With the arrival of the new 2014 Volkswagen Golf TDI BlueMotion, the company has decided to launch one of the very best and most fuel-efficient cars today.
Engine & Performance
This Golf is powered by a direct-injection turbo- diesel (TDI) engine that provides 109 horsepower. The 4 cylinder goes 73.5 mpg (3.2L/100Km); this represents a 15 % improvement in fuel economy when compared to the other models.
CO2 emissions of this car stand at about 85g/km; this is among the best values for automobiles with the combustion engines. It has top speed of about 124 mph.
A lot of work has gone into making this car’s engine efficient but the car’s mpg rating is also influenced by its aerodynamics. This car has a drag co-efficient of 0.27; this is achieved by lowering the hatchback by 15mm. The floor panels and special roof mounted spoiler contribute to this cars efficiency.
