The new Volkswagen Bluemotion

July 8th, 2009

If you like Volkswagen Golfs and are concerned about the environment then the new Golf will suit you down to the ground. Scheduled to hit the UK in September, the 105 PS Golf BlueMotion with 1.6 litre TDI diesel engine has better fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions then other golfs.

Many motorists would be able to reduce the amount of money they spend at the pump due to the 68.9mpg. It would also qualify for the £35 a year road tax due to CO2 emissions of 107 g/km.

A review on Autoexpress gave the Volkswagen Golf Bluemotion a 4 out of 5 calling it Volkswagen’s answer to the Toyota Prius.

Unlike the Toyota Prius and the Honda Civic Hybrid, the VW Bluemotion is purely diesel which some critics say produces other damaging pollutants known as particulates, however in terms of emissions the VW Bluemotion beats them handsdown.
