<< Steve,

that is not a 6.3 liter TDI engine, but it says " 6.3 liter (gasoline) per 100 km"

Karl, It is a picture of the TDI diesel engine, but it's a 2.5 liter. I looked a little closer and you are correct with the exception of the gasoline part. It must refer to 6.3 liter diesel.

Here's the German text as translated by Altavista:

"Altogether they have the selection between three benzin-und five diesel engines with performance outputs of 50 KW (68 HP) up to 111 KW (150 HP). Even the highest performance engines shine, e.g. the TDI engine with 111 KW (150 HP), with an exemplarily low consumption. "

Here's the complete lineup: gasoline engines (benzin): 2.0 liter 84 HP - I believe this is a 4 banger 2.5 liter 115 HP 5 cyl. 2.8 liter VR6 140 HP

diesel: 1.9 liter TD 68 HP 4 cyl? 2.4 liter 75 HP ??? 2.5 liter TDI 88 HP 5 cyl. 2.5 liter TDI 102 HP 5 cyl. 2.5 liter TDI 150 HP 5 cyl.
