Volkswagen is unveiling three new cars it claims are the most efficient in the world in their respective classes. There are no prizes for the gusses since they are the three popular Volkswagen cars – the Polo, Golf and Passat Bluemotion.
The three Volkswagen cars claim to offer class leading fuel economy and emissions figures.
These stats would make the three cars the most efficient in each of their classes, and make the Polo the lowest emitting car available, beating the Smart diesel’s 88g/km and the new Toyota Prius at 89g/km.
All three cars are due to go on sale in the UK next spring, with the Passat arriving first, followed by the Golf, with the Polo coming third.

New Volvo C70
A revamped Volvo C70 four-seater convertible will be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show this month.
Volvo C70 represents a stylish convertible cruiser rather than a convertible sports car. The C70 is based on the same platform as the Volvo V70 estate and is destined to spend most of its time crusing around town or on long motorway treks.
It’s the first time the folding-hard top has been redesigned since it was launched in 2006. The design changes bring it in line with the look of the latest Volvo models.
Lookwise, it looks very sty;ish with a new nose and bolder face – taking its inspiration from the S60 concept car unveiled earlier in the year. Read more about the new Volvo C70
