What is a TSI BlueMotion?
BlueMotion technologies include products and technologies to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions. Currently, they cover the TDI (turbocharged diesel direct injection) and TSI (boosted petrol stratified direct injection) engines and the Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG). Volkswagen BlueMotion is a combination of technologies, designed to increase fuel economy and reduce emissions, which together are known as BlueMotion. These Technologies include: Start/stop technology – the engine is automatically turned off when the car’s not moving.BlueMotion is a trading name for certain car models from the Volkswagen Group, emphasizing higher fuel efficiency. BlueMotion Volkswagen Polo with a more streamlined radiator grille The BlueMotion Badge.The BlueMotion models all had efficient diesel engines with stop-start technology, low rolling-resistance tyres and unique exterior styling. In terms of the rest of their components, they were similarly specced to VW’s regular entry-level S models.
What is the fuel consumption of the BlueMotion?
Speaking of economy, the Polo Bluemotion claims 4. L/100km which isn’t too unrealistic. Given the car’s 45 litre tank, a range of over 1000km is theoretically possible. With its 50-litre fuel tank and 88. Golf BlueMotion has a theoretical range of 970 miles. Assuming an average annual driving distance of around 9,300 miles most drivers will only have to refuel 10 times a year.
Does BlueMotion save fuel?
Aerodynamic Design The smoother the airflow over your car as it goes forward, the less drag there is holding it back and the less effort is needed to move the car forward. That means better performance and lower fuel consumption from your Bluemotion Technology vehicle. BlueMotion Technologies Turbocharged engines that use extra power only when needed so fuel consumption can be lowered the rest of the time. Tyres with lowing rolling resistance mean the car is using less energy due to the drop in friction between the tyres and the road.
