VW released info on the 2010 sportwagen TDI. Jetta sportwagen in the US, Golf wagon in Canada. Golf Variant in the rest of the world.

I've added the official pics to http://myturbodiesel.com/1000q_how_to/a5/09_10_TDIdifferences.htm

As I suspected, the wagon's changes are cosmetic interior and exterior, not the full mk6 platform.

Thanks for updating this info. Great article BTW. Too bad they didn't upgrade the platform but I don't think most people would notice the difference. If it was done to reduce costs then you'd think they would have updated the platform.

Any news on pricing?

Nice! I like the new look much more than the old look. The old headlights and grille made the car look tall. This makes it look wide.

As updates come out the page will be updated. Thanks for reading!

Good thing they added the MFSW to the wagon and bluetooth. If they have bi-xenon headlights then the car will finally be equipped decently.

Pricing will probably be within a few hundred dollars of the 2009. Great car but hasn't this platform been around since 2005? They should have given it the new platform.

If they really do add these extras with the same price then wow!

Self parking? I hope they don't make that an option since parallel parking is a lost art. It would probably cost too much anyways. PS, always back into a parallel parking. You can't drive forward into one.

They are trying to reduce costs. At least the wagon gets HIDs, bluetooth. For me, that brings it up to a very competitive position in it's price range.

Does the sedan also get xenon lights?

HID Headlights

I couldn't find any info about HID/Xenon headlights on the order sheet on the website.

I would add those in an instant.

I also didn't see anything about ordering fog lights
on the order sheets.

Just wondering if this is new information.

You're right, it was an early rumor but I don't think it's going to appear on the sportwagen. It will be an option on the Golf which uses the same headlights as the sportwagen.

What would it take to retrofit OEM HIDs?

 

[chittychittybangbang]

FYI, you can make it work with just the headlight assembly. Since the sportwagen is getting the Golf look you'll need GTI/Golf HIDs. These parts are so new that I doubt there is a lot of availability. Try TMtuning or ECStuning. My guess for price is about $1200-1500.

However, OEM hids also have levelers - these are sensors that level the headlights according to how the body is sitting vs. the suspension. As long as you aim the headlights correctly the levelers are nice but not manditory.

If they are trying to reduce costs, why is the price going up?

 

[bill gibson]

Material costs are going down but I've read that they had to price them at a loss since they were too expensive to build. That's why there are less luxury techno features in the later Jettas. Stuff like power seats and automatic climate control disappeared from the Jettas.

And to make more money!

Added to the 2009-2010 Jetta buying guide: official order sheets scanned by Turbo Paul at vwvortex. They were hard to find so I also added them to the guide/FAQ. Prices are still not released.

 

[Stefan2006]

Pricing for the sedans has been out for a while, about $360 over last year. I bet if you call the guys who put their 2010 wagon on ebay they can tell you the price on the 2010 wagon.
