Four world premieres for Volkswagen at the Geneva Motor Show
Volkswagen will have four world premieres at the Geneva Motor Show: Scirocco, Golf TDI Hybrid, Passat Estate TSI EcoFuel and Sharan BlueMotion.
Scirocco
The first-generation Scirocco made its public debut at Geneva 34 years ago. Now Volkswagen is pleased to announce the comeback of its legendary two-door sports coupé. Beneath striking new styling lies the most dynamic and technologically advanced production hatchback Volkswagen has ever built. At UK launch in September this year, the Scirocco will be available with a 2.0-litre T-FSI petrol unit producing 200 PS, with prices starting at around £20,000.
Golf TDI Hybrid
Volkswagen engineers rose to the challenge of creating a viable, highly-efficient family vehicle capable of emitting less than 90 g/km of CO2 by creating the Golf TDI Hybrid concept, a car which combines an advanced 1.2-litre 75 PS diesel engine with an electric motor and the very latest generation of seven-speed DSG gearbox. It is capable of achieving 83 mpg on the combined cycle and emits just 89 g/km of CO2 – while around town the vehicle reverts to purely electric mode to be emission-free.
The Passat Estate TSI EcoFuel
Marking a new era for natural gas-fuelled cars, the Passat is both a ‘mean machine’ as well as a ‘green machine’. It features a 150 PS TSI engine which has been specifically designed to run on natural gas, and consumes no more than 5.2 kilogrammes of gas per 100 kilometres.
Sharan BlueMotion
The expansion of the BlueMotion label – which denotes the most efficient model in each of Volkswagen’s passenger car ranges – continues with the unveiling of a Sharan BlueMotion at Geneva. It is set to join the Sharan line-up later this year, with impressive fuel consumption and CO2 emissions for a car of this size.
