL Premium.

Volkswagen does pack a fair amount in however. The 2014 Jetta Hybrid is the only turbo hybrid in the compact class. It features the only dual-clutch automatic transmission and has a more sophisticated suspension than lesser priced regular Jettas.

All combined, it verges on being a sports sedan when you want it to be, or you can mellow out and experience it as a fuel-efficient car that does well against other hybrids.
