Volkswagen press release :

World’s most fuel-efficient five-seater has 3.3-litre fuel consumption

Wolfsburg, 14 December 2009 - The redesigned Polo BlueMotion that celebrated its world premiere at this year’s Geneva Motor Show can be ordered now.

The world’s most fuel-efficient five-seater impresses with fuel consumption of just 3.3 litres per 100 kilometres. The second generation of the Polo BlueMotion can be had in Germany starting at 16,500 Euros.

Thanks to an advanced version of the three-cylinder TDI engine with 75 PS / 55 kW power and other BlueMotion-specific modifications, the new trendsetter’s fuel consumption was reduced by 22 percent (or 0.9 litre) compared to the conventional Polo with a 75 PS TDI. Accordingly, its CO2 emissions were also reduced from 109 to 87 g/km.

The Polo BlueMotion employs various detailed solutions and high-tech components to attain these top-notch low values. They include BlueMotion features such as the Stop-Start system and energy recovery by regenerative braking. In addition, the Polo BlueMotion, weighing in at just 1,150 kilograms, sports numerous modifications such as a nearly closed-off radiator grille and underbody panels designed according to aerodynamic principles and 15-inch "Greenland" type alloy wheels with low rolling resistance tyres.

Standard features were extended in the new Polo BlueMotion to include a cruise control system, leather-trimmed steering wheel and gearshift grip, tyre pressure indicator, front fog lights, sporty styling of front and rear bumpers as well as outside mirror housings and door handles painted in body colour.
