More economical, more practical: the new Golf Plus BlueMotion
The new model offers even greater economy and lower carbon dioxide emissions.
Using the latest 1.6-litre common rail TDI 104 HP engine combined with a number of BlueMotion modifications, the Golf Plus BlueMotion is capable of returning 3.6 liters/100 km on the combined cycle while emitting just 114 g/km of CO2.
By comparison, the previous generation Golf Plus BlueMotion with a 1.9-litre TDI engine and 104 HP returned 4 liters/100 km while producing 127 g/km; that's an 11 per cent improvement in economy and a ten per cent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.
This frugality is thanks to a number of BlueMotion modifications including revised gear ratios in third, fourth and fifth, the addidition of low rolling resistance tyres, a Start/Stop function and regenerative braking.
The Start/Stop system allows the engine to shut down completely when the car is at a standstill before automatically restarting as soon as the clutch is depressed, ready to engage first gear and move off.
Regenerative braking helps to utilise energy that would otherwise be lost during braking, so that in deceleration and braking phases the alternator's voltage is boosted and used for bulk recharging of the car's battery.
