Few days back, Ford also announced that the company would soon extinct the conventional engines from its lineup. Now, Volkswagen has become the second manufacturer to remove all its conventional and naturally aspirated engines with turbocharged ones. It is also expected that the automakers in North America will offer 3 million gasoline and diesel powered vehicles with turbocharged engines in 2013.
The major reason behind this step is the fuel efficiency, where turbocharger scores big compared to naturally aspirated engines. This is all what we have for now, stay tuned to CarDekho for more updates on the same.
