Volkswagen Golf TDI
The Volkswagen Golf TDI is the alternative offering of Volkswagen for car buyers
who have fuel efficiency at the top of their list for the type of car to buy.
With the TDI trim, they can have all the power, comfort, safety and practicality
of the Volkswagen Golf hatchback and yet save on the fuel they have to use. With
Volkswagen's TDI technology, a car's engine can now be both powerful and fuel
efficient.
The Volkswagen Golf TDI is available in both GL and GLS trims. It is equipped
with a 1.9 liter I4 engine that produces 100 hp of power and 177 lb-ft of torque.
At this power level, it makes efficient use of your fuel by providing 38 mpg in
city and 456 mpg in highway. And what's more surprising is that it makes good
use of a diesel fuel.
Volkswagen's TDI technology stands for Turbocharged Direct Injection. With this
new technology, Volkswagen changes the common perception about the diesel engine;
that it is not efficient, noisy and emits too much exhaust materials. The Volkswagen
Golf TDI offers you the same performance common to inline type engines yet provide
you better fuel economy, both from the low cost of diesel and increased gas mileage.
The TDI technology also reduces the noise and carbon dioxide emissions of diesel
engines, making your car more ear-friendly and environment friendly.
Aside from the use of the more fuel efficient diesel engine, the TDI variants
of the two Volkswagen Golf trims share the same equipments and specifications
of their respective trims. All TDI models are equipped with the standard 5-speed
transmission. Interior comfort and conveniences are the same as the regular models,
and so are the amount of safety features and equipments that Volkswagen is known
to give chief importance.
