Is the 2005 Volkswagen Passat TDI a gas or diesel?

Is the VW Passat a good pickup car?

When did the third generation Passat come out?
The third generation Passat was introduced in March 1988 in Europe, 1990 in North America, and 1995 in South America. The lack of a grille made the car’s front end styling reminiscent of older, rear-engined Volkswagens, such as the 411, and also doubled as a modern styling trend.
