Diesels are finally here, sort of. Now that we have the low-sulfur fuel, manufacturers have responded with vehicles that even the great state of California will allow on its hallowed highways.

I have a TDI with 400,000 km on it and it still runs great.

@krempo997 2 года назад

how is it now?

@sspope 15 лет назад

I'm stunned. If you bought a VW TDi....even 3 years ago, it was quite noisy, but these new ones are so quiet, it's incredible.

@mandymoila9557 3 года назад

This car is even more better than the new rivals suvs

@tomandsuehunter1 14 лет назад

The V10 was nice but put the Touareg in the $75,000 range. The V6 application works very well. A fully loaded TDI Touareg is in mid-50's here. Quite a savings over the V10 and much more reasonable as a daily driver.

@C_R_O_M________ 6 лет назад

tomandsuehunter1 I agree and I own a 2005 V10

@sspope 15 лет назад

Fuel economy, high levels of torque - much higher than gasoline engines, most of the power available at low rpm, very quiet (new ones). In other words they're good for highway cruising.

@onoff314 15 лет назад

That is damn plenty fast for a 2.3tonne truck with a diesel

@ceysin7895 9 месяцев назад

Mine is 2008 3.0tdi 370,000km and still rocks

@AlexMolins 5 лет назад

Very nice control for that height and weight. I have the V6, not a bullet but plenty of power. You can afford all the situations with this car. Big interiors for you family and stuff, great AC. Fuel consumption is high but the performance balance is good.

@56KbModem 15 лет назад

Diesels are not bad..... they KICK ASS :D Having 200hp from a 2.0 and averaging 6l/100km=WIN.

@alej469 15 лет назад

Surely it would've made more sense to test the V10???

@Bongs38 12 лет назад

I think you need to listen closely in this video. #no noise# 3ltr and the 5ltr tdi can be mistaken for a petrol car, very quite. The only noise you hear is the turbo spooling and the sound of the petrol car behind over-revving trying to keep up. #Diesel Power#

@4MATICbenz 15 лет назад

performs not only well for an SUV, but especially well for a diesel SUV

@bmtimv 15 лет назад

Southern California, last time I filled up diesel was 2.69 and regular was 3$

@DualofChaos 14 лет назад

Not bad. Its less than half a second slower than the V8. And its not too expensive, it can be yours for about $42 grand. A diesel is fine in an SUV like this, but those people saying that it should be in every type of car are mistaken.

@Undeworld667 12 лет назад

I drove a Ford Mondeo when I was in the UK. 6 speed diesel - man i want that much low end torque again! Wish there were more diesels in Canada.

@sspope 15 лет назад

Actually, I know a guy who services his 240 in my friend's service and it'll have 3,000,000 km on it soon.

@Spyster007 14 лет назад

Over 400,000 km on my TDI.

@coolerdude44 15 лет назад

for your driving style, a diesel would suit you best. diesels are durable and brawny, suited to highway driving. like the bmw 335d. gets 36 mpg on the highway, yet goes from 0-60 in 6 seconds.

@sterlingnobles 15 лет назад

Hells yea dude im with u on that one!

@FireCat005 14 лет назад

@junglist1soldier Check your facts bud, the diesel engine was invented by Rudolf Diesel in the late 1890's. Then engine was originally run on Peanut oil, not our current diesel fuel.

@Baturatus 11 лет назад

I love my car

@157155173 13 лет назад

Perfect car

@firesquare16 13 лет назад

The R50 would be a lot of fun if they imported a few to the US

@56KbModem 15 лет назад

Yes, and it's a real damn shame. A friend of mine had one of these old Mercedes' for a few years, damn thing seemed indestructible. The new diesels are quite durable, too. There's no way they will last 3,000,000 km's, but if used properly, they can serve you for a long, long time ;)

@ShiekUrBooty 14 лет назад

I've got a 11,000 miles on a jetta TDI, it is an interesting vehicle.

@157155173 13 лет назад

've walked into a v8 performance is Very Good Puch and strong

@Evilliboba 15 лет назад

It means the car is allowed to roll forward one foot before the timer starts.

@terribrad24 15 лет назад

Wouldn't it make more sense to use the V10 diesel for this test?

@okan89 15 лет назад

thats a problem in the us though. in europe 87% of all sold SUVs are diesels and about 49% of cars are diesels.

@DeScRuN 15 лет назад

Well not bad acceleration to 60 but you should test the Q7 V12 TDI.

@fromcalifa01 13 лет назад

i will buy one one day

@rtsoccerplayer 13 лет назад

they need to throw one of those diesel v6's in a GTI

@moaski 15 лет назад

Southwest Michigan is about 40 to 50 cents per gallon cheaper.

@bmtimv 15 лет назад

I have a jetta tdi, I love it! diesel is cheaper than gasoline and the fuel economy is just an added bonus.

@sterlingnobles 15 лет назад

i think they will

@56KbModem 15 лет назад

This thing weights almost 2,5 tons... so for it's size the performance is sweet. I own a Dodge Caliber 2.0 TDI(european version with a german engine), 1500 kilos, 185HP(!!!!), 0-60 in less than 8 secs, and averages 6l/100 km(less than fucking hybrids!) When you compare this to the retarded prehistoric engines USA is producing, these figures are like from Star Trek. Sad, but true...

