In a world where environmental issues have become everyone’s concern, it’s important that we all do our bit to be kinder to the environment. New BlueMotion Technologies from Volkswagen, now available for the first time in South Africa, is designed to help you do just that. The rest is up to you.

The real benefit of BlueMotion lies in the sum of its parts. With a host of changes, improvements and new technologies, BlueMotion vehicles can deliver up to a 10% reduction in fuel and emissions - depending on individual driving style.

Over time, every bit counts. That’s the heart of the BlueMotion ‘Think Blue’ brand philosophy – not only a commitment to be kinder to the planet, but also the perfect embodiment of Volkswagen’s goal to be the most responsible and innovative volume car brand in the world.

And we’re getting there, one step at a time.

The BlueMotion Badge
The BlueMotion badge identifies the cleanest cars in our range, incorporating many different energy-saving features. It's kinder to the environment and better for your wallet.

Low Rolling Resistance
The BlueMotion range is fitted with low rolling resistance tyres, resulting in excellent performance, saving fuel and helping to cut emissions.

Recuperation
Recuperation reduces the alternator voltage charging the battery during acceleration. Voltage is increased during deceleration, converting energy from kinetic to electrical.

Stop-Start Technology
Stop-Start technology reduces CO2 emissions and saves you fuel by seamlessly switching off your engine when idling. To move off again, you simply engage the clutch and the engine restarts.

Aerodynamics
BlueMotion cars are more streamlined in design, with sculpted grilles and spoilers to reduce drag and narrower gaps between panels. The result? Better performance and lower fuel consumption.

TDI/TSI Engines
TDI diesel engines are powerful yet fuel efficient, thanks to longer gear ratios and new engine management software. TSI engines are smaller and lighter, reducing fuel consumption while giving maximum pulling power.
