POLO Gives BlueMotion

POLO Gives BlueMotion

Date: 2015-09-11
The new Polo model range is now complete with the introduction of the 1.0 TSI BlueMotion - the first Volkswagen BlueMotion with TSI engine, 1.4 TDI engines and GTI with manual transmission. The refreshed Polo was launched in June 2014 with the introduction of fuel efficient four-cylinder 1.0 TSI engines and class leading driver assistance systems such as Automatic Post-Collision Braking and Fatigue Detection. For the interior, new instrument cluster and infotainment system were also introduced.

With the introduction of the Polo TSI BlueMotion,Volkswagen has succeeded in optimising the already economical TSI engine in the new Polo model range. The improvements to the engine management system have made it possible to reduce fuel consumption by a further 0.7 litres to 4.2 l/100 km when compared to the entry level 1.2 TSI 66 kW (4.9l/100km) and emissions to only 97g/km (117 g/km) CO2. Similar to other Polo hatch derivatives available in South Africa, the Polo TSI BlueMotion also complies with the EU4 emissions standard. The new three-cylinder engine with a one litre displacement delivers 70 kW and can reach a top speed of 191km/h.

Apart from the first use of the highly efficient engine, the excellent fuel consumption figures were also the result of lowering the ride height and improving the aerodynamics over the radiator grille and the underbody. Furthermore, the Polo TSI BlueMotion also benefits from reduced rolling resistance tyres and longer gear ratios in the upper transmission stages. Other factors contributing to greater driving economy are the stop/start system, regenerative braking and a gear-change indicator for the driver.

The new Polo comes standard with a 3 year/45 000km Service Plan, 3 year/120 000km warranty and a 12 year anti-corrosion warranty. Service interval is 15 000km.
