    Merci beaucoup.
    Mais t'as pas le source officiel?

    Back to british English. ;)
    This article differs from you second post (which is quite stringent) :rolleyes:

    1) this is a full-hybrid like the Prius. :eek:
    2) it has Li-Ion batteries :eek:

    one small, irrelevant issue :rolleyes: the fine dust. Still to be solved. :p

    I will believe when I ca buy it.

    If I can't buy it, well then, it's just a nice excercise.

    I'd say the max MPG bar graph at 30 MPG is not very good! What up with that??

    today i opened the car news paper
    and found a article about the VW golf hybrid diesel
    with some more info about the power train

    -7 step DSG automatic gearbox ( double clutch )
    -3 cylinder 1,2 liter common rail diesel engine with variable geometry turbo
    55kw/75hp at 4000 rpm and 180nm from 2200 rpm
    -20kw/27hp elec motor
    -blue motion aerodynamic parts on the outside of the car
    -and a (HV) battery not stated what kind.
    -fabric on the seats are from recycled polyester and leftovers from leather production
    -parts of the dashboard made out of fast growing bamboo

    will get 3,4l/100km and a co2 of 89g/km


    a 1.2 liter 3 cyl and only a 27hp elec motor.......
    when people think a prius is slow wait for the VW golf hybrid:cool:

    it Will perform better in highway because the little engine only needs to keep the car going and when accelerating is supported by the elec motor
    only expected a bit better because the normal blue motion already got a low l/100km and this hybrid is not that advanced as the prius

    That's what I don't get.

    People keep saying the Prius is slow.. yet the Jetta diesel (PD) takes 13.3 seconds. The HCH-II is around 13 seconds too. The smart fortwo cdi is 19-22 secs (depending on source).

    No idea what the Passat TDI does. The E300 CDI is faster than the Prius and so is the E320 BlueTec but it's a lot more powerful, expensive and uses more fuel.
