well then... wait a few years (2012 model year?)...
VW TDI Polo...
Geneva 2009 - New Volkswagen Polo
Quote:
The potential in the new TDI engines is clearly evident in the example of the Polo 1.6 TDI with 66 kW / 90 PS: when combined with a "BlueMotion package", its average fuel consumption of 3.8 liters per 100 kilometers and 96 g/km CO2 makes it the most fuel efficient and lowest emitting five-seater diesel in the world.
edit.... oh and put zero faith in the EPA estimates for most Diesels as they base them off the California emissions standard (a joke )... VW had to tune back their timing to appease CA emissions standards for fear of loosing a large segment of West Coast customers. A Chip fixes that, and oddly enough still passes emissions in CA (why CA emissions deserves the )
