2009 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen - Models and Pricing

Volkswagen offers the Jetta SportWagen in four different trim levels. The base S model wagon comes equipped with a 2.5-liter, inline-five cylinder engine mated to a standard manual or optional automatic transmission. VW estimates the starting price for this model to be about $19,000, which includes steel wheels; a rear wiper; a single CD/MP3 audio system with eight speakers; air conditioning; an eight-way adjustable driver's seat, including manual height, lumbar and power recline; a six-way manual passenger seat with adjustable lumbar; a tilt and telescoping steering wheel; a 60/40 split folding rear seat; and automatic door locks. Safety equipment consists of antilock disc brakes with force distribution, stability and traction control systems, as well as front-side and side-curtain airbags. Options available for the S include a Cold Weather Package with heated seats and washer nozzles, rear-side airbags, an iPod adapter, alloy wheels, and a panoramic sunroof.

The second model equipped with the five-cylinder engine, the SE, adds to the standard features on the S by including alloy wheels, chrome exterior trim, leatherette seats and door panel inserts, a six-disc CD/MP3 audio system with 10 speakers, Sirius Satellite Radio, and a center armrest with two cupholders and a pass-through. In addition to the options available on the SportWagen S, buyers of the SE can select a DVD navigation system with a multi-function trip computer. The SE's estimated starting price is $21,400.

The SEL 2.0T model steps up the performance with a powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engine joined to a manual or automatic transmission. In addition to the standard features of the S and SE, the SEL delivers heated mirrors with memory, heated windshield washer nozzles, larger alloy wheels, automatic dual-zone climate control, a multi-function trip computer, a 115-volt outlet in the rear seat area, a 12-way power adjustable driver's seat with four-way adjustable lumbar and three-position memory, an eight-way manually-adjustable passenger seat including height and adjustable headrests and power recline, and leather upholstery and interior trim. VW estimates the starting price will come in around $26,400. Options for the top model amount to rear-side airbags, panoramic sunroof and DVD navigation system.

Finally, there's the Jetta SportWagen TDI which marks VW's effort to bring a diesel-powered passenger car back to all 50 states. Features on the diesel mirror those of the SE, though the Cold Weather Package, 115-volt outlet and premium audio system are all standard. For options, it's the multi-function trip computer, rear side airbags, panoramic sunroof, alloy wheels, and DVD navigation. VW hasn't announced pricing for the TDI.
