At the upcoming Frankfurt Auto Show (September 17-27, 2009) Volkswagen will be debuting updated versions of its Euro-spec Polo, Golf and Passat diesels
Power for the new 2010 Volkswagen Polo BlueMotion comes from a 75-hp 1.2L TDI. Along with some BlueMotion fuel-saving technologies the Polo BlueMotion returns an estimated fuel-economy of 3.3 liters per 100 km (or 71 mpg in U.S. terms).
The Volkswagen Golf BlueMotion is powered by a new common-rail 4-cylinder turbo-diesel making 105-hp with a maximum torque of 184 lb-ft. 0 to 62 mph takes a slow 11.3 seconds, however, fuel-economy is estimated at 3.8 liters per 100 km (62 mpg in U.S. terms).
Last but not least, the Volkswagen Passat BlueMotion is powered by the same 105-hp common-rail turbo-diesel from the Golf BlueMotion. That allows the very green Passat to go from 0 to 62 mph in 12.5 seconds. Fuel-economy is estimated at 4.4 liters per 100 km (54 mpg).
