Powertrain Options and Availability
Volkswagen's narrow-angle 2.8-liter V6 engine was available from the start, installed in GLX sedans and wagons and producing 172 horsepower. A 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder gasoline engine went into the GLS sedan, offered only in late 1995 and '96. The Turbo Direct Injection (TDI) engine has been available since mid 1996. A 5-speed manual gearbox was standard on all models. Only gasoline engines could be equipped with an optional 4-speed automatic transmission.
