Under the bonnet of the Volkswagen Golf Mk5 1.9 diesel sits a 1.9-litre diesel engine, good for 77 kW (105 PS).

It opens the Golf Mk5 range: of the 2 diesel versions, it has the least power, and the 2.0 diesel (103 kW) offers 34% more. On top of that, it is the most economical (5.0 l/100 km). In figures, it sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 11.3 s, tops out at 187 km/h, tips the scales at 1,326 kg and offers 79 PS per tonne. Rivals worth a side-by-side look against the Golf Mk5 1.9 diesel: the Ford Focus or the Kia Ceed.
