VW Polo BlueMotion: Set to preview at the Eden project

The VW Polo BlueMotion is set to premier at the Eden project in Cornwall, UK.

The Sexy Green Car Show, set to run between March 30 and April 15, is believed by its organisers to be the first event of its kind. Featuring a selection of the most advanced and efficient vehicles in the world, the show marks the first public appearance of the Polo BlueMotion in the UK.

The new Polo BlueMotion features revised aerodynamics, a low kerb weight, hard compound tyres to reduce rolling resistance and lightweight wheels to maximise efficiency. These in turn are mated to an advanced three-cylinder diesel engine linked to optimised gear ratios to deliver significant gains in economy and a reduction in emissions. The result is a combined 72 mpg and only 102 g/km of CO2. The theoretical range of the Polo BlueMotion is in excess of 700-miles.
