Petrol-powered Golf BlueMotion TSI launched

For many years diesel has been the accepted choice for car buyers seeking superior fuel economy and lower running costs. However, a growing number of high-efficiency petrol-powered models is now challenging that received wisdom.



The latest such offering is the new Volkswagen Golf BlueMotion TSI.

It's powered by a three-cylinder turbocharged EA211-series engine which displaces just 999 cc. An output of 114 bhp (85 kW / 115 PS) – plus a substantial 200 Nm (147 lb/ft) of peak torque – is sufficient for a 126 mph (204 km/h) top speed.



More importantly, the Golf BlueMotion TSI officially delivers 65.7 mpg (4.3 l/100km) on the combined cycle while emitting 99 g/km of carbon dioxide. Those figures apply to both the standard six-speed manual and optional seven-speed dual-clutch transmissions.



Other fuel-saving measures include stop-start and brake energy recovery systems. Furthermore, the aerodynamics have been improved thanks to a unique rear spoiler, a smoother front grille and a slightly reduced ride height.



In the UK, prices for the 3-door start from £19,740. The 5-door version sells for an additional £655.
