VW’s New 2015 Golf SportWagen Priced from $21,395

It’s almost been a year since VW presented the all-new 2015 Golf SportWagen at the NY Auto Show, and while it won’t go on sale until April, we now know how much it will cost in the US.

Pricing kicks off at $21,395 for the entry-level 170hp 1.8-liter turbocharged gasoline model, which VW says is “$700 less” than the outgoing base Jetta SportWagen, but on VW’s page, the base 2.5L model’s MSRP is listed at $20,995.

The 150hp 2.0-liter diesel model starts at $24,595, “a reduction of almost $2,000 over the previous base TDI model price”, according to the German carmaker’s press release, or exactly $1,970 according to their consumer website.

The gasoline engine is offered with a five-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission, while the direct-injection four-cylinder TDI Clean Diesel that returns up to 43 mpg can be had with a six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic.
