In the battle for every gram of CO2: 99g/km has been reached. 

At Volkswagen, BlueMotion is the label for the most economic models in a class.  These models are also constantly being further developed as standing still would, of course, represent a step backwards. As a result, Volkswagen has managed to cut the already lowest consumption in the Polo class, which was achieved by the Polo BlueMotion, by one tenth of a litre to 3.8 litres. That corresponds with an emissions level of 99g/km.

Optimisation of the engine configuration was the focus of the continuing improvement work. The three-cylinder 1.4 TDI with a comparatively high torque of 195Nm allows a high gear ratio. Low wind resistance is also part of the BlueMotion philosophy. This includes good aerodynamics with a drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.30 as well as minimum rolling resistance thanks to fuel-saving tyres. The TDI powerplant that comes with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) as standard has a standard consumption of 3.8 litres per 100 kilometres (previously: 3.9 litres).

Despite its considerable economy, the Polo BlueMotion offers agile driving performance and exceptional fuel efficiency averaging 70.6mpg - 74.3mpg, depending on specification chosen.

The front of the Polo BlueMotion has been modified to greatly improve the cars aerodynamics, without sacrificing style or equipment levels.

The Polo BlueMotion will be available in two different trims and launches in the UK in August.  The Polo BlueMotion 1 will start at £11,995 and achieved 74.3 mpg on the combined cycle and 99 g/km CO2.  Owners of the Bluemotion 1 will not have to pay any road tax as it falls under tax band A.  The higher specification Polo BlueMotion 2 starts at £12,845, offers additional and can achieve 70.6 mpg on the combined cycle and 104 g/km CO2.
