VW Golf Bluemotion 1.9 TDI 5dr CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 5

Dan Trent, 08 July 2008 11:30

Blue is the new green and Volkswagen's eco-friendly line-up continues to grow. Alongside the Polo and Passat, the Golf has now had the Bluemotion treatment – but at what price? If you want that silver sliver badge on the front, it'll cost you as much as £1290 over the price of a comparable regular TDI Golf. Order a five-door Golf ...

Rated 4 out of 5

Remember Volkswagen's 'one-litre' car, capable of one litre per 100km, or a scarcely credible 282mpg? Well VW has approved top-secret plans to build the limited-edition fuel miser in 2010, CAR Online can reveal. The tiny, grey cigar-shaped curiosity was a triumphal hit at the 2002 annual meeting in Hamburg and now – finally – it's heading for production. At the ...

VW Passat Bluemotion CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Richard Aucock, 24 June 2008 09:23

The Passat Bluemotion is part of a burgeoning range of eco-Volkswagens. The Polo Bluemotion started things off, but it is the dearer, more mainstream stuff  - like the Passat - that will make VW money. Indeed, UK stocks of the Passat and Golf are already sold out for months. What have they done to make Blue go green? More than ...

Arnie goes green in VW's Blue

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Schwarzenegger polishing his green credentials with a Blue? Very funny. Yes, he said he’d be back, but rather than hurtling after baddies in a Hummer, Arnold Schwarzenegger came over all green this afternoon when he checked out Volkswagen’s innovative Space Up Blue at the Los Angeles Motor Show. The California Governor was shown around the hydrogen-powered four-seater by Stefan Jacoby, ...

Volkswagen Up!

Rated 4.5 out of 5

Ben Barry, 11 September 2007 09:54

Volkswagen Up!: the lowdown Volkswagen today unveiled what it hoped will be the modern-day successor to the Beetle: the Up! concept, a small city car targeted at the young, the cash-poor, and the environmentally aware. Available with either a rear-mounted two- or three-cylinder engine, a production, rear-wheel drive Up! is expected to go on sale in global markets by 2009 ...

Volkswagen has just released details of a concept car that should take it back to its ‘people’s car’ roots. Dubbed City Expert, it will be shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. VW will also show the production Tiguan and six new Bluemotion models, but the big news is this rear-engined city car. CAR first reported VW’s plans for ...

VW Polo Bluemotion 1.4 TDi CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

VW Polo Bluemotion 1.4 TDi CAR review, 03 June 2007 02:35

If 4Motion means four-wheel drive, what’s this Bluemotion all about? Nothing to do with four-wheel drive - or going fast. It’s Volkswagen’s ecological brand applied to the most efficient and economical models in each range, so probably should have been called Greenmotion. A Passat Bluemotion was unveiled at the Geneva show and other versions will follow. So how green, sorry, ...
