The second generation of the Passat Bluemotion reaches Spain
Passat Bluemotion mounts available in the range less powerful diesel engine (1.6 TDI 105 CV), combined with a manual six-speed gear box. Benefits that manages this saloon are rather discrete as it reaches the 100 km per hour in 12.2 seconds. It is in fact slower Volkswagen Passat sold (tracing the performance of his brother with the same engine).
As it is usual in this type of car, have been conducted focused measures to achieve the best possible efficiency, such as the use of systems as energy recovery from braking, Start/Stop, as well as low-friction tyres (do not know what measures will be).
Well, the issue here is to assess whether it is worth paying the supplement brand asks for this vehicle with respect to the normal version, Volkswagen called Bluemotion Technology. The price of a Volkswagen Passat Bluemotion Technology Edition 1.6 TDI is 24,900 euros, while that of a Volkswagen Passat Bluemotion (with the same level of equipment) is 25.750 euros. It must be said that both prices will be reduced to implement promotional campaigns that the brand is now in Spain, but not being temporary use base prices.
Therefore the price difference is 850 euros, which must be cancelled by the 0.2 litres less than consumption which standardises the Passat Bluemotion. If we do the accounts we will see that we would have to do a minimum of 329.457 km (with the price of diesel to 1.29 euros per liter) to make us begin to compensate. Everyone knows the number of kilometres that makes, but I don't think that many people end reaching that figure.
