Volkswagen Golf BlueMotion

Volkswagen today launched one of the world’s most fuel-efficient family cars: the new Golf BlueMotion. The super frugal family-hatch offers fuel economy of 88.3 mpg and CO2 emissions of just 85 g/km. 

With its 50-litre fuel tank and 88.3 mpg fuel consumption, the new Golf BlueMotion has a theoretical range of 970 miles. Assuming an average annual driving distance of under 10,000 miles, most drivers will only have to refuel 10 times a year.

All this good news is achieved by super low rolling resistance tyres and longer gear ratios for the smooth six-speed manual gearbox and the now ubiquitous Stop/Start feature.

At the heart of the new Golf BlueMotion is a 1.6-litre 110 PS common rail TDI engine.
