BlueMotion isn't just a single technology. It's a whole range of innovations and refinements that help you save fuel and money, without taking the fun out of driving.

BlueMotion Technologies represent the cleanest, most energy-efficient cars in our range. So when you see this logo you'll know we're talking about ways to cut your emissions and driving costs.

The Foundation Technologies

Efficiency starts at the very core of our cars with their engines and gear boxes. Innovative technologies such as TSI, TDI and DSG are major contributors to driving efficiency and set a solid foundation to develop from. They play an important part in keeping Volkswagen at the forefront of economical engineering.

Advanced engines such as the powerful TSI and the high-torque diesel TDI, ensure outstanding fuel consumption and fewer pollutants together with pure driving pleasure. The impressive DSG Dual-Clutch gearbox offers even greater fuel economy. It has the convenience of an automatic gearbox and the agility, dynamic performance and superior consumption figures of a manual gearbox. So being efficient doesn't have to take the fun out of driving.

The Innovations

Our engineers have developed a series of innovations specially geared towards conserving energy and reducing fuel costs without compromising your driving pleasure.

We've created modified engine management software that makes our engines run even more efficiently. We've also been able to reduce the engine idle speed so you emit less C02 and use less fuel. Our BlueMotion gearboxes have been reconfigured with longer ratios in higher gears for the most economical fuel consumption. Intelligent technology tells you when to change gear for optimum driving efficiency.

The innovative start/stop system turns the engine off when you're idling in traffic and restarts it when you're ready to move while the recuperation mechanism uses some energy usually lost during braking and deceleration to pass additional charge to the battery. The outside of this range is equally as crafted as the inside: from the low rolling resistant tyres which reduce road friction to the specifically designed aerodynamic styling, BlueMotion means less fuel consumption, lower emissions and a better driving experience.
