The most economical five-seater in the world.
Name: Polo BlueMotion.
Consumption: 3.3 litres
CO2 emissions: just 87 g/km
Technology included: a new 1.2 litre Common Rail TDI with 55 kW / 75 hp, start-stop system and energy recuperation.
What began with the 3 l Lupo is continuing with the new “3l Polo”. This amazing fuel-sipper should make its debut at the start of 2010. Volkswagen is pulling out all the stops when it comes to efficiency with the Polo BlueMotion, which weighs just 1,080 kg. In attempting to achieve the utmost in efficiency, the model includes an aerodynamics package for the 10mm lowered chassis (including a modified front), an aerodynamically optimised underbody and low-resistance tyres on 15-inch alloy wheel rims. In total, these innovations give a fuel saving of 0.8 litres. CO2 emissions are reduced by about 20 percent.**
* The fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of a vehicle do not just depend on the efficient utilisation of the fuel by the vehicle, but are also influenced by driving style and other non-technical factors. CO2 is the greenhouse gas that is primarily responsible for global warming. The values stated were calculated according to the measuring methods specified in the currently applicable version of Directive 80/1268/EEC. The data does not relate to a specific vehicle and is not part of the specification, but is merely for the purpose of comparing different vehicle types. Information on official fuel consumption figures and the official specific CO2 emissions of new passenger cars can be found in the EU guide "Information on the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of new cars", which is available free of charge at all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Helmuth-Hirth-Straße 1,73760 Ostfildern, Germany.
