VW extends their green BlueMotion concept to the Passat

Last year, Volkswagen premiered the innovative BlueMotion notion which delivered an ultra-fuel efficient Polo that does not forgo driving delight. If you liked the compact Polo with 59kW/80 hp output and a fuel consumption rate of 3.9lit/100 km, then you might be interested in the new Passat Blue Motion. The new ride will be unveiled in March this year at the Geneva Motor Show.
The VW folks are not exactly promising us heaven, but they claim that no other vehicle of its size that can match its performance and efficiency. How about this for a little chest thumping? A sedan with a 5.1liters/100 km (55.4mpg) consumption rate, 137g/km of CO₂ emissions, 77kW/105 bhp 4-cylinder TDI engine and 120mph (192 km/h) top speed. The estate variant has a top speed of 190 km/hr. What about 840 miles of fun-driving in between fueling stops? Yeah, you heard me right. I said the full tank will keep you cruising for a cool 1,350 km! That roughly sums up to about 15,000 km a year. Depending on where you live, you could be spending as little as 68 Euros* a month. They are now even talking of fueling your ride 11 times a year. Don’t worry coz the Passat remains as agile as ever. That’s what this BlueMotion idea is all about: environment-friendly, economical, fuel-efficient, agility and unmatched driving pleasure.
