To the VW Polo BiFuel to a lower consumption to help, missed Volkswagen the Sparmobil a larger gasoline engine 1.6 L engine.
The reason sometimes forces one to unusual decisions. As for example, a 1.2 L small TSI hating beckons in the Polo Configurator merry with the downsizing flag. To autogas (LPG)-fired VW Polo BiFuel to a better carbon footprint to help, accesses VW to a classic 1, 6-litre suction cup.
The reason for this is the technique: the LPG liquid in the tank still enters the VW Polo BiFuel via evaporator already in the gaseous state to the injection valves. The in the combustion chamber cooling effect of normally existing fuel droplets is missing. Ergo, it is smarter to combine LPG with heat producers such as turbocharger or compressor.
Who it with the 82 HP strong VW Polo BiFuel hastily has quickly realizes that the LPG Polo rather leisurely likes it. At least 13.1 seconds required for the Sprint from zero to 100 km/h. Also is over, the Polo calls a patient driver, which is not of the latent drohnigen cylinder feels annoyed, but simply continue to occur the accelerator and diligently switches.
After all, the five-speed gearbox can be the VW Polo BiFuel so quickly and easily use that it sets the mood. Please also the comfortable suspension, as well as the precise steering.
The greatest joy comes up at the gas station, where the 1.1 ton Polo rewarded all poverty with unusually low cost. The liter liquefied propane gas, a mixture of butane, propane, propene and butene costs only 77 cents. One basis by us consumption of VW Polo BiFuel, be due per 100 km 7.16 euro. With 16.675 Euros similar to expensive Polo blue motion with a 75 HP 4.9 liters needed makes 7,25 euros for 100 kilometres.
Choose between LPG and gasoline by pressing a button
Like his BiFuel siblings Golf and golf plus the VW keeps Polo BiFuel its fuel saving in the spare wheel recess. As standard, there is a tire pressure monitoring display and sealant, and compressor instead of emergency wheel. 52 Litres is sufficient for about 550 km. The tank is empty, the fuel injection system takes the fuel automatically from the still existing, large 45 litre fuel tank. On push of a button, you can also switch between the two drives. Two level indicators inform the pilot of its reach.
It finally goes to the LPG tanke, Polo BiFuel can arise around the good VW quite voltage. Need to search, then cap it, then to turn the large tank trunk on the adapter, and to ensure that the great not-proof turns the small but first the adapter in the car. Otherwise the adapter sits this, which has a modified gas station attendant to the result and called for possibly a pipe wrench out of the box. Exercise is likely to make the master here, however.
While Polo, golf and golf Alternatively run plus itself with autogas (LPG), natural gas (CNG) is used in the EcoFuel variants of caddy, Touran and Passat. Under the hood, a 1.4-liter turbo engine with 150 HP, which has 220 nm from 1,500 tours is located at the latter. Thanks to turbocharger and compressor, the 1.7-tonne accelerates variant in 10.1 seconds zero to 100 km/h. The easy-to-reach top speed is 212 km/h.
On average, the CNG Passat in the last test approved 7.5 kg natural gas. 100 Km cost thus currently 8.25 euros. This extremely sophisticated presents the small four cylinder and adheres acoustic in the background. Because the gas tanks under the floor sit, the trunk is fully preserved. In addition the Passat has enough to explore the nearest CNG gas station a large 21 litre fuel tank.
