Volkswagen JETTA

The all-new 2011 Jetta has been completely overhauled, inside and out. Its new wheelbase and exterior length are significantly bigger than its predecessor - resulting in superior performance, more space and greater comfort. At 182.2 inches long, 57.2 inches tall and 70 inches wide, it is more than 2.9 inches longer than previous Jettas.

Four engines will be available in the U.S. and Canada, including a 2.0-liter turbodiesel direct injection (TDI) Clean Diesel (140hp) featuring common rail injection with 236 lbs-ft. of torque (320 Newton-meters). The engine runs as quietly as a gasoline engine, but yields the torque of a sports car achieving 0-60 mph in 8.7 seconds. Additional engines include the 2.0 (115hp), 2.5 (170hp), and as of 2011, the 2.0 TSI (200hp).

The Jetta SportWagen has always appealed to drivers seeking German engineering in a versatile, stylish, and fun-to-drive package. The fuel-sipping 2011 Jetta TDI SportWagen model once again features the critically acclaimed 2.0-L TDI clean diesel engine that has placed clean diesel, as one of the most efficient alternative fuel readily available in all 50 states. Those who choose to outfit the 2011 SportWagen with the 2.0L four-cylinder TDI clean diesel engine are rewarded with a thoroughly advanced workhorse that is dynamic enough for treks through the city, as well as long highway stints. Featuring 140 horsepower at 4,000 rpm and an impressive 236 lbs.-ft. of torque available between 1,750 and 2,500 rpm, the 2.0L is an efficient option for drivers that also have a penchant for performance.
