Introduced at the New York Auto Show in 2007, the SportWagen signals the return of the wagon to the Jetta for the Mark V platform and represents an attempt at a more aggressive, European look for a variant primarily sold in North America (the wagon is sold as a Golf in most other regions). The larger back of the wagon more than doubles the available cargo volume from the 16 cubic feet of the sedan to 32.8 feet with all seats upright; with the back seats folded down, that space expands to 66.9 cubic feet.
