Volkswagen of America, Inc. today announced pricing for their eagerly anticipated Jetta TDI sedan and SportWagen starting at $21,990 and $23,590, respectively. Fuel efficiency, performance and convenience all come standard with the 50-state compliant Jetta sedan and SportWagen TDI, which meet the most stringent emissions standards in California and the world. Both models will be available this August.
The EPA announced Jetta TDI's true fuel efficiency at 29mpg City and 40mpg Highway which are the only figures that can be advertised, but clearly the Germans were less than pleased or accepting of this result. VW then brought in a third party certifier AMCI who later confirmed a much more respectable 38mpg City and 44mpg Highway.
Volkswagen of America, Inc. recently announced Electronic Stability Program (ESP) as standard equipment on all its 2009 vehicles. As a result, Volkswagen is one of the only original equipment manufacturers to offer an electronic stability control system on their entire product line � ahead of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration�s (NHTSA) deadline requiring vehicles in the 2012 model year to include stability control systems. Volkswagen�s ESP technology works in conjunction with anti-lock brakes and helps reduce loss of control and rollovers to avoid crashes. NHTSA predicts nearly 10,000 lives could be saved each year if automakers included stability systems as standard equipment.
