A range of diesel-powered Volkswagen vehicles have benefited from an upgrade to their TDI engines.
The Volkswagen Passat sedan, Passat wagon, Passat Alltrack?(pictured top) and CC have all received a new upgraded engine, with more power, more torque and reduced fuel consumption.
The 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine now comes with 130kW and 380Nm – an increase of 5kW and 30Nm. Fuel consumption has altered on some models too with the Passat wagon and CC (pictured above) reducing their combined cycle fuel consumption figure by 0.3 litres per 100km to 5.4L/100km, while the Passat sedan now consumes 5.6L/100km, down 0.1L/100km.
Emissions of 142 grams of CO2 per kilometre for the wagon, 143g/km for the CC and 147g/km for the sedan also come with the changes.
The Volkswagen Passat Alltrack achieves figures of 6.3L/100km and 166g/km.
Prices across the four models have also been revised, now listed at $44,490 for the Passat 130TDI sedan, $46,490 for the Passat 130TDI wagon, $47,790 for the Passat Alltrack, and $55,490 for the Volkswagen CC 130TDI.
All upgraded vehicles are now available locally through Volkswagen's dealer network.