@leodevil240mph 13 лет назад

@Airox2009 There are two things that can make even the worst quality turbo work for life. Allow the engine to idle before and after moving and use a good quality fully synthetic engine oil. Apart from that there is absolutely no problem with diesel engines. You get all the power, torque with the fuel economy. Reliability is not an issue with the modern diesel engines. Trust me, i have a lot of experience :-)

@Spyster007 14 лет назад

@vdubmahn The v8 TDI is more powerful, faster, lighter, and more efficient than the v10, why keep it?

@coolerdude44 15 лет назад

the ford gt is hardly american. steering came from the aston martin vanquish, the gearbox was german, the suspension and chassis was developed by lotus, and the brakes and wheels were italian. and the viper acr's chassis is german as well.

@Lambo6fo 15 лет назад

They let the car "roll" a foot before flooring the throttle

@MrIWILLSUBSCRIBE 15 лет назад

volkswagen makes such great diesel engines we need more clean diesel engines in america. way more efficient than gasoline

@OneOfaKind949 15 лет назад

Anyone know what the MPG's are on this diesel?

@vdubmahn 14 лет назад

they shouldn't have gotten rid of the v10

@Tomasz2488 15 лет назад

yes this is the same 3.0 tdi ;]

@MrIWILLSUBSCRIBE 15 лет назад

besides the fact that the v10 would be Much heavier and more sluggish in the higher end, which diesel engines dont have much of anyway.

@C_R_O_M________ 6 лет назад

caleb levy it's much heavier (I think about 300 kilos more) but much faster everywhere. It's power to weight ratio is way better than the V6s.

@junglist1soldier 14 лет назад

this is the 6 cylinder. You are talking about the V-10 buddy.

@stevz0r 15 лет назад

need the v10 =D

@thealbanianblood 14 лет назад

@medjaiii 15 лет назад

i'd test it against the hyundai santa fe crdi

@sspope 15 лет назад

Diesels are durable but turbos, filters, sensors and other things on them are not. They're generally too complicated these days.

@maxnanabas09 15 лет назад

i will still get the duramax Gm vehicle

@edgaradolph9647 8 лет назад

In my country a diesel is cheap to turn coz diesel here is far cheaper than gasoline... besides the diesel tdis sound better

@sspope 15 лет назад

I didn't say that. I'm just saying that cars like good ol' Mercedes with diesels lasting 3,000,000 kilometers aren't built anymore.

@C_R_O_M________ 6 лет назад

Londo Mollari if you improve performance dramatically, which they did, it's only natural that reliability will suffer. The good ol'Mercedes diesel had less than a third of todays diesel's HP figures and of course less torque as well.

@Lieburner 15 лет назад

Sure, the gasoline engine rather than the physical limit to exceed the 5500 or 6000rpm as have the diesel. Only the diesel engine built by Ricardo Engineering for the 24h LeMans can overcome this natural limit. But was a experimental racing engine 6.0 Lt V10 40v Twin Turbo piezo injectors 600/700bhp At 6500rpm and this engine haved never won a race.Only the V12 TDI installed in the Audi R10 haved won in all the world.

@theburade 15 лет назад

European car technology is just at a completely different technological level than american, almost saddens me...

@junglist1soldier 14 лет назад

Diesel engines will soon take out gasoline engines, as they should have in the beginning. They last longer, less maintenance, & now, they're cleaner, & more efficient. Thanks to Mercedes Benz for inventing the Diesel Engine! I'll be buying my first Brand new Vehicle, which will for sure be a Turbo Diesel.The GTI is QUICK!My first choice is the ML420 or 320 Bluetec, 2nd is VW.I should have test drove this model.Got to go drive it for sure now.BIODIESEL is the FUTURE FUEL!

@Lambo6fo 15 лет назад

I'm glad someone already the Audi R10 TDi, that thing is stupid fast, and yes it's diesel.

@yarex2005 15 лет назад

.80g? en mexico logra .90g =D

@blood117 13 лет назад

I dont get why this country wont allow the V10 tdi to be sold here? so what if it pollutes a little more.

@56KbModem 15 лет назад

yup, it's 2009 and making complicated tech is a bad idea. Let's stick to huge gas-guzzlers ;)

@YAGO323 15 лет назад

what are the advantages of a diesel engine???

@56KbModem 15 лет назад

a 335d is very small? dude,what the hell? do you drive with your entire furniture to work? why the hell would you need a 7 meter long v8 truck to drive to work? I've been to the states several times,and i saw housewives drive their HUMMERS to work. Diesels are the best engines in the world when it comes to long highway driving. On the highway,driving at 150 km/h my 2.0 TDI averages 4-5l/100 km. And,for some odd reason,if you didn't notice, european cars despite being smaller,are more spacious.

@parker97e 15 лет назад

Id test it against the porsche cayenne.

@56KbModem 15 лет назад

show me a 2.0 litre duramax engine with 200hp that needs 6l/100 km, or a 3.0 duramax engine with 290 hp that burns 8L/100 km.

@anthony6151 15 лет назад

Idk, my dad's X5 diesel is boring and heavy.

@Bad_1nfluence 15 лет назад

just so you know these test numbers aren't very good...

@legendray2008 15 лет назад

Me pesonally I have an experience with this car (2007) Its heavy, very noisy. Although, feels good. didn't try off road . overall don't buy one .

@bryanspeed1 15 лет назад

that thing is slow as shit my duramax would out run it pulling one of those

@sspope 15 лет назад

That car is more than 30 year old.

@antonysummers6811 10 лет назад

whatever

@lbart2005 15 лет назад

@2hisk0 You really need to get yourself out of your cave and go drive a modern diesel. There are absolutely no comprimises in a diesel compared to a gasoline powered car or light truck. Try it you'll like it.
