Volkswagen Polo BlueMotion

Quote:
Volkswagen Polo BlueMotion, the second generation of this trendsetter, with a combined fuel consumption of just 3.3 litres diesel (equivalent to 87 g/km CO2!) per 100 kilometres, is aiming to become the "3-litre fuel economy car" of the modern era and the most economical five-seater in the world. Its 45 litre fuel tank enables a theoretical driving range of 1,363 kilometres! This makes the commute to work, driving holiday or long weekend affordable again. A person driving from Hanover - the site of the press presentation for the new Volkswagen Polo BlueMotion - to Venice can cover the 1,148 kilometre journey for just 40 Euros in fuel costs. That is because 100 kilometres cost just 3.50 Euros in the Volkswagen Polo BlueMotion. Another measure of cost effectiveness: according to the German Federal Bureau of Statistics, the average German car driver covers a total of 11,000 kilometres per year. For VW Polo BlueMotion owners this means that they only require eight fill-ups per year at a fuel cost of 385 Euros.

"BlueMotion" is the best known German automotive environmental label. It debuted in 2006 with the first generation of the Volkswagen Polo BlueMotion, and its combined fuel con sumption figure of just 3.9 litres per 100 kilometres was the best in the world for a five-seat car. At the same time, this Volkswagen Polo represented the beginning of a product offensive being conducted today under the "BlueMotion-Technologies" umbrella brand, which is as unique as it is successful.

Top Gear's Richard Hammond drove this from somewhere in Switzerland to Blackpool, UK (about 700 miles) in a single tank!

The only place where he didn't use the car is crossing the channel tunnel.

Although i cannot relate to this car AT ALL, i understand the point and the facts are impressive. i just stated that the design of the car is ugly. i think they could have designed the car a little better. i understand a fuel efficient and economical car will never be a design marvel like an aston martin, but they still could have made it better looking.

If you're an average German driver. I think the average American drives a lot further than the average German. But yeah, 70mpg would be pretty tits.

Not saying much...like being more attractive than the elephant man. It's not bad looking for such a small car.
