Diesel Dilemma

We've always been a fan of the VW Jetta diesel ever since the day we got behind the wheel of one. However we were really smitten when we spent a little more quality time with the car when it became part of our test vehicle fleet for a short while and we were able to put some actual miles on it. So understandably we were quite excited when we were told that we could get our hand on the new updated Jetta with a 2.0-litre common rail diesel, which replaces the 1.9-litre Pump Duse diesel engine. This is incidentally the same powerplant that makes and appearance on the Skoda Laura manual transmission variant.

By CarWale Team16 Sep 2008

Volkswagen has been a late entrant to the Indian market, but now that it is here, it seems to have a single-minded mission: take over. It tested the waters successfully with the more humble and relatively unknown Octavia and then the Laura from the Skoda brand, and it launched the VW brand with the Passat. Now the Jetta, VW's bestselling model in the USA, has made an entry to lend more fuel the to the D-segment fire in the Indian market.
