| Volkswagen Passat BlueMotion |
Powering the Passat BlueMotion is VW's 104-horsepower, 1.6-liter common-rail turbodiesel engine mated to a row-your-own six-speed transmission. The diesel-sipping sedan benefits from fuel-saving features, including stop-start technology, modified aerodynamics, a lower ride height, an underbody panel, revised front grill and low rolling-resistance tires.
In sedan form, the BlueMotion Passat emits 109 grams per kilometer of CO2. Meanwhile, its roomier stablemate, the Passat BlueMotion wagon, emits 113 g/km of CO2 and returns a slightly less remarkable, by comparison, 65.7 mpg (54.7 U.S.).
The four-door sedan starts at £19,875 ($31,713 U.S. at the current exchange rate), while the cargo-hauling wagon starts at £21,180 ($33,795 U.S.). Though you can order one now, neither version of the Passat BlueMotion will hit showrooms in Europe until the end of July.
Volkswagen has already announced today that one of their VW Passat BlueMotion managed to go 2456.872 km or 1,526.63 miles on one tank of fuel. This is the new official Guinness World Record for the longest distance traveled by a standard production passenger car on a single tank of fuel. The VW Passat BlueMotion that traveled for almost 2,500 km on one tank started its journey from Madison in Kent, went to the South of France and then returned.
