The car required the development of a new 2.0-litre diesel engine that met the 50 state clean air certification and works without the need for urea injection of the exhaust. Instead the clean Jetta treats the exhaust gases with a revised catalytic converter and particulate filters. Final power figures are 140hp and 240ft-lbs of torque. The particular vehicle caught here was an up-market version complete with an integrated navigation system, premium seats and unique headlights. Hopefully this means that VW’s other TDI cars may be on their way to the US.
