Thus, the high-tech Volkswagen is approximately at a level that the EU and G8 5-States adopted only for the year 2050. The two-cylinder TDI engine develops an output of 35 kW/48 hp and a maximum torque of 120 Newton meters. Power is transmitted via a 7-speed dual clutch transmission. An electric motor provides them for other extra 20 kW/27 hp and 100 Nm torque. Thus, distances can be up to 35 kilometers purely on electricity and therefore to cover emissions. The curb weight of the vehicle is 795 kilograms.
