VW Golf Sportsvan 1.0 TSI BlueMotion test: Hooray for the Gulf

VW Golf Sportsvan 1.0 TSI BlueMotion - The high roof version of the Volkswagen, golf, means since mid 2014 Sportsvan. The title plus, the this model in the two previous generations had, was no longer attractive enough. But is it really the name that counts? Hardly: Fact is, what's in the car, E.g. which motor. In this respect has to offer a novelty the Sportsvan since this spring: the three-cylinder 1.0 TSI. And we have now tested the.

Three-cylinder Otto engine: "BlueMotion" differently

VW Golf Sportsvan 2013

Anyone looking for a very economical car at VW, which picks the best to one of the "BlueMotion" trimmed to efficiency-models. They are aerodynamically improved, optimized on the rolling resistance - and they are powered by a fuel-efficient diesel engine by the Bank. It was in any case so far. Kamei now embark on a new path. The "BlueMotion" variants of the golf, the golf variant and the golf Sportsvan are henceforth powered by a turbocharged gasoline engines - and by a three-cylinder called 1.0 TSI. He bail out engine with direct-injection and turbocharged 115 HP and 200 nm peak torque of his 999 CC, that lies between 2,000 and 3,000 rpm. VW is to be the brand new three-cylinder a true Jack-of-all-trades loud: he should run for example so powerful and cultivated as a four-cylinder and be as economical as a diesel. We're even looking forward.

The VW Sportsvan however long spans us on torture, because he whizzes in 10.4 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h and is only at 198 km/h limp; in 5th gear, he needs only 12 seconds to accelerate from 80 to 120 km/h – that can be seen. Can be seen in comparison with the four-cylinder gasoline engine 1.2 TSI. He provides 110 HP and 175 nm and comes to the following reference values. Top of 10.7 seconds 0-100 km/h, 192 km/h and 14.5 seconds for the burst of speed in 5th gear. In relation to the performance, he must avoid the newbie so; and when it comes to quietness, both at a similarly high level Act. The 1.2 TSI 600 euro is less expensive than the 1.0 TSI, it takes but half a liter more.

Sportsvan - the balanced Golf

Thus we have arrived at the consumption. Is the 1.0 TSI now actually as economical as a diesel? Not quite, at least not when you compare it with the latest generation of diesel. The 110 PS strong 1.6 TSI 4.5 liters or 105 g / km CO2 - and that consumes standard e.g. 3.9 liters, 1.0 TSIs in the Sportsvan despite numerous Spritsparhelfer (low-resistance tires, underbody panelling, reduced drag coefficient of 0.28 thanks to lowered body, etc.). The diesel uses the fuel so still more efficiently; with 11.3 seconds for the standard and 15 seconds for the intermediate sprint of 80 to 120, it is however also not so tangy: and in identical facilities almost 2,000 euro more expensive. Also the 1.6 TDI only has a 5-speed gearbox, while the three cylinder factory a 6-gear-box parts performance in sound bites. Almost 1,900 euro surcharge assumes that optionally a 7-speed double clutch transmission, the driving comfort, consumption increased but barely. According to standard 0.1 litres, in the test both versions 5.6 liter need.

1.0 TSI enough steam does so despite the "BlueMotion" savings requirements. Now more confident and safe on the road. Also has the golf Sportsvan - not surprisingly--on it, whereby he can trust in competition with the sedan on the bonus of the longer wheelbase. There are only a few centimeters, which give the high roof wagon but more balance. Agility is the sporty van not - and how it looks with the suspension comfort? Which is quite good at the factory, but probably only comfort enthusiasts will be pleased with the Adaptive chassis control for 1,000 euros.

Sportsvan, the practical

The Gulf - of the GTI was once apart - just like something for enthusiasts. He speaks forever and ever the friends of solid and functional craft. It has also with the new generation not changed, whereby: the "BlueMotion"-Sportsvan is delivered with a variety of extras, as a multi-function display, which gives Spritsparunterricht. a 5-inch touch screen; and driving Assistant, which increase the comfort (multi collision brake, electronic differential lock). The Sportsvan can shine inside but above all with his concept of space. On eight centimeters of length he not only much more comfortable accommodates its passengers as the sedan, the place, you get also individually, for example about the longitudinal sliding rear seat. The high seating position also improves the Outlook and facilitate boarding. Is there still space for the luggage? Yes, and not too close. the Sportsvan in the rear accommodates 590 to 1,520 liters, the golf saloon creates only 380 to 1,270 litres, a bar BMW 2 active tourer 468 to 1.510 - and four centimeters longer Ford C-Max 471 to 1,723 liters.

Conclusion: The new golf Sportsvan BlueMotion can convince in his debut with the three-cylinder. The Otto engine runs sophisticated and efficient, if not quite as economical as a diesel. And the Sportsvan itself has proven itself already as the more spacious, more variable, simply more versatile golf.
