Power is an amazing thing. Especially when you can
share it with everybody. And when you’ve got three
great engines to pick from, there’s more than enough to
go around. Choose between the perfectly balanced
170-horsepower 2.5L, the 280-horsepower V6 for more
oomph, or the 2.0L TDI Clean Diesel for maximum
effi ciency.* They all have that perfect precision that only
comes from German engineering. And that can only
mean one thing: You’re really going to enjoy driving it.
Power to the people.
To make the V6 engine even more exhilarating, and
to up the ante on some of the TDI models, we’ve
coupled them with the DSG
®
transmission with
Tiptronic
®
for imperceptibly fast gear changes and
seamless acceleration. We’d actually understand if
you didn’t want to share those with anybody else.
