Volkswagen BlueMotion

Our BlueMotionTechnologies let you enjoy driving while knowing you’re helping to lessen your impact on the environment. The badge already identifies the cleanest, most eco-friendly cars in our range: now we’re extending it to cover all our innovative energy saving and fuel efficient technologies, such as the DSG dual-clutch gearbox and TSI and TDI engines. Why? Because when the car you drive is efficiently designed there’s no need to give up on driving excitement while being kinder to the environment.

So when you see this logo you can expect industry-leading technologies that increase efficiency, reduce emissions - and cut the cost of your driving. BlueMotionTechnologies demonstrate Volkswagen's commitment to the future.

You can feel good about driving a BlueMotion Volkswagen, knowing you've made a thoughtful choice for the environment. But straight away you'll also notice the difference to your pocket. With BlueMotion you could:

Save on fuel. The new Golf BlueMotion delivers an impressive 68.9mpg. Fewer visits to the pumps resulting in lower fuel costs.

Save on tax. The new Golf BlueMotion, with CO2 emissions of 107g/km, is in Band B with a tax duty of just £35 a year. Compare this to the annual road tax bill of more than £400 for the most highly polluting cars.

Blue - the Volkswagen colour - symbolises the elements water and air, while Motion represents a move forwards towards the future. BlueMotionTechnologies have one very important aim: to reduce the impact of our cars on the environment for future generations.

Our engineers are constantly striving to produce cleaner, more efficient cars that still offer great performance. The result of their work is an impressive range of refinements and innovations that save fuel and cut CO2 emissions. We've grouped these all together under the badge of BlueMotionTechnologies. So the environmental technologies of today are meeting the driving challenges of tomorrow.

At the heart of BlueMotionTechnologies are our advanced TDI & TSI engines and DSG dual-clutch gearbox.

TDI engines

Our Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel engines are responsive and fun to drive, as well as being very efficient. They offer more power, good fuel economy and lower emissions. We've achieved this by:

Linking the engine to longer gear ratios to cut revs and improve fuel economy.

Developing new engine management software that reduces idling speed.

Fitting a highly efficient Diesel Particulate Filter to cut emissions.
