From the new models we’re about to launch to a line-up of exciting future cars, this is where you can discover all the latest inside information from Volkswagen.
The Polo BlueGT combines dynamic performance with extreme fuel efficiency, thanks to the use of ACT cylinder deactivation, which is being used for the first time in a production Volkswagen. The turbocharged 1.4-litre four-cylinder engine produces 140 PS, yet returns a combined cycle fuel consumption figure of just 4.7 litres per 100 km (around 60 mpg), and emits a forecasted 108 g/km of CO2. Opt for the seven-speed DSG transmission, and fuel consumption drops to a forecasted 4.5 litres per 100 km (62.8 mpg) and CO2 emissions of 105 g/km. The Polo BlueGT goes on sale in Europe in July 2012. UK availability expected from December 2012.

First UK deliveries of the five-door up! are expected to start in the second half of the year; prices are yet to be confirmed.
