VW Golf Bluemotion 2009
September 19, 2008 by admin
This is Volkswagen’s Bluemotion concept car that will be it’s cleanest Mk6 Golf. They claim it will achieve 74mpg while puffing out a paltry 99g/km. Those are figures on a par with today’s Polo Bluemotion, but this concept will become production reality in mid-2009.
The clever tech in this VW Golf Bluemotion is a 1.6-litre common-rail diesel engine, producing 104bhp and 184lb ft, but those remarkable figures are helped by revised ratios on the five-speed ‘box, optimised aerodynamics and low rolling resistance tyres. There’s also a particulate filter to keep the exhaust gases clean.
Eco-conscious Golf buyers must make do with a 2.0-litre TDI for now, but it’s figures are not to shabby at 62mpg and 119g/km, but the Golf Bluemotion is due go on sale in the summer of 2009, priced from around £15,500.
