VOLKSWAGEN will also be going green with the release of its second generation Blue Motion Rabbit Volkswagen Golf. Despite the fact that this diesel model will initially be available on affordable Car Loans and Car Credit finance in Germany, Americans can also hope to see it on their roads pretty soon. It all depends on how quickly Americans take to diesel as this TDI powered Volkswagen beauty has many features that spell economy, with the novel brake energy regeneration innovation being the pick.
The Golf Blue Motion also has a start/stop utility that goes into operation at traffic lights by automatically switching off the engine, saving on valuable gas. Moreover the gear optimization unit helps you maintain the right cog for maximum benefit. Fuel optimization and economy is also gained through the light weight wheels set in tyres that offer very low resistance and through a reduction in the height.
These changes enable the Volkswagen Golf Blue Motion to extract the best out of its 1.6 litre TDI engine and the five speed gear box. At a very economical delivery of just 105 HP, this modern day vehicle makes use of advanced particulate filters that are now available along with efficient exhaust systems to prevent any soot accumulation.
This Volkswagen model is thus a very practical option to get around the city.
