Test Drive Volkswagen Crosspolo since 2010 Minivan

On advanced

Wave of landscaping rapidly captures the world. In a global war with harmful emissions, VW brought to the advanced Volkswagen Polo BlueMotion

In a global war with harmful emissions, VW brought his special brigade to the forefront. People have closeed there, though friendly but mischievous.

When you read this text, the Vakhanalia Ecologists in Copenhagen will already end. From the TV will no longer broadcast about the salvation of land, environmental technologies and green movement. But do not think that you are easy to fall. Wave of landscaping rapidly captures the world. I have happened so long ago to experience the beauty of an eco-friendly future for yourself.

The new umbrella brand VW, which combined all the nature friendly technologies, is performed quite in the spirit of time. That's just the name for the new brand picked up some strange for the Russian ear. Bluemotion Technologies. Blue traffic technology?! In English, the Blue epithet is used to designate sadness, depression. And in Russia, the definition of blue somehow does not at all relate to the field of ecology.

Maybe the whole thing is that the Germans are sad because of their lag behind the Japanese in the race to the environmental future? Indeed, Toyota releases its hybrid cars with hundreds of thousands, Honda launched in small-scale production of hydrogen FCX \u200b\u200bCLARITY, and even American monstrument sizes have hybrid versions. And in Wolfsburg, there is nothing like that. The firstborn will be Touareg Hybrid, who debuts this year.


This scheme demonstrates the operation of the braking energy recuperator, which allows you to charge the battery on braking, and not on acceleration. Without going into details, I note that the system is effective even when driving around the freeway with a minimum braking

So, the situation in the battle for the ecology will not come up with worse. The enemy surrounds, but there is no heavy artillery. Under these conditions, it was decided to send the team to the forefront? Considering that green and blue together is the color of the sea wave, and let's call this advanced detachment: a brigade of the sea wave. Even poetically, it turns out. Our soldiers are armed with the most common-hand: TDI, TSI, DSG, FSI Wait-ka! And where is the ecology? It turns out that all these technologies reduce CO2 emissions and fuel consumption will answer you in Wolfsburg. Understood, gentlemen? You turn out to go to friendly ecology machines! And you, I like, and did not know. But if the struggle for the ecology was carried out only by these means, we would have long lived in the desert. Therefore, Germans have a whole range of cars with various eco-econ. ECOFUEL (engines running natural gas), Bifuel (engines working on liquefied gas), MultiFuel (engines running on ethanol) These words also from the word Bluemotion Technologies. And on top of this pyramid of modifications and technologies there is a POLO, GOLF and PASSAT BlueMotion trio, which consume 3.3 l, 3.8 l and 4.4 liters per hundred, respectively.

2010 car in Europe

Beautiful and sports even in the Bluemotion version. The color of the barrel and before us hot hatch. The design of the wheeled disks was also designed specifically to reduce air resistance. Pay attention to the rear spoiler of economical Polo: This is a small aerodynamic masterpiece. On the left dashboard Passat. Is it not true, unusually see such digits of consumption on the d-class sedan? Thanks to thanks to the tips of switching moments


This modest nameplate can now be found on any concern car. After all, almost all of them are equipped with something from the long list of environmental technologies VW

And managed to ride them. You are probably interested in the answer to the question: whether VW is lying, calling these numbers, or not. I answer: not lying. At Polo, I showed the claimed 3.3 liters, and on Passat even exceeded the factory figures per 100 milliliters of 4.3 liters. Only Golf deceived my expectations. As I tried, but less than 4 liters per hundred experts did not go down. Impressed? Of course, the VW-selected VW route with long flat straight routes, where you can safely roll 70 km / h and fifth gear. Consumption in such conditions is striving for zero.


Such a spoiler would have come to the yard and on the version of GTI

Whereby the flow has become ridiculously small? In economics 5 components: aerodynamic body kit; braking energy recovery system, whereby the battery is charging during braking, and not during acceleration; tires with low rolling resistance; system start / stop; the system prompts the optimal moment for gear changes. And, of course, the engines. On standing Polo triplex dizelek volume of 1.2 liters and 75 liters. s., and his comrades senior four turbo 1.6 liters capacity of 105 liters. with. Honestly, for the Passat engine is weak, and that's Golf, Polo and seemed quite energetic. Of course, the throttle response are not as instant as you would like, and the date at the bottom was a little, but in the character of the petrol engines almost: the moment evenly spread over the entire length of the tachometer scale, and the motor is spinning with pleasure. Can be annealed! And the appearance of all three vehicles is not peaceful: according to me, it's not the Blue, and HotMotion. Sportiness evident.


In the Passat and Golf lattice remains unchanged, but at the Polo it tightly battened down for greater streamlining

But the main source of economy of the driver himself. Stroking the gas pedal and do not trample it, get down from the hills and coast down, turn off the air conditioning finally. I do not like? Yes, I'm not thrilled, to be honest. And can we stop environmental friendliness? Gas in the floor, condos on the full! At no limit autobath Polikom accelerated to 175 km / h and goes in this mode than a dozen kilometers. Subtotal: 4.5 l / 100 km. Still negligible. So team aqua friendly nature and extreme mode.


Inside, nothing gives economical nature of the model. Only the numbers on the display of the onboard computer

But not all that great. Environmental noose around the neck continues to shrink the world's producers. All machines motors BlueMoton series comply with Euro 5, but the drive to the strict emissions standard Euro 6 with existing technologies can only be due to urea or AdBlue, as it is politically correct to call the West. And it freezes at a temperature of 11.5 C, standing in the 5070 Russian rubles per liter, and its flow rate is 6% of the diesel consumption. And without urea motor corresponds only to the standards Euro 0. My question is, how to be in Russia, VW engineers just threw up his hands so sad smile response they do not. So we seem to have to continue to breathe smoky fumes KamAZ and VAZ. And in California, incidentally, is already sold Passat BlueTDI with urea converter
