Volkswagen has been working overtime to develop its BlueMotion efficiency-boosting tech for quite some years now and the Germans are obviously taking advantage of every occasion to showcase their results. Their latest effort saw them taking a Golf TDI BlueMotion on a 1,602 km trip with an average of 2.92 liters per 100 km.
We’re talking about about a journey from Nantes, France to Copenhagen, Denmark, which has been completed without touching the fuel filler cap - the feat was supervised by DEKRA.
The Golf TDI BlueMotion is powered by a four-cylinder 1.6-liter TDI unit delivering 110 HP, with the compact using a 50-liter tank.
“The "Think Blue. Eco Ride." shows that the standard consumption figure based on the NEDC driving cycle, which is already extremely low at 3.2 liters per 100 kilometers and 85 grams of CO2 per kilometer, can even be beaten. Drivers from the Volkswagen Driving Experience succeeded in reaching a verified value of 2.92 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers in normal traffic over a driving time of 20 hours and 45 minutes,” a VW statement explains
