2021 VW Golf 8 2.0 TDI 6-Speed Manual (115 PS) TEST DRIVE

[@vmaks_official]

Displacement 2000ccm, 115 ps and 300 nm. This might be the most reliable 2.0 tdi in the future. Drove one. Average consumption of 5,1 l/100 km.

[@francesco96frcs50]

That's a waste for a 2000 to only have 115 ps. I didn’t get the choice made to throw away the 1.6l Di for that power it was much more focused

[@vmaks_official]

@@francesco96frcs50 This is the right amount of power for that engine, 115, 150 ps. Anything over, a little too much already. But thats only my opinion. Its not always like this but usually the less power you have, the longer the engine is going to last.

[@GDZLLR]

@@francesco96frcs50 115 hp from a 2 liter engine is better than having them from a 1.6. Bigger displacement means faster and more relaxed, better power delivery, not to mention fuel economy might be on par if not better than the 1.6 TDI

[@vmaks_official]

@@GDZLLR Exactly right.

frankly a huge success from Volkswagen and the Germans 🇩🇪+🇫🇷=❤️ greetings from France

[@krokodil9096]

The only good thing about this car is upsizing engine displacement.

[@ignaziorabboni7131]

GREATEST AND WONDERFUL!!

[@bloffama]

Just a remap and it goes to 180/190(it lacks something compared to the 2.0 150 and reaches less hp)

[@emanuelegagliardi2933]

with 15 20 km of straight line 220 takes them my giulietta 1.6 120 hp I did them in just 15 km 220

[@Mr11ESSE111]

minus 15-20kmh because of lying speedometer

[@pimbech]

I have mk7, and that looks way better from the inside

[@alessandrogiusti9495]

It is better

Please try to test drive the new VW touareg 3.0 turbo Petrol 340 hp.

Nice bro

[@SangalDigital]

what do the driving modes do on a manual car? comfort, eco, sport and so on.. i thought those were only on the dsg ones

[@TESTDRIVEFREAK]

gaspedal responde, at eco you can push lot but it will accelerate less, at sport if you push at gaspedal a bit gas goes faster. And steering wheel soft or sporty.

[@jellyd4889]

This is badly designed. Or... it is only designed to cruise at 120kmh and higher. I have one. I used to have an Audi A3 1.6 tdi with 110hp. That used to drive smoothly at low revs with no exhaust farting at those low approx 1100 rpm revs. I used to get 3.5-3.7 l /100 km with that combination. This golf 8 motor and exhaust combination is badly suited for low revs. The whole drive train shudders when driving at the same 1100 rpm, however the computer recommends that rpm and when you change up to a smooth rpm (at Least 1500 rpm) then it says to change down to save fuel... the it does the exhaust farty thing. Which causes vibrations through the drive train and parts will break or get cracks sooner rather than later.. so with the Golf 8 I am requiring a whole Liter more than the Audi per 100km. No change in driving style . To stop the droning you simply have to drive with higher revs... which costs diesel. Crap. They spent NO money on this motor and exhaust combination.

[@aidan1585]

You are wrong, with the 5-speed 1.6 TDI, yes you change earlier, you don't change at such low revs in a 6-speed manual!

Incredibly fuel economy.

Hi und hallo, super Video, vielen, vielen Dank und Daumen hoch Gruß von BGS Hilden

[@metalmaniac8260]

This 2.0 115 has the same performance of 1.6 tdi 115?

[@21knight36]

Yes

[@Corsa15DT]

by the looks of this video, much better?

[@stoneeh]

How about some actual driving, on a channel that has "test drive" in its name?

[@dirkmarquardt466]

Shifting a little bit early.

[@aidan1585]

No the shifts are fine, it makes 115hp from 3250-4000rpm, changing at 4500-5000rpm make the 0-100 time 10.5 seconds..
