The new Volkswagen Touran is another model from the company where the BlueMotion technology is really coming to the fore. The new Touran has a BlueMotion version in both the petrol and diesel engine line-ups, with the fuel BlueMotion appearing on the 1.2-litre TSI with 105 hp. It consumes just 5.9 l/100 km of fuel and produces 139 g/km of CO2 emissions, and is equipped with Start&Stop technology and energy regeneration in braking.

The Touran BlueMotion diesel is the 1.6 TDI with 90 or 105 hp, 121 g/km of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of 4.6 l/100 km. Volkswagen claims it consumes a full 27 percent less than the previous model, showing that we can only go ahead in leaps and bounds with the development of cleaner cars and fuel options.

Here are the videos of the new Touran, which has undergone a significant style update to bring it in line with the rest of the ‘family feeling’ of the Volkswagen range. The Touran front has been redesigned, and more structural changes have been completed down the sides of the vehicle, too. This aerodynamic touch-up has reduced the overall fuel consumption of the model even further, with BlueMotion options in the engine range running on 5.9 litres of fuel per 100 km. See the videos for a closer look, including a tour of the Touran interior after the jump.
