New Polo 'cleaner than a Prius'

• Polo BlueMotion has CO2 emissions of 102g/km • Lower emissions than a Prius hybrid • On sale next year for around £10K

A new Volkswagen Polo which boasts fewer CO2 emissions than a Toyota Prius will go on sale in the UK next year.

VW claims the Polo BuleMotion is the most economical five-seater in Europe, emitting 102g/km – 2g/km less than Toyota's electric-hybrid.

The Polo uses a three-cylinder 1.4 direct-injection turbodiesel engine and has a combined fuel consumption of 72.4mpg.

It achieves greater efficiency than a normal TDI version using improved aerodynamics, low-resistance tyres and a gearbox with longer ratios.

The car has an uprated front spoiler and the addition of a rear spoiler and a smoother radiator grille to improve aero efficiency.

It also has a diesel particulate filter to help pump out cleaner exhaust fumes and a exhaust gas recirculation, which ultimately reduces nitrous oxide emissions.

The BlueMotion goes from 0-62mph in 12.8sec and on to a top speed of 109mph. Its 45-litre tank gives the car a theoretical range of more than 710 miles. Prices are expected to start at just over £10,000.

Also, this Polo is a beauty queen compared to the Prius.

Everytime I see a Prius, which isn't often (thank God), I want to blow it up with an RPG.

Once it has been posted, I will.

Autospies is slow and unreliable because you need to submit articles and Agent001, the site manager, has to review them first. Sometimes, he won't even post them.
