Volkswagen of America has launched one of the world's most efficient automobiles on the market: the new Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid...

It is powered by a high-tech turbo petrol engine (TSI with 110 kW / 150 PS) and a zero-emissions electric motor (20 kW) working in a fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly alliance. Power transmission is managed by one of the most advanced and efficient automatic gearboxes: the 7-speed DSG from Volkswagen. While this hybrid drive enables very impressive driving performance (0-60 mph in less than 9 seconds), the new VW Jetta Hybrid also produces an extremely low (combined) fuel economy value of 45 mpg. This means that the sporty saloon consumes about 20 per cent less fuel than a comparably powered car with a conventional drive system.

At the press of a button, the driver can also choose to drive the new Jetta Hybrid in pure electric mode, and therefore with zero emissions, at speeds of up to 44 mph and over a distance of 1.3 miles (depending on terrain and operating conditions).

Extremely quiet. After the Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid, the Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid is now the second model from Europe's most successful carmaker to have a drive module under the bonnet containing a petrol engine and an electric motor that are paired to attain the lowest possible fuel consumption values and excellent performance in all areas. Consider its comfort: in combination, the refined TSI, a newly designed exhaust system, use of an acoustic windshield, thicker side windows in front and various other measures have resulted in the quietest car Volkswagen has ever offered in this class.
