Default I thought the Touareg TDI had a V10? Maybe the 6 was also available.

The V-6 base engine with a capacity of 3 litres is one of latest designs in the engine portfolio of Volkswagen group, and otherwise found in luxury cars like Audi A 6, Audi A8 or the highly successful Volkswagen SUV "Touareg". This origin explains the extreme refinement of the engine at any power setting, made possible by its piezo controlled 3rd generation common rail injection system. The TDI 225-6 will deliver its 225 hp at 4.200 rpm, and produce 450 newtonmetres of torque at only 2.000 rpm - ideal to accelerate even heavier powerboats onto the plane.

I believe VW decided not to bring the TDI V10 to the US market, no?

Re: V10 TDI was in the Touareg here. V6 may have been a euro-only option.

I wonder if they brought a few and then pulled back. I recall them stopping the US-bound V10s
