The 2013 Volkswagen Jetta hybrid SE starts at $27,785, including a $795 destination charge, the automaker said Wednesday. The base Jetta hybrid, which is only available by special order, stickers at $25,790.
A turbocharged, direct-injected 1.4-liter engine mated to an electric motor powers the hybrid, along with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Combined output of the package is 170 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. That's good for a 0-to-60-mph time of nine seconds.
The Jetta hybrid will be the most fuel-efficient car in the company's U.S. lineup, returning an estimated combined fuel economy of 45 mpg. It will also be able to travel at speeds of up to 44 mph on electric power alone, but with a range of only 1.2 miles. Last year's Jetta TDI diesel returned 42 mpg on the highway.
The base model is well equipped with daytime running lights, one-touch power windows, automatic climate control, Bluetooth, auxiliary audio input, multifunction steering wheel and a few other baubles.
