Getting a new diesel-powered car just got a bit easier. Volkswagen has announced a new Jetta TDI Value Edition for 2014 that trims over $2,000 off the starting price of a Jetta TDI, making the most affordable diesel-powered car in America even more so. Prices start at $21,295 (*plus $820 for destination) for a Value Edition with a six-speed manual transmission, while a six-speed dual-clutch automatic adds $1,100 to the price. For that money, owners will get 140 horsepower, 236 pound-feet of torque and 42 miles per gallon on the freeway.

Despite the lower price and being down on content versus the previous base Jetta TDI, the Value Edition does come quite well equipped, with standard heated cloth seats, a six-speaker stereo with a Media Device Interface, satellite radio, and one-touch, up-down power windows on all four doors. Customers will be giving up some notable stuff though, including tilt/telescopic steering, Bluetooth streaming audio, power seats and a multi-function steering wheel.

Still, if you're aching to get your hands on a new TDI, this is now the most affordable way to do it. We suspect having the lower MSRP will help the German manufacturer make even further diesel-powered inroads here in the States, a land where they cleared their decks of over 100,000 TDI models in 2013.

Besides announcing the new Value Edition, Volkswagen has announced that the Jetta has just been given a five-star overall crash test rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in its New Car Assessment Program. The NHTSA NCAP crash tests rate a vehicle's occupant protection based on front, side and rollover testing. Scroll down for an official press release detailing both NHTSA's crash test results and the announcement of the new Jetta TDI Value Edition.Continue reading VW Jetta TDI Value Edition drops price of diesel ownership to $21,295*
