VAG get new SEAT Ecomotive 1.2 TSI 105 hp Ibiza under 120 g/km CO2.

Same please Skoda!

A1 is too IIRC

A1 is too IIRC

======================================

But Polo has not got there yet.

One would have thought over a year or two or three they would have shifted the CO2 down those few grams to get it down under 120 gm/km CO2.

Perhaps it is a UK thing and not something Skoda is too bothered but it does effect Road Tax and Compnay Car Tax if one has one of these as a Company Car.

Car companies are suppose to getting there average car to 120 gm/km CO2 so should keep pushing them down and it is a good sales angle.

I bet it's just stop start anyway. But the tax thing is a good point.

Will surely see these in Skodas. Like the 1.4L found in the Polo GTI Blue

Volkswagen revealed the Polo BlueGT in Geneva today. Positioned as an extremely fuel-efficient, yet sporty vehicle, the Polo BlueGT is the first Volkswagen with cylinder deactivation.

The BlueGT uses the new 1.4 TSI which is the top engine in the entirely new EA211 series of petrol engines. With its 140HP (103kW) the compact Polo accelerates from standstill to 100km/h in just 7.9 seconds and then onto a top speed of 210km/h (130mph).

Meanwhile, thanks to the active cylinder management (ACT) and BlueMotion Technology (Stop/Start system, battery regeneration) with a 7-speed dual clutch gearbox (DSG), the BlueGT achieves 4.5l/100km (62.8mpg imp) and 105g/km CO2. Keep in mind this is a petrol, not a diesel engine. Equipped with a six-speed manual transmission the BlueGT combined fuel consumption drops slightly to 4.7l/100 (60mpg imp) with a CO2 quotient of 108g/km - still quite impressive. As such, the Polo BlueGT closes the gap between the Polo 1.2 TSI (77 kW / 105 PS) and the Polo GTI (132 kW / 180 PS).

For appearances, the Polo BlueGT is distinguished with new 17-inch alloy wheels, GT badging, dual tailpipes and many standard features from the Polo GTI and Polo BlueMotion. GTI features include the rear spoiler, rear bumper with diffuser, front bumper and fog lights including daytime running lights. BlueMotion elements are the side sills and the front rain channels (outside on the windscreen).

The Polo BlueGT also gets a black painted grille, R-line bumper vents and black side mirrors. To improve aerodynamics the Polo is lowered 15mm and has special underbody trim.

The new car will already on the market in July.

It's bonkers what they're doing with engines these days.

I remember marvelling at the 'i' at the end of the engine size.

1.2i - Wow, injection!

I know it's a petrol you're talking about, but my 1.6TDI Seat Leon Ecomotive is great, 99g/CO2 (probably down to the start/stop). I don't care how they get it low, as long as it means free road tax (or cheap road tax when the government inevitably change the boundaries)

And I think the BlueGT is actually a better looker than the GTi, at least if you prefer subtle it is anyway.

Same please Skoda!

Already done.
