A Jetta TDI is a couple hundred dollars cheaper still in base trim, and coincidentally, a fully optioned Jetta TDI with Premium and Navigation packages, bringing moonroof, Fender sound system, 17-inch aluminium wheels, power driver's seat, navigation and keyless entry, lists for exactly the same price as the Jetta Hybrid SE, with none of those features.

A premium portable navigation device for those looking for both style and substance, the NAVIGON 7200T offers features no other GPS system has such as Reality View ProTM, Lane Assistant ProTM and Free Real-Time Traffic Updates for Life.
It also featured premium audio and navigation systems.
There are plenty of other goodies such as heated front seats, power glass moon roof, DVD navigation, premium sound system and a reverse warning system, which will add several thousand bucks to the price.
HOW MUCH? $50,925 base; $56,025 as tested with the $5,100 Prestige package (including navigation system, premium Bose sound system, LED daytime running lights and rear-view camera).
SLE 4x2, $32,140; SLE 4x4, $34,390'0505 prices); $45,390 as tested, for '04 SLT with V-8, navigation system, premium stereo, XM Satellite Radio, adjustable pedals and other upgrades.
Add a few options from the long list, which includes a DVD entertainment system ($1,200), XM Satellite Radio ($325 plus $9.95 a month); a $3,595 package that includes a navigation system, premium Bose stereo and high-intensity headlamps, and the price skyrockets.
