VW are claiming that the new 7-speed DSG will make the facelift GTD slightly more fuel efficient and use less CO2.
Lets hope they are telling the truth and these figures will be achievable in the real world.
For those that are interested in performance - torque remains at 380Nm, 0-62 changes from 7.5 to 7.4 (I doubt if that will be noticable
)
On the left are the old figures and on the right are the new figures. The 06 addendum are for the standardised EU figures -
... it may be hard to read those figures off the screen shot
Urban - old 5.7, new 5.4 = 50mpg up to 52mpg
Extra- urban - old 4.4, new 4.2 = 64mpg up to 67mpg
Combined - old 4.8, new 4.6 = 59mpg up to 61mpg
C02 - old 127, new 122
Not much change but VW are saying these figures should be more achievable in the real world.
