A cleaner, greener driving future

We care as much as you do about the environment so we design our cars to have minimal impact on it at every stage: during manufacture, while on the road and at the end of their lives.

Of course, we also want you to enjoy driving your Volkswagen. That means our engineers are constantly working to produce cars that offer great performance with better fuel economy and fewer harmful emissions. Our Golf BlueMotion SE for example, is currently one of the most fuel efficient cars of it class, with CO2 emissions of just 107g/km thanks to its start/stop technology and regenerative braking, meaning you pay just £35 a year in road tax.

We also use recycled and recyclable materials where possible and the most environmentally friendly construction techniques.

So when you decide to drive one of our cars you can feel you're making a choice for a better future, too.
