    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
