2008 Golf Variant (Jetta Wagon)

Volkswagen has unveiled the 2008 Golf Variant -- a wagon version of its popular Golf hatchback. Expected to be sold in America as the next Jetta Wagon, the new estate will make its debut at the Geneva Motor Show.





Over a foot longer than the Golf/Rabbit hatch, the wagon will offer 690 liters of storage with five passengers. Initially, it will be offered with a 1.4-liter 140 horsepower TFSI engine, or a 105 or 140 horsepower diesel powerplant.

Specific details about the U.S. version are expected closer to its launch at the New York Auto show in April.
