80.7 MPG For Volkswagon Polo BlueMotion

Theoretically the new Volkswagon Polo BlueMotion could travel up to 800 miles on one tank of diesel. Polo BlueMotion is available to order from Volkswagen Retailers today, with prices starting at £14,445 RRP on the road for the three-door, and £15,045 for the five-door model.

The new Polo BlueMotion adopts an all-new highly advanced 1.2-litre TDI three-cylinder common rail diesel engine developing 75 PS, and 133 lbs ft (180 Nm) of torque available from just 2,000 rpm. This new engine, combined with longer gearing through the five-speed manual gearbox, regenerative braking and an automatic Start/Stop system, help the new Polo BlueMotion emit just 91 g/km of CO2 while returning an impressive 80.7 mpg on the combined cycle.

It features high comfort levels with AC, power steering, cruise control, and seats that probably won't cause a need for hemorrhoids treatment.

The VW Polo is available for order now, and is expected to be at retailers sometime in May of this year.
