Volkswagen doesn’t seem to be able to decide what it wants to call it’s station wagons. The Passat stationwagon is called the Passat Variant, while this Jetta stationwagon, essentially also a Golf stationwagon, is called the Jetta SportWagen.
It will be offered with either a 2.5 liter normally aspirated 5-cylinder putting out 170 horsepower, a 2.0 Turbo FSI with 200 horsepower, as well as a 2.0 liter turbodiesel engine. More photos after the jump.

At lease new design for the rear lamp.. but the rear view fron the picture not attrative for me..

By just looking at the rear, I would have mistaken it for a SAAB.
I very much prefer the last Jetta Wagon. Its square , compact and purposeful and comes with a good 1.9TDI. Having driven them before, the only real complaint is the lack of AWD for going up ski resorts.
Wagon’s calling card are big load spaces, big square rear opening to swallow big loads. Newer ones that try too look good somehow miss the main points. Case in point the Alfa 156 sportwagon, V40/V50 wagon, SAAB 93 sportcombi…good as they may look.
The perfect wagon ended with the Volvo 850/v70 wagons.

Looks pretty bland for Volkswagen’s standards, especially for one with “Sport” in it’s name :p

Golf GTi for those who need spaces. Weird is nothing, people in europe just buy stationwagons. Practical
