7th-Gen Golf Adopts Jetta Turbo Engine
5-07-19 Tech Talk
~ Recorded Live from KOWS FM 92.5 ~
The 7th generation Golf – now in its fourth year – continues to evolve, adopting the 1.4-liter four-cylinder TSI engine found in its all-new 2019 Jetta sibling. A leap of faith for Volkswagen, one might argue, but Tech Talk commentator Rick DeMeis sings the praises of this smaller turbocharged powerplant that bestowed better than 40 mile-per-gallon fuel efficiency in his test drives – a tad greater than official ratings.
Tech Talk is a weekly feature on KOWS 92.5 FM radio Newtopian Dream program hosted by RT Newt.
