It's not a one-off. My A220, even with the 4MATIC, it’s quite efficient. It's got a really well-tuned 2.0L turbo engine, and a lot of it comes down to the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (7G-DCT) keeping the RPMs low at highway speeds. I also utilize the ECO drive mode quite a bit. What kind of Jetta do you have? Sometimes even small differences in engine tuning or transmission can make a big difference.
Welp, the EPA rates the A220 4MATIC @ 24 MPG city / 34 hwy (combined average 28 MPG), so it may be that yer little German fuel computer is lying to you :\
I mean hypermilers are able to outduel the already stringent EPA testers, but not by double
It may even be that you had just reset the mileage computer after filling up, and the true consumption has not yet set in
