2011 Volkswagen Multivan BlueMotion updates - Volkswagen has unveiled the Multivan BlueMotion, a seven-seater Multivan which features clean BlueMotion technology emitting 169g CO2 per kilometer and constitutes the brand’s most fuel-efficient Multivan ever with 6.4 l/100 km fuel consumption. The Multivan BlueMotion will be incorporated into Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ model range starting this spring.
The Multivan BlueMotion sets itself apart from other vehicles in the range through the model’s exclusive Glacier Blue Metallic paintwork – including for wing mirrors and door handles. Also recognizable by the BlueMotion lettering on front and back and in the tread board lights, standard on 16-inch alloys with tyres that have particularly low rolling resistance. The Multivan BlueMotion interior differentiates itself with special seat covers in the ‘Scout’ design.
Compared to its counterpart with the comparable engine specification from the current range (75 kW TDI), at just 6.4 l/100 km the Multivan BlueMotion needs 0.9 liters less diesel (emitting 169 rather than 193 g/km of CO2). This has been achieved by means of an efficient, high-torque common rail four cylinder engine combined with a Stop/Start system, battery regeneration, tyres with particularly low rolling resistance and special aerodynamic measures.
The 2.0 TDI engine in the Multivan BlueMotion produces 84 kW / 114 PS in power and develops a maximum torque of 250 Newton meters from just 1,500 rpm. This frugal and simultaneously both powerful and comfortable powertrain enables fine driving performance carrying up to seven people, while maintaining minimal fuel consumption.
The Stop/Start system, which is fully intuitive to use, works in a much uncomplicated way: the Multivan BlueMotion driver approaches a red light, slows to a stop, shifts to neutral and takes his or her foot off the clutch. This immediately turns the engine off. The Stop/Start system makes an appreciable contribution toward improved fuel economy. 2011 Volkswagen Multivan BlueMotion
