VW unveils Beetle, XL1, launches Touraeg
Ultra-fuel-efficient XL1 concept gives 111kpl. New Touraeg to go on sale April this year.
The German automaker also showcased its XL1 concept, a low-drag, teardrop-shaped body that, according to the company, has an insane fuel consumption figure of 111kpl! A two-cylinder 1.0-litre TDI motor developing 48bhp coupled with a 27bhp electric motor and a drag coefficient of 0.186 helps it attain this feat.
Also on display was the iconic VW Beetle in its newest avatar. The latest Beetle has grown up, both in appearance and size. It retains many elements of the previous model and continues to look like an iteration of the original design classic. The interiors lose the flower vase now but the upward-opening glovebox does add a hint of vintage Beetle to the new dashboard. There is more space than before. Engine options include a 1.2 and 1.4-litre TSI petrol motors.
