The cleanest and most fuel
efficient versions of the
Scirocco and Passat CC yet
produced have been unveiled in
the form of BlueMotion
Technology models.
As
with all of Volkswagen’s
BlueMotion Technology vehicles,
the new Scirocco and Passat CC
variants combine efficiency with
comfort and refinement to create
cars that deliver greater
economy and fewer emissions, yet
which remain conventional to
drive, service and maintain.
All entry-level Scirocco and GT
trim models with the 2.0-litre
140 PS engine now feature
BlueMotion Technology
modifications including
Stop/Start and battery
regeneration systems to help to
create the cleanest and most
fuel efficient Scirocco to
date. The models, available
with a six-speed manual or
optional six-speed DSG gearbox,
offer savings through increased
fuel economy, improved from 55.4
mpg to 62.8 mpg on the combined
cycle (51.4 to 57.6 DSG), and
lower emissions, down from 134
g/km to 118 g/km (145 to 129 DSG)
to allow all BlueMotion
Technology Sciroccos to drop two
tax brackets over previous
models.
Volkswagen has also announced
revisions to the 2.0-litre TDI
170 PS engine fitted to the
Scirocco GT, which result in
fuel economy figures improving
to 55.4 mpg from 53.3 mpg (50.4
to 51.4 DSG) and CO2
emissions reducing from 139 to
134 g/km (147 to 144 for DSG)
.
The Passat CC line-up has also
been updated and sees BlueMotion
Technology models join the range
in place of existing diesel
versions. As with the Scirocco
range, the new additions to the
Passat CC range have been
modified to optimise efficiency
and economy, with regenerative
braking and Start/Stop systems
fitted to the four-door coupé
for the first time.
These revisions help the
2.0-litre TDI 140 PS Passat CC
models achieve a combined 60.1
mpg, up from 50.4, and CO2
emissions are cut to just 125
g/km, down from 146 g/km. The
more powerful 2.0-litre diesel
engine in the range producing
170 PS also boasts improved
figures with economy up to 57.6
mpg (51.4 DSG) and emissions
down to 129 g/km (144 DSG).
