BlueMotion premieres of the Polo, Golf and Passat at IAA 2009

All three Volkswagens are the world's most fuel-efficient models in their respective size classes, and all three are celebrating world premieres as production versions at the IAA.

The new Polo BlueMotion (75 bhp) - with an average fuel consumption of just 3.3 litres diesel (equivalent to 87 g/km CO2) per 100 kilometres - is advancing to become the "3-liter fuel economy car" of the modern era and the most fuel efficient five-seater in the world.

Compared to a conventional Polo TDI with 75 bhp, CO2 emissions were reduced 20 percent, and fuel consumption was reduced by 0.9 litre per 100 km - thanks to BlueMotion­Technologies that include a new high-tech 1.2-liter TDI.

Motoring at a cost level practically as pleasing as that of the Polo is the new Golf BlueMotion (105 bhp). Thanks to its fuel consumption of just 3.8 litres diesel (99 g/km CO2) per 100 km, it is the world's most fuel-efficient car in its class. Its theo­retical range is 1,447 kilometres (55 litre tank).

The most fuel-efficient Golf of all times is powered by a new, quiet common rail turbo-diesel. Like all TDIs, this engine does not lack in power by any measure. Just the opposite is true: The 105 bhp sixteen-valve, four-cylinder engine generates its maximum torque of 250 Newton-Meters at a low 2,000 rpm.

Equipped with these key performance parameters, the engine accelerates the Golf BlueMotion to 100 km/h in just 11.3 seconds and on to a top speed of 190 km/h.

[B]Passat BlueMotion[/B]

The new Passat BlueMotion has an average fuel consumption of just 4.4 litres diesel (114 g/km CO2) per 100 km. It can theoretically cover 1,591 kilometers on one fill-up of its 70 litre tank.

The Passat shares its 105 bhp common rail TDI with the Golf BlueMotion. It sprints to 100 km/h in 12.5 seconds, and has a top speed of 193 km/h.
