Diesel engines actually two, but one with two degrees of boosting – 1.6 TDI (115 HP) and 2.0 TDI (150 or 190 PS). It is clear that "atmosferico" among the modern engines of the Volkswagen group for Europe in the afternoon with fire will not find, but they all sustain the norms of Euro-6.

New with any of the motors can be ordered with 6-speed manual gearbox or 7-speed "robot". However, there is an exception – the most powerful "diesel" is possible only in conjunction with DSG-7.
