Those saddened by the fact that most hybrids are no longer eligible for tax credits will be happy to learn that the 2009 VW Jetta TDI will receive a $1,300 Federal Income Tax Credit.
Both the Jetta TDI sedan and SportWagen are eligible for the credit. The EPA estimates that the Jetta TDI will have a fuel economy rating of 29/40. According to third-part certifier, AMCI, the Jetta will actually achieve a rating of 38/44mpg in real world conditions.
The 2009 Jetta TDI starts at $21,990. VW is hoping to sell 15,000 of the fuel-efficient models in 2009 and 30,000 in 2010. Both models will be available in all 50 states starting in August.
