2009 Volkswagen Touareg V-6 TDI

Volkswagen is clearly on to something with its new push toward diesels. The new Jetta TDI, for example, has blown past sales expectations, with Volkswagen reporting that uptake on the Jetta SportWagen has been 80 percent diesel. So the time is clearly right for the 2009 Volkswagen Touareg V-6 TDI that was unveiled at the 2008 L.A. Auto Show. The Touareg V-6 TDI isn’t the first diesel Touareg of course, that title goes to the V-10 TDI that has been available since the Touareg’s introduction. However, the V-6 is something to crow about, with significantly better fuel economy than the regular V-6 model, and 50-state legal emissions. Expect another run on diesels at the VW dealership.
