CO2 emissions are cut to 219 g/km, down from 244 g/km, and combined economy improves from 30.4mpg to 34.0mpg"
Absolutely superb VW, a giant leap forward in green technology.
With its state of the art wet-clutch torque converter spinning away power, a mammouth kerb weight, aerodynamics of a brick, high-friction four-wheel drive system and a thirsty 3-litre unit, this planet-saving Prius shamer thoroughly deserves its Bluemotion moniker.
Drivers of the Touareg Bluemotion can look down on other motorists with smug satisfaction in the knowledge that their choice of vehicle is going a long way to preserving the planet for future generations.
