Volkswagen will unveil a super-efficient hybrid diesel-electric Golf (or Rabbit in America) at the Geneva International Motor Show in a few weeks. According to rumor running on the Internet, the latter will have a fuel consumption of only 3,4 l / 100km (69.2 mpg) and will emit as little as 89 grams of CO2 per kilometer. Too good to be true?
According to Motor Authority, the car that will be presented in Geneva would be very close to the production model, but Volkswagen will present it in Geneva as a concept vehicle. Thus, the manufacturer intends to present several other versions before starting production. Moreover, according to 4Car, VW will probably seek to recoup its investments and will extend this technology to several models of the VAG group, such as the Jetta, the Passat, the Tiguan, the Audi A3 and Q5.
Obviously, the engine of this hybrid diesel-electric Golf will meet all the Euro 5 emission criteria and the rigorous Tier2 Bin5 standards in the United States.
Volkswagen therefore promises a very exciting Geneva Motor Show, with the unveiling of the Scirocco production vehicle, a Passat Flex-Fuel E85 and CleanTDI versions of the Sharan and the Passat CC.
