2011	4dr SUT 320-horsepower 5.3L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic 4WD	what fuel economy? bought it to pull a Brenderup horse trailer (3300lbs including 1 horse) that can be pulled with a 4cyl car in europe.... doing 22l/100km on flat roads with light foot. more than double combined rating ....GM unresponsive! see full Chevrolet Avalanche review

2007	4dr SUT 320-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range	It only averages around 14 to 15 in a mostly city driving environment. Was hoping the V4 mode would kick in more often to help improve the economy. see full Chevrolet Avalanche review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD	mid 30s in town about 40 so far on trips expect better as the engine breaks in and we take more freeway trips see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
2012	4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD	Excellent with the TDI - not sure the gas version. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
2011	4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD	No need to sacrifice mpg to get that power. Have gotten 50 mpg on highway trips of 40 miles. Averaging 39 mpg at fill-ups. Getting 300 miles to half a tank of gas. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
2011	4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I was hoping for a bit better than the 8+ litres/100 km we are getting with this Sportwagen. I was hoping it would be closer to the 6 l/100 km advertised on the window sticker. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
2011	4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD	Our Sportwagen, automatic, has 17,000 mostly country/suburban miles. We routinely get 43 mpg and the mileage seems to have improved a bit, maybe 2-3 mpg since new. Top mileage is about 47 mph on the interstate, low is about 37 in combined in-town/suburban winter driving. For a car that is fun to drive and responsive at the stop light, this seems very good to me. Right now, diesel is at a premium compared to gas, but we still are saving money on fuel. Mileage on other brands of small wagons was much lower for the same utility. A friend with a new, 2013 Subaru wagon got 30 mpg on a long trip and was happy, but nothing like the TDI delivers. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
2009	4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD	Porsche performance with Prius economy see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
2009	4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD	With 32k Miles on the odo, the mileage keeps improving. I think the engine will be fully broken in at about 50k see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
2009	4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD	The TDI is a great contender in the fuel economy range. I do alot of driving and it would have presented great savings to me if I was able to located one when I needed to purchase a car. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
2009	4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual FWD	I was getting around 50 mpg on steady state freeway driving. But the performance was far from economy car- Way better! Can imagine what is possible when the car gets broke in. Excellent all around. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review

2011	4dr Wagon 170-horsepower 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The Sportwagen's fuel economy is exactly what you'd expect from a fairly substantial compact wagon and a 2.5 litre gas engine, not the magically impossible gas mileage posted on the window sticker at the dealership! see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review
