Press Release
TDI Engines in Golf GT and Touran
-
New Top Diesel with 170 PS and 350 newton meters
-
Touran TDI with 125 kW: 214 km/h and 6,5 liters average consumption
-
Golf GT TDI reaches 220 km/h and consumes an average of 5,9 liters diesel
As the strongest TDI power train of the series Golf, Touran and Passat, Volkswagen offers a completely newly developed 2.0 TDI with 125 kW / 170 PS (at 4,200 rpm). This four-valve TDI with piezo technologie elements and standard diesel particulate filter, develops a maximum torque of 350 newton meters between 1,750 and 2,500 rpm.
TDI WITH 125 KW IN GOLF AND TOURAN
-
With this TDI the Golf GT reaches 220 km/h and consumes 5.9 liters
-
Touran is 214 km/h fast and consumes an average of 6,5 liters
Golf GT TDI with 125 kW: the strongest turbo diesel ever fitted in a Golf accelerates the best selling car in Europe in only 8,2 seconds to 100 km/h. The Golf GT TDI reaches a maximum speed at 220 km/h. The average consumption is extremely low. According to the norm 99/100/EG, 5,9 liters are a top rate for such an agile car. If you put economy in the forefront of your driving style you can also reach rates under 5,0 liters. This GT is shifted via a manual six-gear transmission. Just like for the Golf GT TSI, the automatic double-clutch transmission DSG will be available optionally.
Touran TDI with 125 kW: it turns the Golf GT into a sports car, the Touran into a sports van: the 125 kW / 170 PS strong 2.0-liters TDI with piezo technology. In the Touran as well, the new TDI is the strongest diesel since the inception of the series. With this engine, the van storms to 100 km/h in only 9,0 seconds. With a maximum speed of 214 km/h it is one of the fastest large capacity limousines on the market. But at the same time its efficiency also marks an optimum rate: 6,5 liters in combined operation.
TDI TECHNOLOGY
Higher performance, more comfort and lower consumption through newly developed piezo elements
High specific performance: other technical data: an injection pressure of up to 2,200 bar. With 62,5 kW/1 the specific performance of the 2.0 TDI marks a top rate. Even though the new TDI shows performance and comfort characteristics that come close to the level of a five- or six-cylinder turbo diesel, the consumption and emission rates are in the low four-cylinder range.
Piezo-Technology: the direct injection reaches high performance and comfort rates while at the same time keeping consumption low – this is owed to the newly developed piezo elements. They enable a chain of positive characteristics. First: a very high injection pressure and therefore low emissions and an optimum specific performance. Second: an ideal hyrdraulic efficiency as the result of a very small high-pressure volume. Third: an ideal course of the injection rate. Fourth: pre injection is very precise only requiring a small amount and operating on a low pressure level. Fifth: f lexibly steerable pre- and post-injection amounts as well as intervals. Sixth: low injection noise.
