More pictures and details of VW's Touareg BlueTDI in Geneva

Filed under: Diesel, Volkswagen, Geneva Motor Show



With a few hours behind us since the early-morning announcement of their diesel line-up in Geneva, VW is now giving more details on the Touareg BlueTDI, which will be coming to North America in 2008. There are no plans to bring this SUV to Europe. As we mentioned this morning, the Touareg BlueTDI's Selective Catalytic Reduction system (SCR) makes the 3.0-litre V6 TDI 225 PS diesel engine one of the cleanest diesel engines on the market. The point-by-point details are available after the jump.

Geneva Motor Show: VW's new diesel line-up detailed

Filed under: Diesel, Volkswagen, Geneva Motor Show

It's early-morning in Geneva, and the press releases are starting their advance from automaker lock-boxes to our green little eyes. The Autoblog writers in Geneva will be covering green announcements for us, but for now we'll make due with official PR from the likes of VW, which just released three announcements about their diesel lineup in Geneva. You can read all three after the jump (aren't we nice?) and here are the highlights:
  • Volkswagen will be offering the Touareg with SCR catalytic converter and "one of the cleanest diesel engines " starting in 2008
  • New Golf Variant (pictured) to be introduced this summer
  • New Passat BlueMotion with fuel economy of 5.1 liters per 100 kilometers, which VW estimates will cost German drivers with an average annual driving distance of 15,000 kilometers, just 68 Euros per month for fuel
  • Phaeton with first V6 TDI meets future (2009) Euro-5 standard
Read the details after the break.
