Volkswagen release details of the 2013 Beetle TDI

2013 Volkswagen Beetle TDI
Volkswagen has revealed details about their new Beetle TDI, ahead of its official unveiling at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show on February 8-9. The Beetle will sport the same 2.0-litre TDI engine which is under the hoods of both the Passat and the Jetta. This 2.0-litre diesel motor will produce 141PS of power and 320Nm of torque. Customers get to choose between a dual-clutch and a 6-speed manual transmission.
Feature-wise and visually, the Beetle TDI will be identical to its petrol counterparts and VW claims that it will deliver an overall fuel efficiency of 14.45kmpl. The Beetle gets a diesel variant after a hiatus of six years and we expect it to go on sale in the US by mid-2012.
