it is weird that vw didn't use a diesel engine. diesel makes more sense for luxury cars in america because most luxury cars recommend or require premium and diesel costs about as much. The biggest reason why diesel isn't as popular in america for regular cars is because regular gasoline is usually significantly cheaper than diesel
@order9066 Well, unfortunately for you, emissions figures are important to the majority of Europeans shopping for cars. If you don't like it, don't watch it.
En volgens mij rijden er in 2020 wel meer mensen electrisch, als je dan nog geen hybride hebt dan kijken ze je aan op verjaardagen alsof je ook nog geen platte TV hebt.
You always bring very interesting stuff up for normal people who can perhaps buy the stuff you present. Thank you very much for another great great video autoblogger!!
@Dz493 Modern diesel engines pollute less than petrols...so thats not a problem. Problem is american ignorance and lack of knowledge. Most americans still think of diesels as slow, smokey, weak engines that sound like tractors....they dont realize modern diesels are far more advanced than petrols and beat them in every way, except sound.
@derbigpr500 economy, environment, torque... yes. Driving enjoyment, outright pace, no ( don't bring up Lemans, most of that is down to economy and rulings) and as you mentioned, not sound either. They have their place though, if you want something economical or that tows with ease and you don't care about output or sound, it's perfect. Also, they're not more advanced, yes they use direct injection, but so do many petrols. In my mind they're perfect for hybrid powertrans as well. :)
@jcadlols You dont know have much experience with diesels, do you? :P Diesel cars offer same driving enjoyment and MORE outright pace than petrols. They offer more usable performance. You can overtake with diesel engines much faster than with petrols, they accelerate faster from low-rpm, they accelerate faster at high speeds. They're quieter at high speeds since you can drive 200 kmh at under 3000 rpm.... and yes. Diesel engines are more advanced than petrols, take some time and find out.
@derbigpr500 haha, two volvo 480's in our sunseeker 46... Small deisels sound bad, large ones sound badass. Acceleration from low rpm, yeah, sure it's better than petrol. But make sure you're not comparing that with a normally aspirated petrol... try a normally aspirated diesel for performance. A petrol will always be quicker overall as it's power is over a far wider rev range. Don't get me wrong, deisels are great... but there's a reason why no sportscar has one.
@derbigpr500 , diesels pollute more than petrol does. Especially more NOx which is the number one ingredient for creating smog. Also a diesel puts out more carbonparticles which is the numer one reason for people getting astma. They are also the numer one reason for airborne solid particles which is also really bad for peoples lungs.
And advanced... not really. Diesels should be banned for private use. Every single country on this planet knows that. Only europe is ignorant.
@Dz493 Diesel produces less emmisions than petrol except in NOX. Problem is taxes, i dont know in other countries, but in mine diesel has less taxes than petrol, and people begun to choose diesel 10 years ago. When demand surpases the offer, i dont know what will happen with the price. By the way, to make diesel is much expensive than petrol.
@Dz493 the price of diesel is the same as gas here(by me in Illinois) thats not the problem.The U.S. is at Euro 6 compare to Euro 5 emissions everywhere else so in order to pass involves the use urea or a redesign engine both involve money that affects the company and buyers

I tire of the references to carbon emitted per gallon or mile driven. If you don't want to emit harmless carbon dioxide, then ride a horse.
