BMW 118d wins World Green Car of the Year award
Securing this victory, BMW has continued the series of international awards for its ongoing strategy of enhanced efficiency throughout the current range of BMW Group models.
The jury, made up this year of 47 motor journalists from 24 countries, awards the title “World Green Car of the Year” to vehicles and technologies able to make a particular contribution to the reduction of emissions and thus symbolises the outstanding environmental awareness of the winning car maker. The BMW 118d convinced the experts above all through its unparalleled balance of driving pleasure on one hand, and economy on the other.
The 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine develops 143bhp and accelerates to 100 km/h in a mere 9.0 seconds. By contrast, average fuel consumption in the EU test cycle is just 4.5 litres/100 kilometres, with the CO2 rating at a mere 119 grams per kilometre.
Achieving such unique results in the “World Car of the Year” Award 2008, BMW once again proves the unique skill and competence of the company in developing cars absolutely appropriate for our day and age but nevertheless still fascinating in every respect. This is the result of a development strategy pursuing both sheer driving pleasure and consistently growing efficiency as equally important targets in today’s world.
