You know that awkward moment when you attempt to overtake but forced into an embarrassing pull back in line because that car just wouldn’t go; perhaps because it lacked the power to do it. We have been schooled into believing that power comes at a great price. This may be true of many car brands we have grown accustomed to driving in the Western Hemisphere. But what if we told you that you could have that power in a car that is not only fun to drive, but also saves you money - a Volkswagen?
made possible by the gearbox controller communicating permanently with the engine control system to determine the ideal moment at which to change gear. The DSG’s intelligent control system allows it to achieve an efficiency which makes optimum use of the engine’s power output. This saves fuel, reduces CO2 emissions, and also makes driving more pleasurable. Typical “Think Blue.”
The German car maker has gone to extremes in unearthing ground-breaking technological innovations to ensure there’s no compromise on a fun drive, among them is its advanced fuel saving features. Having already manufactured some of the world’s most efficient cars, Volkswagen went a few steps further, introducing its patented BlueMotion technology on select models. What do you expect from your car? With the most efficient Volkswagen vehicles you don’t have to compromise on anything. That’s because low fuel consumption goes hand in hand with lots of fun driving – as befits “Think Blue.” ATL Automotive recently added the 1.4L Volkswagen Tiguan SUV to its line-up. That’s right – 1.4L and it is twin charged with BlueMotion!
Use brake energy to travel further – that sums up the principle of brake energy regeneration, one of many green technologies from Volkswagen. Also known as recuperation, this process makes it possible to reuse the energy required for braking. As soon as you take your foot off the accelerator or apply the brakes, the tension is raised on the generator and used to recharge the vehicle’s battery massively. This means that the battery always remains well charged, load is taken off the
Save when you brake.
Save when you accelerate
The award-winning TSI petrol engines mean you no longer have to choose between performance and economy. Small, light and powerful, they blend the best of the TDI diesel and FSI (Direct Injection) engines. The result is outstanding fuel saving, lower emissions and, best of all, greater performance. The turbocharged engines deliver more power when you need it and use less fuel when you don’t. The award-winning TSI technology offers you great performance with excellent fuel economy and low emissions. When you drive one of Volkswagen’s TSI cars you don’t have to choose between performance and economy. TSI engines offer an enjoyable and involving drive, while cutting fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Because TSI engines are cleaner, they have a smaller impact on the environment, are kinder to your pocket - and, best of all, they’re great fun to drive. Acceleration is instant, whichever gear you’re in. So overtaking is safer and you can power smoothly up hills with no delay.
Save when you change gears.
Lively driving while saving fuel – that’s what everyone wants. With the optional DSG dual clutch gearbox this has become reality, since it combines the dynamics of a manual gearbox with the comfort of an automatic. Thanks to its extremely fast hydraulic system, the DSG switches gears without interrupting traction, meaning smooth gear-changes and improved acceleration figures. This is
engine, and consumption drops. Brake energy regeneration is used in all BlueMotion and BlueMotion Technology models. Sustainability without compromise – brake energy regeneration demonstrates once again how easy that can be.
Save when you stop.
The start-stop system in BlueMotion and BlueMotion Technology models switches off the engine when you are stationary, which helps to save fuel. This works completely automatically. Imagine stopping your Volkswagen at a red traffic light, switching into neutral, and taking your foot off the clutch. In cars with DSG dual clutch gearboxes, this all happens completely automatically. The start-stop system then switches off the engine automatically, and the optional
multi-function display reads “Start Stop”. As soon as the traffic light turns orange and you engage the gearbox and accelerate, the engine starts again. The start-stop system is one of our most efficient technologies, and it allows you to reduce your consumption by between 3% and 10% depending on vehicle model.
Save every time you corner
Our low rolling resistance tyres save you fuel by reducing the friction between the tyre and the road, meaning it takes less energy - and less fuel - to go further. Low rolling resistance tyres are part of our BlueMotion Technologies and are fitted to most of our BlueMotion and BlueMotion Technology models. They need less engine power to move the car forward, saving fuel and helping to cut emissions, while still offering excellent performance.
Save every time you drive
As you will probably have noticed when riding a bicycle, a strong headwind slows you down. More air resistance also costs a car more energy. This results in higher consumption and therefore higher CO2 emissions. Improving aerodynamics, conversely, makes a vehicle quieter, more economical, lower on emissions, and therefore easier on the environment. Good aerodynamics is the key to lower consumption, especially at higher speeds. The smoother the airflow over your car as it goes forward, the less drag there is holding it back and the less effort is needed to move the car forward. That means better performance and lower fuel consumption. That is why Volkswagen engineers and designers place so much emphasis on optimising the vehicle’s profile every time they develop a new Volkswagen. And of course, they also work to ensure that quality remains at the highest level. After all, the heart of “Think Blue.” is that sustainability can be achieved without compromise.
That’s the Power of German Engineering.
1.4L Tiguan. When Size Matters Now there’s really no excuse not to have the SUV you’ve been dreaming of. If it’s really your heart’s desire, why buy a car when you can get the same sized engine in an SUV? The Volkswagen Tiguan with a super efficient 1.4L turbo & supercharged engine has arrived in Jamaica. Faster and more powerful than many 2.0L competitors, it’s loaded with more standard features, the best safety rating and the best performance. We know we will see you soon.
