Well, the new Euro IV emission norms will come in effect from April 1st and while most of the car manufacturers are busy hiking their car prices, Volkswagen is a planning to do something different. In order to comply with the new emission norms, is ready with Passat and Jetta flaunting all new BS IV compliant enginesAlong with the new 16-valve 2.0 liter common rail turbo diesel engine, the new Jetta will also feature some new cosmetic changes including new grille and bumpers. The new engine will have a power of139bhp, as compared to the 105bhp produced by the previous 1.9 Pump Duse engine.
The new engine, which is compatible to the new Bharat Stage IV emission norms, is claimed to provide better fuel efficiency and at the same less noisy compared to the previous one. However, in order to keep the price tag of Jetta competitive, VW will not pair it with DSG twin-clutch transmission and will be available with manual transmission only.
On the other hand, the VW Passat will continue with the 2-litre common-rail diesel. But, here is the news, it will, for the first time since its launch in 2007, also get a petrol engine. Volkswagen Passat will get the same turbocharged direct injection 1.8-litre petrol, which currently powers the Skoda Laura.
With the new petrol engine Passat, VW is planning to give a tough competition to Honda Accord. While the Passat’s 160bhp is not much compared to Accord’s 177bhp, its direct injection powerplant has a massive 25.5kgm of torque from a low 1500rpm. This will enhance the performance of Passat and the 0-100kph could be achieved in less than nine seconds.
In an effort to outdo the Honda Accord, Volkswagen will price the Passat very aggressively. It is, indeed, talking about a Rs 20 lakh price tag for this car.
And this comes at a time when major car manufacturers are grabbing the opportunity to hike their car prices, all in the disguise of the new emission norms. Volkswagen is definitely setting an example to all the other car manufacturers.

Real cars of the future are not vehicles that will roll on four wheels and look like sleek streaks of lightning or oblong tear drops that hum instead of roar. No, the true prospect of visionary transport is not bound by the winding roads but by the rush of the winds in the sky.

I currently own a 3rd generation honda accord with a manuel transmission and I’m saving up for something that would be more suited for a new driver. Although I really dont like automatic transmissions.
