2008 Jetta wagon to get 2.0L 140 Diesel

Woot! From Car and Driver.

The Jetta SportWagen will go on sale in Europe this summer as the Golf Variant, and come to the U.S. this fall. Here in the New World, our SportWagens will be powered by the 2.5-liter inline-five familiar from the Rabbit, now up from 150 horsepower to 170. A few months later, the 200-hp 2.0-liter turbo four from the GTI will be available. In January of 2008, the SportWagen will also be available with the 140-hp 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder we told you about back in February. Pricing should start around $18,000 and reach into the mid- to high-20s as option boxes are checked.
