I wonder which TDI they used. There's probably 5-6 different engine options.
The 2.0 TDIs in the Jetta, Golf, and A3 have never needed SCR. The bigger ones do. I'd be curious to see how fuel economy would change if they...
Urea injection means less EGR can be used, which gives more efficient combustion. It also means fewer active (fuel consuming) DPF regenerations.
Jetta sedan or Golf. The Jetta sedan dates back to before the Gen 2 Prius, but is much more popular than the Golf. The Golf is newer and better...
I was going to guess Superb. Guess we'll have to wait and see :) Somewhat related information: The Octavia shares a platform and engines with...
With VW, it seems to be that the pedal pressed second wins. So brake can override a stuck throttle, but throttle can also override a stuck brake...
Interesting perspective and good points. Was your last car a Skoda? Just guessing by your avatar. Hope I identified it correctly.
Hi Evan, I don't think I can do 10. Here's 4 that I've viewed over the last two weeks which I think would be a good fit:...
Hi Evan, I think it would be a good place for general diesel related discussion: emissions, fuel economy, comparisons to other (non-Prius)...
That would be interesting and a good place to contain most diesel related discussion instead of it scattering all over the place.
Manufacturers have been saying that SCR provides better fuel economy and more power than in-cylinder EGR. Less active regenerations and more...
Ford has said the new 6.7 will be about 18% more efficient than the 6.4 and is confident it will be the most efficient HD pickup.
Passenger space is virtually identical. Where the Prius wins is cargo space.
Some mechanics will call themselves diesel mechanics , but their specialty may be 20 year old Mercedes diesels. No way I would want them to work...
Emissions regulations, power increases, NVH reduction. The next version is going to be quite a change in all three areas.
The problem still remains that not all requirements are considered. To say it comes down to only the six factors you mentioned is a stretch....
Hi Bob, the problem with a requirements analysis is that different people have different requirements. The Prius seems to meet most people's...
Hi Tim, what year of TDI did you test drive? I stalled the 2009 with the new engine a few times before getting used to it. It may have idled...
The non-turbo automotive diesels seem to be tuned for efficiency and often get beat even in low end torque. For example, the VW 1.9 and 2.0 SDI...
