Volkswagen Golf Economy Range launched

Volkswagen has released a range of Eco cars - The VW Golf Economy Range


As is the case with all car makers these days, the economy, or ‘Eco’, range of cars are the stars – at least as far as sales go. So following on from the launch of the sixth generation VW Golf GTD recently, VW has now turned its attention to economy on the diesel, and has launched the VW Golf Economy Range – which includes a Golf BlueMotion version – all based on VW’s 1.6 litre common-rail diesel.

With the obsession by car makers with CO2 emissions (but only because Governments structure their targets on CO2 levels) the aim of these Eco Golfs is to trim CO2 levels down, and they’ve succeeded in getting the whole Golf Economy Range under 120g/km, and the Golf BlueMotion down to 107g/km.

Three versions of the 1.6 TDi are offered – a 90PS version, a 105PS version and a 105PS BlueMotion version. VW has achieved the lower emissions with aerodynamic tweaks, longer gear ratios and regenerative braking. In addition, the Golf BlueMotion also gets a lowered ride height and stop-start.

The Golf Econ0my Range is now available to order in the UK, but the Golf BlueMotion won’t actually be arriving in showrooms until September. VW has also said that an additional Golf BlueMotion – based on the Golf S – will be available later in the year and achieve CO2 levels below 100g/km.

Prices start from £15,305. Full details in the Volkswagen Golf Economy Range Press Release.
