Buy soon  into the concept of sub-100g/km CO2 emissions with the Golf BlueMotion

Around mid-2009,the new concept Volkswagen Golf BlueMotion will go on sale. With a 1.6 litre TDi common rail diesel engine, this Golf will be spare on fuel at a combined 74.3 mpg ,while only emitting 99g/km of CO2. Its performance and economy matches the Polo BlueMotion which is one of the most fuel efficient cars on sale today.

Even in standard non-BlueMotion form, the new Golf with a 2.0-litre TDi 110 PS common rail engine will achieve a combined cycle 62.mpg and emissions of only 119 g/km of CO2. This model will be available from next January.

These models obtain their efficiency gains from energy-saving changes to drivetrain and aerodynamics. Low rolling resistance tyres and revised ratios in the five speed gearbox also help to reduce the loading on the engine.

It is good to see that as with every other diesel in the new Golf range the BlueMotion concept is fitted with a  particulate filter.
