Is there official word about releasing a 3.0 Diesel in America? I want to want the 2.0 Diesel, but I'm hesitant because I fear it'll feel underwhelming, especially for a car witch such a high price tag. I do a lot of highway driving, and I've read mixed reviews about the power.
I have driven the 3.0 TDI in the VW Touareg which was nothing short of impressive. It always has power to spare whether climbing mountains or passing on the highway. My 2015 VW Golf TDI has a 0-60 of 8.4, which honestly sometimes isn't enough, but I can't complain because the golf does cruises the highway like an absolute champ, even at 100+ mph. (I was fortunate enough to drive it in Germany for a year). It has a wonderful power band.
But 0-60 of 8.2 seconds concerns me in the F-Pace, especially translating that into passing power on the highway. I'd buy one of these in a second with a 3.0 Diesel, even if it is the S model.
