2.0 TSI discontinued in Sweden

Post by eikido »

I see that the 2.0 TSI has been discontinued in Sweden.

Only 1.4 TSI and 2.0 TDI are available. Then we have the TSI R too.

Why would they do that?

Discounted? You mean discontinued eikido? :)

Not sure why it would be discontinued, I thought for a moment it could be to do with CO2 emissions, but if they are continuing the 'R', that throws that one out of the window. Absolutely no idea I'm afraid.

Maybe the 2.0 TSI is a poor seller in Sweden? I am sure it will be to do with tax implications/emissions and so on. If the R is being continued, maybe VW still see sufficient demand in your market to continue with it.

My guess is that it may come back with the next generation model with lower emissions.
