Volkswagen
are introducing a new petrol engine to the Golf family, offering customers even
better fuel efficiency and some great specification
As of 9 June, customers are able to order the 1.0 TSI 115PS petrol BlueMotion engine for Golf Hatch, Golf Estate and Golf SV. This frugal engine returns 65.7 mpg on the combined cycle with CO2 emissions of just 99g/km in the Golf Hatch. Also available for the first time with a BlueMotion engine is the option of a DSG automatic gearbox

Engine and economy
These cars combine the economy benefits of a diesel with the upfront price benefits of a petrol. First deliveries of these cars are due in September.
At the heart of the TSI BlueMotion is a 1.0-litre (999 cc) three-cylinder turbocharged TSI engine from the EA211 series. This generates 115PS from 5,000 to 5,500rpm, taking the car from 0 to 62mph in 9.7 seconds. Top speed is 127 mph. At 200Nm, the TSI BlueMotion has the highest specific torque of any large-scale production series of petrol engines. This is available from 2,000 rpm, though 150Nm is already delivered from just 1,500rpm.
The impressive economy of these cars is achieved through a number of aerodynamic measures, as well as substantial engine development. By lowering the chassis by 15mm, adapting the radiator grille, optimising the cooling airflow and fitting special underfloor panels and a rear spoiler, the Golf TSI BlueMotion’s Cd value (drag) has been reduced to 0.28 (from 0.29 in the standard Golf). The car also features super low rolling resistance tyres.
The engine incorporates an ultra-rigid crankcase made of lightweight die-cast aluminium. Its compact construction with three cylinders make the 1.0-litre TSI around 15kg lighter than a comparable four-cylinder engine. The exhaust manifold has been fully integrated into the cylinder head and fitted with a cooling jacket to make the best possible use of exhaust gas energy during the warm-up phase and to cool the exhaust gases even more effectively at high loads.
The TSI BlueMotion is also fitted with a toothed belt which, compared to a chain drive, reduces friction by around 30 per cent. The maximum injection pressure of the 1.0-litre TSI is high for a petrol at 250bar, and advanced five-hole solenoid injectors ensure precise fuel injections and faster energy conversion.
