The 2009 Jetta TDI is on the EPA’s list of most fuel-efficient vehicles and is eligible for a $1,300 federal tax credit as an advanced lean-burn technology vehicle. The 2009 Jetta comes in a 2.0L TDI Sedan model as well as a 2.0L TDI SportWagen; both of these models qualify for the tax credit. If you are shopping for a new, greener, vehicle – consider purchasing a 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI.

“We’re proud to be the first manufacturer to offer a clean diesel vehicle for sale in all fifty states,” said Stefan Jacoby, CEO/President, Volkswagen of America, Inc. “We believe our Jetta TDI’s truly offer a no compromise alternative fuel driving experience, that provides the customer the best of both worlds—excellent fuel efficiency combined with a dynamic driving experience.” (Source: Volkswagen Media Site)

The Jetta TDI has an EPA fuel efficiency rating of 30 in the city and 41 on the highway. However, Volkswagen hired a third party (AMCI) to test the Jetta TDI in real-world conditions and the results were significantly higher. The company was able to obtain a 38 mpg average in city driving and 44 mpg on the highway.

The Volkswagen Jetta TDI sedan has an MSRP starting at $21,990. The Jetta TDI SportWagen will start at $23590.
