The Passat BlueMotion has shocked the world of automobiles when it was first seen by some watchful spies. I got some information and details about the BlueMotion so that you’ll have some idea of what the car is really made of. You’ll be the judge if this VW model has the edge to be a hit in the market in the future. I hope these specifications that I posted can help you in some ways. Well, maybe in more ways than one.
Cleanliness/Eco Friendliness
The vehicle’s CO2 emissions have been extensively reduced
Matching with its low fuel utilization values is the CO2 discharge decrease of 15 g/km for the sedan and 19 g/km for the Variant.
Total emissions of 136 g/km and 137 g/km (Variant) are a demonstration to the ground-breaking potential of the Volkswagen TDI engines. In addition, a particulate filter is integrated in the emissions control system and emission parts as standard gear.
Speed
Fuel economy and CO2 data are all the more impressive, because the Passat, at a length of 4.77 meters, is among the largest vehicles in its segment.
An interesting side benefit: Its aerodynamic refinements and longer gearing have increased its top speed by five km/h. The sedan tops out at 193 km/h, and the Variant reaches 190 km/h.
Economical
The Passat BlueMotion not only protects the environment and energy resources. It also protects the car owner’s budget. At an average annual driving distance of 15,000 kilometers, fuel costs are just 68 Euros* per month due to the car’s excellent fuel economy.
A pleasant side benefit: sedan and Variant have theoretical ranges of about 1,350 on a single tank of fuel! And that translates to just eleven fill ups per year at 15,000 kilometers.
Aerodynamic
The excellent fuel economy and emission values were achieved by continuous fine tuning of the drivetrain, chassis and car body.
An example in the area of aerodynamics: The radiator grille trim was modified, and the underbody was skirted. Modifications have improved air resistance values (cW x A) by 12.2 percent for the sedan (12.5 percent for Variant) to 0.617 and 0.629 (Variant).
Lowered
Quantities of efficient adjustments were also done to the chassis. A very cautious look at the car exposes that the Passat BlueMotion "stands" to some extent has lower wheel housings than the base version; this was completed for better aerodynamics, and indeed it has been lowered 15 millimeters in front and eight millimeters in the rear. The lowest possible rolling resistance is guaranteed by high-tech tires ("best-in-class energy tires") sized 205/55 R16 91H with tire pressure increased by 0.4 bar in part-load operation.
Innovative
The 1.9 TDI of the Passat BlueMotion (77 kW / 105 PS at 4,000 rpm) increases a maximum torque of 250 Newton-meter (starting at 1,900 rpm). Its notable fuel efficiency was achieved by a alteration of wide variety of parameters on the four-cylinder, direct injection turbo-diesel engine.
A software modification to the engine controller allowed development engineers to lessen unused speed, for example. The TDI’s engine controller also outputs a "gear recommendation" to the "Multifunctional Display Plus". There the driver can convert off which of a total of five advance gears is the ideal gear at any set time.
Programs
In the summer of 2006 Volkswagen featured its first model under the new BlueMotion tag
The Polo BlueMotion Power: 59 kW / 80 PS. Fuel consumption: 3.9 liters diesel per 100 kilometers. CO2 emissions: 102 g/km. But the name BlueMotion doesn’t only imply the name as it is, but the name represents everything about the car.
"Blue", the Volkswagen color, fought for the elements to be protected: Water and air. "Motion" symbolizes the phase of forward-looking mobility heading for the future. BlueMotion is advancing to turn into a quality seal those positions for economy without negotiation in fun-driving.
