Better engineering for you.

German engineering isn’t just about creating a faster car.
Or a tighter ride. Or even the most fuel-efficient engine.
We’re not merely designing the sleekest silhouette. Or the
roomiest cargo space. Or the most breathtaking sunroof.
And even though we place safety at the top of our list, we’re
not in this solely to get recognition for our success. Or
to break records. Or to add extra safety features just to
be safe. At Volkswagen, we’re about all of these things
happening together, beautifully and precisely, to create
a car that’s actually fun to drive. Because we’re not just
making any car, we’re making your car. That’s the power
of German engineering.

Room for life.

If your life has outgrown your two-seater, but you don’t
want to give up your German engineering, meet the Jetta
SportWagen. Equipped with either a 2.5L in-line five-cylinder
or TDI® Clean Diesel engine, it’s designed to hold everything
you need and German-engineered to help hold you tight
around corners. And the TDI engine packs an impressive
range of up to 609 miles on one tank, thanks to the fuel
economy of 42 hwy mpg.* So if you thought you had to
bid goodbye to performance and style when you added
a backseat and a wagon-sized trunk to your life, think
again. The Jetta SportWagen holds it all underneath one
very stylish hood.

*2011 2.0L TDI Clean Diesel, manual transmission: 30 city/42 highway mpg. EPA estimates. Range based on 42 highway mpg EPA

estimate and a 14.5-gallon tank. Your mileage will vary.

You’d like a car that’s fuel efficient and powerful?
Our German engineers read your mind. The TDI
Clean Diesel engine sips fuel at a wallet-friendly
rate of 42 hwy mpg without sacrificing one bit of
turbocharged performance. It has 140 hp and 236
lbs/ft of torque for exceptional power off the line
and plenty of punch to keep you going. You can
even add our racing-inspired DSG® automatic
transmission to take full advantage of its turbo. So
if you love to drive and particularly enjoy breezing
by filling stations, you and your Jetta SportWagen
will get along famously.

Extra room for all your stuff requires an engine with some extra
oomph. The Jetta SportWagen also offers the choice of a powerful

2.5L, 170-hp, in-line five-cylinder engine to help ensure that you
and your gear get everywhere you want to go. And it comes with
the option of a six-speed automatic transmission, complete with
Sport mode for a little extra kick and Tiptronic® for those times
when you want the thrill of shifting yourself.
