Touareg SUV Axed
VW’s premium SUV won’t return for the 2018 model year. It’s a slow seller. VW’s rep says the brand will focus on its new Atlas crossover.
A new 2019 Touareg is in the works says VW; we don’t know whether it’s intended for the USA.
More Cars with B-Cycle Engines
Throughout VW’s 2018 lineup, you’ll find greater use of its turbocharged 2.0-liter, 172-hp EA888 Gen 3B mill. First seen in Audi’s 2017 A3 and A4, VW says it’s now standard on Passats and Beetles. The latter has an optional 210-hp engine. This means more power to the people’s car.
The 2.0-liter 172-hp engine has a valve-lift system (B-cycle) that can shorten the effective intake stroke will lengthening the compression stroke. This lets the engine operate more efficiently under partial throttle operation.
Frisky GTI horsepower is now 210 hp for starters and the Golf R gets an optional seven-speed direct shift gearbox.
