Which 2013 Volkswagen models offer the best fuel economy?
Smaller hatchbacks and diesel variants generally lead in fuel efficiency—think compact Golfs, Jettas (especially TDI diesels where available) and the Beetle with smaller engines; exact figures depend on engine choice and transmission, which you can check in the Power (hp) column and Markets info for diesel availability.
How can I tell which market a specific 2013 Volkswagen was sold in?
Look at trim names, equipment levels, and emissions badges (and the VIN country code) to identify the market; the Markets column below groups models by region so you can match options and legal specs to the vehicle you’re examining.
