2004 Volkswagen Golf

The New Golf Is Now Also Available With A 1.9 TDI With 90 BHP

WOLFSBÚRG, Germany - Volkswagen has once again improved the Golf's engine range with an important addition: the 1.9 TDI with 66 kW / 90 bhp.

A new TDI entry-level vehicle which will round off the bottom end of the TDI range. For the Trendline option, with its comprehensive equipment level and Climatic, the new Golf 1.9 TDI costs 17 950 euros and can be ordered immediately.

Like the TDI Models with 77 kW / 105 hp and 103 kW / 140 hp, the 66 kW / 90 hp version also has plenty of low-end acceleration. Even at 1,800 rpm, this 'small' TDI develops a torque of 240 Nm. Whether as a two or four-door, with the 1.9 TDI, the new Golf reaches a top speed of 176 km/h.

As can be expected, the new model is very economic. An average of 5.0 litres of diesel per 100 kilometres flow through the innovative direct injection unit injectors. The Golf 1.9 TDI also has tax benefits in Germany, as it, like all fifth generation Golfs, fulfils the stringent Euro 4 standards. ( posted on conceptcarz.com)

The equipment level is no different to the more powerful TDI engines. The Golf Trendline has the following features as standard: electro-mechanical power steering, easy-entry (2-door vehicles), remote control central locking, six airbags, active head restraints in the front, three head restraints plus centre three-point seatbelt in the rear as well as ESP with integrated ABS, EDL, TCS and brake assistant (Dual Brake Assist). For the Golf's 30th birthday, the semi-automatic air conditioner Climatic is also being included at no extra cost.
