Diesel engines. The facelifted Karoq diesel range consists of two variants of the Volkswagen Group’s 2.0-litre TDI Evo turbodiesel engine, providing 116hp or 150hp – the latter with the option of four-wheel drive. Choosing the 150hp 2.0-litre TDI would have been considered the safe option a short time ago – and it’s not hard to see why. A large glazed area and a widely adjustable driver's seat make for a good view out in all directions. Richard Lane. The 2.0-litre diesel engine is very seldom noisy, pulls cleanly from as Volkswagen’s first inline-four started life in 1972 as an Audi engine used in the second-generation Audi 80, called the Fox in North America.

A3 buyers won’t lose any sleep debating which powertrain to choose, as the 201-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with a 48-volt hybrid system and Ours (2010 2.0 TDI though) was a very good car, and I’d imagine the cost saving for the 1.6 would be worth it. The 2.0 was never exciting so not sure why we went for the bigger engine. In addition, I took a 3.67 final VW rebuilt tranny, had the .71 fifth gear put on it, and transferred this with the 1.9L engine. This 1.9 NA has about 100 torque, a huge improvement over the original 1.6 liter NA. It took patience and time, about 8 months, to find this engine at a good price. This is the Skoda Octavia Greenline, complete with the new 1.6-litre commonrail turbodiesel engine that is being rolled out across the Volkswagen Group. The engine replaces the old 1.9-litre GGN5.
