With the arrival of the new Golf TDI BlueMotion, Volkswagen is launching one of the most fuel-efficient cars of our time. This Golf is powered by a new direct-injection turbodiesel (TDI) with 81 kW / 110 PS. The four-cylinder engine consumes only 3.2 l/100 km; this value represents a 15 per cent improvement in fuel economy compared to the already extraordinarily fuel-efficient previous model. The CO2 emissions of the Golf TDI BlueMotion stand at 85 g/km, one of the best values worldwide for automobiles with combustion engines. Despite all the efficiency: the Golf TDI BlueMotion, which has a top speed of 200 km/h, is a true five-seat multi-talent that offers safe, comfortable and agile transportation to its passengers in their professional and private lives. Refuelling becomes a minor matter: given its 50-litre fuel tank and 3.2 l/100 km fuel consumption, the Golf TDI BlueMotion has a theoretical driving range of more than 1,500 kilometres.


Aerodynamic perfection. Owing to numerous aerodynamic modifications, the Golf TDI BlueMotion achieves an excellent Cd value of 0.27. The car's excellent aerodynamics makes a decisive contribution to its low fuel consumption. Continuous progress. The first generation of the Golf BlueMotion was launched in 2007. Back then, the Volkswagen set a new benchmark for sustainability with a fuel consumption value of 4.5 l/100 km (119 g/km CO2). ” are accompanied by a driving performance that will probably be a surprise to many drivers. Take the classic overtaking situation: in 4th gear, the Golf TDI BlueMotion accelerates in just 9.0 seconds from 80 to 120 km/h. Or the 0-100 km/h sprint: this takes 10.5 seconds and proves itself as anything but slow. Maximum speed: 200 km/h indicate that the Golf TDI BlueMotion is fitted with a superb engine and that efficiency has not been bought at the expense of dynamics and comfort. New TDI engine. The 1,598 cm3 turbo direct injection engine (TDI) is a four-valve four-cylinder engine of the new EA 288 range.


It produces a powerful 81 kW / 110 PS in the engine speed range from 3,200 to 4,000 rpm. The TDI equipped with common rail injection develops a maximum torque of 250 Nm starting at 1,500 rpm. Up to 3,000 rpm, this high value is always available. As a result, the Golf TDI BlueMotion can be driven more frequently than on average with very low torques and thus in a very fuel-efficient operating range. Modified 6-speed gearbox. The engine's power is transmitted to the wheels via a 6-speed gearbox. Volkswagen engineers tuned the gearbox especially for use in the new Golf TDI BlueMotion. Among other modifications, they integrated a 6th gear with a longer ratio for lowering the torque; moreover, the gearbox works with a new fuel-efficient oil featuring a low viscosity, which heightens its effectiveness. Two equipment versions. Until now, the most fuel-efficient Golf was only offered in a single specification level. This has changed; although the new generation also features special BlueMotion details, it is always available in the two well-known equipment levels of Trendline and Comfortline.


The new Golf TDI BlueMotion leaves the Wolfsburg plant exclusively with 15-inch and 16-inch alloy wheels to optimise weight, aerodynamics and rolling resistance. “Clearwater Blue metallic” as an exclusive colour is available as an option. Golf TDI BlueMotion Trendline. Golf TDI BlueMotion Comfortline. The Comfortline level is additionally equipped with the ParkPilot system front and rear, a high-quality instrument cluster, the “Plus” multifunction display, drawers under the front seats, the new Composition Touch radio system including SD card interface and Driver Alert system. Assistance and convenience systems. A whole range of innovative assistance and convenience systems is at work aboard the new Golf TDI BlueMotion as standard or optional equipment. The Pre-Crash preventive occupant protection system, Driver Alert (standard in the Golf TDI BlueMotion Comfortline), Lane Assist, road sign recognition, the latest generation of the Park Assist as well as the automated Light Assist and Dynamic Light Assist light functions. In addition, there's a new generation of infotainment and entertainment systems.
