In 2009, the Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen body style makes its debut and offers the diesel-fueled TDI engine as one of its options. Sporty styling and ample versatility make a fine team in the Jetta SportWagen with its roomy, five-passenger interior featuring a fold-flat front passenger seat, multiple storage compartments and up to 66.9 cubic feet of cargo space. The base VW Jetta SportWagen is propelled by a 2.5L five-cylinder engine generating 170 hp and 177 lb-ft of torque, paired to a standard five-speed manual transmission, while a six-speed automatic with Tiptronic auto-manual capability is optional. The TDI trim level features a 2.0L turbo-diesel engine that cranks out 140 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque with the six-speed manual or DSG transmission. EPA fuel economy is estimated to be 21 mpg city/29 mpg hwy and 24 mpg in combined driving for the base trim, while the TDI trim with a manual transmission gets 30/41/34 mpg. Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen safety equipment includes antilock disc brakes, stability and traction control, and a full array of airbags.
