Volkswagen of America has announced that its new Jetta TDI sedan and sport wagon are both eligible for a $1,300 tax credit. Although most vehicle tax credits are reserved for hybrid vehicles, the IRS approved the TDI Jettas for the Advanced Lean Burn Technology Motor Vehicle income tax credit.
“The $1,300 tax credit provides an even greater value to the upcoming Jetta TDI sedan and SportWagen,” said Mark Barnes, COO, Volkswagen of America, Inc. “Our clean diesel vehicles offer consumers the fuel efficiency that they’re looking for while providing power, utility, performance, safety and excellent value.”
The TDI Jettas are EPA rated at 29/40 mpg city/highway, but VW claims real world results of 38 mpg city and 44 mpg highway. Both models will be available this August.
