Summer Car Shopping: The Best VW Sedans to Buy This Year

New VW Sedans for Sale That Are Perfect for Summer Cruising in Houston

VW sedans are renowned for their precision handling, fantastic fuel economy, advanced feature packages, and low cost of ownership. They are also deceptively speedy, a welcome attribute for the driver who appreciates a little zip during their daily commute.

So, what new sedan deals should drivers look for in the 2023 model lineup of VW vehicles? True to form, Volkswagen has released a comprehensive lineup of VW sedans meant to suit any driving style and budget.

After we showcase a few of the most in-demand VW sedans, we’ll provide some info on where to test drive them and how to arrange new sedan financing.

2023 VW Jetta

Ever since its American debut in 1979, the Volkswagen Jetta has amassed a reputation of being sleek and sophisticated while remaining affordable. In fact, the Jetta offers the lowest cost of ownership out of any vehicle in the German automaker’s lineup.

The starting MSRP for the Jetta’s entry level trim is just $20,655. Additionally, it provides an estimated fuel economy of 29 miles per gallon in the city and 42 miles per gallon on the highway. This VW sedan knows how to stretch a buck at the pumps. Further driving down cost of ownership, the new VW Jetta includes two years of scheduled maintenance as part of the Carefree Coverage warranty package.

However, don’t let the Jetta’s attractive price point lead you to believe it’s not up to par in the performance department. As a Consumer Reports recommended vehicle, drivers can rest assured that the 2023 VW Jetta is a roadworthy companion up for any challenge.

2023 VW Jetta GLI

There’s plenty of love about the standard Jetta, but for those who need a VW sedan with some extra muscle under the hood – the 2023 VW Jetta GLI is where it’s at. Think of the Jetta GLI as the standard Jetta’s speedier, more sophisticated sibling.

Outfitted with a four-cylinder 2.0L turbo 6-speed manual transmission, the Jetta GLI delivers 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft. Not a fan of driving a stick shift? No worries. The Jetta is also available with 2.0L turbo 7-speed DSG automatic transmission. The GLI eats hairpin turns for breakfast and thrives on the highway.

At a starting MSRP of $31,585, the VW Jetta GLI compromises on cost of ownership for the sake of raw power, precision handling, and a list of premium features longer than a CVS receipt. As the highest trim level in the Jetta family, the GLI has every bell and whistle in terms of infotainment and convenience. Plus, it’s fully loaded with all the same safety and intelligent driver assistance features as the standard Jetta.

2023 VW Arteon

What we love about the 2023 VW Arteon is that it delivers on all the hallmarks of a “status symbol” vehicle while packing plenty of muscle behind its elegant exterior. Drivers can’t help but feel like an executive when seated within the Arteon’s luxurious interior that’s rich with tasteful details and comfort features.

However, the Arteon is far more than eye candy. Outfitted with a four-cylinder 2.0 TSI 7-speed DSG engine with Tiptronic and Autohold, the Arteon delivers 300 horsepower and 295 lb-ft. of torque. It can also go from 0-60 mph in an estimated 4.6 seconds, easily making it the top-performing new VW sedan for sale.

With a starting MSRP of $43,010, the VW Arteon is priced competitively when compared to its luxury vehicle counterparts at BMW and Mercedes. Drivers can finally get the fashion-forward sedan they’ve always wanted for a reasonable monthly payment.
