2015 VW Golf TDI Named 2014 Northwest Green Vehicle of the Year!

Last month, Volkswagen of America, Inc. (VWoA) was pleased to announce that the all-new 2015 Volkswagen Golf TDI was named the Northwest Green Vehicle of the Year for 2014 and that it won the Alternative Fuel category by the Northwest Automotive Press Association (NWAPA) during the second annual Drive Revolution event in Portland, Oregon! Top automotive journalists from the Pacific Northwest evaluated the most technologically advanced and fuel-efficient vehicles on the market, and selected winners in four categories.

The 2015 VW Golf TDI comes powered by an EA288 TDI Clean Diesel Engine that combines performance, fuel efficiency, and value. The 2.0-liter turbocharged and direct-injection four-cylinder TDI Clean Diesel engine can be paired with a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission. It should produce 150 horsepower and 236 pound-foot of torque. Upon receiving the award, Mark McNabb, Chief Operations Officer, VWoA, had this to say:

The all-new 2015 Golf TDI combines class-leading fuel economy, more power, advanced technology, reduced emissions, all while offering a tremendous value starting $3,000 less than the outgoing model. The Northwest Green Vehicle of the Year honor validates the benefits of the Golf TDI and highlights the leadership position the Pacific Northwest has taken in embracing alternative fuel technologies like TDI Clean Diesel.
