The Volkswagen Polo Blue GT is this car manufactures answer
to the green movement that has seemingly taken over the world. The engineers at
Volkswagen call their innovations bluemotion and it basically means that the
Polo Blue GT was designed with several technologies that puts it in the same
eco-friendly category as most of today’s hybrid powered vehicles on the market.
One of those technologies is call cylinder deactivation and
it in essence turns a four cylinder engine into a two cylinder and therefore
reducing the fuel consumption and overall emissions exponentially. Even though
it is capable of saving fuel, it is still able to register pretty amazing speed
numbers; 137 mph and 0-62mph in 7.2
seconds.
Under the
Hood
While it is capable of using fuel conservatively, but it
still packs a pretty good punch with the 1.4litre turbocharged four cylinder.
It was designed to keep pace with most
of the other cars in class and the 148bhp and 184lb ft of torque will help a
lot in that department. It features a 7-speed automatic transmission.
Inside
and Out
While it definitely has some power under the hood, it is
equally impressive inside and out. The tall 17” wheels and tires give it all
the grip you need on road. It has well tuned suspension that helps with the
quick cornering which compares favorably with many of the cars in its class.
Thanks to a bit of update in engineering, the designer
stepped up the exterior look and it really lives up to the GT on its nameplate.
Along with the aforementioned 17” wheels, it has newly redesigned bumpers and
side skirts as well as new dual tail pipes.
The interior is fairly comfortable with a combination of
cloth and faux leather on the racy style, sport seats. While it may not be as
comfortable for someone who is rather tall, but it still works. The center
console features a 6.5” touchscreen navigation system and it will fit four
average size adults comfortably.
The bottom line is that the newly re-introduced Volkswagen
Polo Blue GT is a capable vehicle with plenty of pep and yet it still is
eco-friendly for those car owners who are interested in reduced emissions and
improved fuel mileage. If you are looking for a sporty, compact car that looks
great and is equally fun to drive, than the Volkswagen Polo Blue GT is an
awesome choice.
