Offering world-class efficiency, spirited performance, and a passenger-friendly atmosphere, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI is a no-compromise diesel alternative to the typical compact family car. And for that reason, it is our Drivers' Choice Best of the Year.
Consumers these days are demanding new cars be clean, green, and efficient. Yet, they don't want to give up comfort and fun-to-drive in their pursuit to be responsible. And, no car lives up to that lofty standard better than our 2009 MotorWeek Drivers' Choice pick as Best of the Year, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI. The Jetta TDI is the first diesel to win MotorWeek's top honor, and the first clean diesel car to be available in all 50 states.
The heart of the Jetta TDI is Volkswagen's latest and most fuel efficient
2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder diesel engine with direct fuel injection. It's
highly effective after-treatment exhaust system requires no additives; so
there's no hassle of filling a separate tank like most other clean diesels to
date. With outstanding Government Fuel Economy rating of 30 city/41 highway, the
Jetta TDI delivers hybrid-like economy without their complexity and battery
concerns.
But that's just the half of it. The Jetta TDI also delivers
plenty of spirited performance. With its 140 horsepower and copious 236
pound-feet of torque, this little sedan takes off like a champ. It handles quick
on a straight line, is nimble and great fun on twisty roads. But the well tuned
chassis also results in a smooth and quiet ride, which goes well with the TDI's
comfortable and extremely well-equipped interior.
The cabin features a simple and clean layout, and ample passenger room. Standards include an 8-way power-adjustable driver seat, and a full compliment of airbags. Plus options like a 6.5 inch inch high-res navigation screen, a 30 GB harddrive, and iPod functionality. The large 16 cubic foot trunk prevents any shortage of cargo space.
Plus, it's affordable with a price tag that also puts many hybrids in the
shadows.

2009 green car of the year - Volkswagen Jetta clean diesel TDI
The winner, just announced at the Los Angeles Auto Show, is the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI. This is the first time that a clean diesel model has been awarded the title Green Car of the Year®.
This is an important time for ?green cars,? even amid some of the most challenging times the auto industry has ever seen. The reasons are clear. In many ways, ?green? cars represent the future of the auto industry and the products that will enable our mobility in the years to come.
The 2009 Jetta TDI breaks new ground in the field of clean diesels, achieving emissions certification in all 50 states without the use of special additives or extraordinary measures. It provides five passenger functionality with welcome levels of power and a satisfying driving experience. Importantly, it also achieves estimated highway fuel economy of 41 mpg with greatly reduced greenhouse gas emissions. That?s a rarified fuel economy number typically achieved by only the most efficient gasoline-electric hybrids. The clean diesel Jetta TDI matches this efficiency with a powerplant that?s more straightforward and affordable, allowing the Jetta TDI an affordable $21,990 price tag.
