2013 Geneva Auto Show: Volkswagen XL1
Volkswagen opened the covers off its production XL1 at the Geneva Auto Show 2013. Claiming 111kmpl fuel efficiency, the carbon-fibred XL1 will be the most fuel efficient car in the world. Volkswagen will be building limited numbers of the XL1, which means it's not slated for our market. A two-cylinder 47PS diesel engine aligned with a 27PS electric motor makes for the XL1's powertrain. The company claims a 0-100kmph time of 12.7 seconds with a top speed hovering around the 160kmph mark.
VW is yet to reveal the pricing for the XL1 or when it will be available for order.
Here is our first drive of the pre-production XL1
