i have a 13yr old diesel and its the same fuel economy body type and engine size so they haven't made much improvements in that time frame, mine is 169hp too.
Due to more stringent emissions regulations they have been neutering diesel engines for years. By decreasing compression ratios they can improve stuff like NOx emission (which are a diesels Achilles heel) but this also decreases the efficiency and power of the engine.
@@MyRealName I think he has a Passat B7 2.0 TDI CR 170ps those CR engines are insane, I had one 2009 2.0 TDI 140ps tuned to 170ps, was also efficient with averaging at under 6l on the autobahn (speeds 130 - 150kmh). computer showed 4.3l @ 110kmh in 6th gear. I liked that car a lot.
@@NonstopDrivingReviews Cause i don't really see any point of an engine more powerful than 150 hp. Just get that massaged seats, noise insulated windows, set cruise control at 130 (if it works) or whatever legal and let it cruise.
I went for Passat, car is great except i got same errors last friday after sw update like you in the video at 2:03, not working:acc,lane assisst, front assisst, sign recognition, proactive secuirity, dynamic lights. I just went to the official repair service and more people were with same problem. I could not find official announcment. Did you got any info about it?
I did not find out what the cause was, but after some research on the internet, it turns out that the sensors have problems when the Licensplate is not directly mounted to the bodywork. Maybe try this out to see if it fixes the issue (if you haven´t already got it fixed by your mechanic)
@@NonstopDrivingReviews Official service told me it is a common issue with camera on rearview mirror causing failure of the all assist functions. Temporary solution is reset fuse nr. 21 but it can occure again. Official solution should be announced in sometime in the future. Affected are significant number of new Tiguan and Passat. Unfortuantely it has serious security implication. Waiting for formal update.
don't really like diesels, but i must say, fuel efficiency on the latest gen is just...amazing, close to hybrids in city and half of the best petrol (be it hybrid or not) outside the city, especially at high speeds. fantastic although i would never ever buy a diesel again.
@@NonstopDrivingReviews They are a bit loud, more expensive to maintain (catalitic converter), slow to warm up in cold weathers, a lot more expensive to repair if something goes wrong, have to choose the right diesel for low temperature climats.
@@bilboriches7216 exactly... I have an Octavia 3 with 1.8 TSI. It's soo smoooth, you don't even hear it until 2000-2500RPM. It's actually nicer at low RPMs vs a diesel, it does not exhibit any vibration or feel like it's struggling at throttle input at ~1250RPM, it's just magnificent. And then...when you wanna have fun, 6500RPM, redline, it's a joy. Sure, i know what diesel is about. I've had an ALH 1.9 for 5 years. Had a jetta 2.0 tdi for a couple of months. Drove the new diesels, 1.6 TDI, 2.0 TDI, 1.5 tdci ford, even bmw X5 series from 2020 with 3L diesel inline 6 and...you hear it and you feel it. even the inline 6 bmw X5 which should be the perfect diesel, it kinda isn't. you don't feel it a lot, cause it's a bmw and inline 6, but you do hear it, sounds like a tractor still. Sure, the torque delivery is nicer in diesels, because it really pushes you, but i actually prefer how my 1.8 tsi does it, smoother, linear, progressive as you would expect. As for fuel consumption, yeah, diesels do give you much better mpg and that is one thing i still like a lot about them and dislike on mine. But then you have to wait for DPF regen, you have to put adblue in them, etc, etc and none of that is valid for a petrol engine. but the biggest reason is that the petrol turbo (especially ea888 gen 3 is a very nice engine, very refined) is so smooth and nice and when you get to experience one, you can't go back.
Very true. We did compare it to the Ioniq 6 with the rwd and bigger batterie. Cost wise they are almost identical at the different speeds, but with government funding you’re looking at a car that is 8000€ cheaper which would cover around 160.000km of electric range.
@@NonstopDrivingReviews Well, i bought a used Tesla S. It roughly uses 200 wats a km year around average. So those discounts dont apply to me. So it would be interesting to compare diesel to gasolin and electricity (on public chargers and at home) in a single chart. So it would be 4 colums in total. Yeah, all countries have different electricity prices, but never the less. From last november till today, my model S used 3387 kwh for 14170 km App diagnostics detects somewhere around 62-63 kwh total battery capacity.
True. If we have the chance to compare multiple of somewhat same variants we will definitely take your suggestions into considerations. Thanks for the idea!
Diesel is horrible thing that should be abandoned years ago by automakers. In just a few years we will be asking yourself why we was so stupid to using them instead of EVs.
Diesel is used to make EVs. How does that sit with you? In fact, fossil fuels are responsible for almost everything you use and see. Your phone, your clothes, your food, your medicine, your EV. We aren't getting rid of them

The improvements are in pollution levels not fuel consumption...

How big and heavy is you car exactly? What car is it?

@@laszlopapp1072 Cool but it's 200 kg lighter than this one.
Can you try to do the same with 1.5 TSI?
I can definitely ask vw for that version. Would be very interesting

Great video Would the new Superb perform the same or did VW hold some of the best tech for them and Audi?
the new superb shares the production line with th passat they have the same tech
new superb is basically the same car

It's way better than hybrids in the city and uncomparable outside. Also just nicer to drive. Quieter, more refined, effortless compared to hybrids.
Would be interesting to compare an RWD version of tesla S
And a 2 liter gasoline car.

You'd have no food on your table if it weren't for millions of diesel engines prowering all the trucks and ships😊
