The Volkswagen Jetta TDI Value Edition is a new feather added to Volkswagen’s cap that with its heated front seats, 6-speaker sound systems and a TDI Clean Diesel engine makes every journey really worth taking. With the price of diesel being way higher than the price of unleaded fuel, Volkswagen has indeed gone a long way to make Jetta TDI Value edition fully power packed to make the people just love it.
With features like a better steering system than most cars in its segment, larger wheels and tyres, cruise control, heated front seats, an iPod connection, satellite radio and even extra stereo speakers and we could keep going, Jetta TDI Value edition makes it an irresistible buy for a lot of people. The Volkswagen Jetta TDI was already loveable (of course the major reason being the fewer fill-ups!), but the new Jetta TDI Value edition has added so many new features and taken it to a new high of being loveable and has made getting a new diesel-powered car a bit easier now!
The prices of the Jetta TDI Value edition start at $21,295 (+ $820 for destination charges) for a six speed manual transmission, while a six speed dual clutch automatic transmission can be added for just another $1,100. And for such a mind-boggling price, a customer gets 140 horsepower, 236 pound-feet of torque and an irresistible 42 miles per gallon on the freeway! The engine in the car is the same that is used across all of Volkswagen’s line-ups. But when most diesel cars ensure that you save on fuel, they don’t promise much on saving money front. With most diesel cars it could take years and years before one could make up for the savings that one makes at the pump. But that is not the case with the Volkswagen Jetta TDI Value edition. The Jetta TDI Value edition is the least expensive diesel car in the U.S., being about $2300 cheaper than the standard Jetta TDI itself. The Jetta TDI Value edition comes with the standard basic features but is power-packed by offering the standard features with a superior premium drivetrain.
The Jetta is good in the city and mind-blowing on the highway, almost touching the fuel-economies of the best and the most efficient of the gas-electric hybrids. The simple economic math on the Value edition is just irresistible and compelling when we compare it with the gas-powered economy cars which would not offer the kind of value for money that the Jetta TDI Value edition does.
Moreover, if we look at the Jetta TDI Value edition with a long term perspective, it holds immense value because of two major reasons – one would be the longevity of the car and the other would be the high resale value that the car holds in the future. The engines generally last for hundreds of thousands of miles.
The Jetta has as it is been one of the most successful cars from the Volkswagen house in the recent years, irrespective of what the critics have said. In 2010, around 74,000 Jettas were sold though critics had condemned it completely. In 2013, 163,000 Jettas were sold. And with the Jetta TDI Value edition added to its kitty, Volkswagen will only boost these numbers. It is indeed a great car, perhaps the best deal one could get at the price point at which it is being offered. The best thing is that Volkswagen has managed to cut costs without compromising on the quality. The interiors may feel a little low-rent and may not compare well with the superior original Jetta, but it’s still worth it.
