The Volkswagen Jetta (http://www.knightvw.ca/new-inventory/jetta/) continues to be a best-seller with a total of 3,006 units sold last month.

The Jetta also comes as a turbocharged hybrid, which delivers 170 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque while still providing an estimated 4.9L /100 km on the highway. This provides drivers with plenty of performance without compromising fuel efficiency.

Sales of the Volkswagen Tiguan compact sport utility vehicle also continue to shine, as the new model sold a total of 634 units this past month. In one of the most competitive segments on the market, the Volkswagen Tiguan offers plenty of value. Starting at $24,990, the 2014 Tiguan comes outfitted with a standard 2.0L TSI engine that puts out 200 hp while providing 23.8 cubic feet of versatile cargo space.
