Green Car Journal has awarded the 2009 Green Car of the Year award to the unassuming Volkswagen Jetta TDI.
According to Sustainable Life Media, the Jetta earned the honor of green car of the year due to its cutting edge clean diesel engine and very reasonable $21,000 price. The environmentally friendly diesel engine uses new diesel injection and emissions technology, making it cleaner than diesels in the past. In fact, this green diesel meets very strict emissions standards in every state.
Other benefits of the green car of the year include increased fuel economy (41 mpg on the highway) and far fewer greenhouse gas emissions. According to the editor of GreenCar.com, the Jetta "epitomizes what the Green Car of the Year honor is all about."
This year, the environmentally friendly Jetta beat out the BMW 335d, Saturn Vue 2, Mode Hybrid, Ford Fusion Hybrid and the smart fortwo. This is also the first time that a diesel car has been named green car of the year.
