 New Polo 'cleaner than a Prius' • Polo BlueMotion has CO2 emissions of 102g/km • Lower emissions than a Prius hybrid • On sale next year for around £10K A new Volkswagen Polo which boasts fewer CO2 emissions than a Toyota Prius will go on sale in the UK next year. VW claims the Polo BuleMotion is the most economical five-seater in Europe, emitting 102g/km – 2g/km less than Toyota's electric-hybrid. The Polo uses a three-cylinder 1.4 direct-injection turbodiesel engine and has a combined fuel consumption of 72.4mpg. It achieves greater efficiency than a normal TDI version using improved aerodynamics, low-resistance tyres and a gearbox with longer ratios. The car has an uprated front spoiler and the addition of a rear spoiler and a smoother radiator grille to improve aero efficiency. It also has a diesel particulate filter to help pump out cleaner exhaust fumes and a exhaust gas recirculation, which ultimately reduces nitrous oxide emissions. The BlueMotion goes from 0-62mph in 12.8sec and on to a top speed of 109mph. Its 45-litre tank gives the car a theoretical range of more than 710 miles. Prices are expected to start at just over £10,000. Source: - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER |

Also, this Polo is a beauty queen compared to the Prius.  Everytime I see a Prius, which isn't often (thank God), I want to blow it up with an RPG. |

 Autospies is slow and unreliable because you need to submit articles and Agent001, the site manager, has to review them first. Sometimes, he won't even post them.  | |
