Volkswagen drove into 2013 with the CrossBlue, a midsize SUV concept model unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show. This car is a B-SUV; a large vehicle without the seven seats which is what American buyers want. The CrossBlue diesel hybrid engine gets 89 miles to the gallon, the TDI motor combined with two electric motors supply the car 306HP and 516 pound-feet of torque sending the CrossBlue from 0 to 60 miles an hour in just 7.2 seconds for the top speed of 127 miles an hour.

Such a load of crap. I just wish they were more honest and said thay wanted more tax!
801locks, what energy crisis
the problem is not to build a eletric car, it’s the way we get the electricity…. there’s 1 billion cars today, and if we had just 100 mi(10%) of eletric cars… there would be not enough energy. i live near a hidroeletric system and my month’s bill it’s 100 US$… (I don’t have even a airconditioner….) such a shame.

– forgot to mention that “a lot lower” means around 20% more or less –
but I’ve also got to add that hydrogen can be produced using biomass and it’s produced now (in addition to using electricity) using natural gas, but still internal combustion engines are no where near the limit that I just mentioned so it could be a lot lower than that 87%, refer to this site if you like hydrogen so much it’ll make you like it even more but I’m still pro electric almc.army.mil/alog/issues/MayJun00/MS492.htm
for any heat engine the maximum efficiency is: 1- (Tc/Th) where Tc is the low temperature sink – room temperature assume it’s 27 degrees C which makes it 300 degrees kelvin – and Th is the high temperature sink – that is for internal combustion engine the temperature of combustion – and for hydrogen the highest combustion Temp. is near 2300 degrees kelvin so the efficieny is 1- 300/2300 = 87 % so it’s better to use electric (efficiency of more than 90% is not hard)
it is indeed produced with the help of elec, as is everything tbh… but if i had a choice between electric cars or hydrogen* it would be hydro without a doubt, that effecienty is even higher compared to elec vs combustion, and is the most abundant element in the universe, thus no shortage , its hard to really make everything not dependant on ele, we have incorporated it in all of our daily life/machines our life actually, still im pro hydro
if hydro means hydrogen then I’m sorry to tell you that hydrogen is produced using electricity as well, and nuclear energy is one of the cleanest ways to produce electricity – if only it wasn’t so dangerous in case of an accident – also it’s better to use electric powered vehicles because the overall efficiency of the car along with the power plant that supplies its power is higher than regular internal combustion engines..
fair call
yes i am aware of that, but generally seen i think hydro is the way foreward, no matter what kind of enviroment you got, but indeed at desert area’s you can use solar, downside is you have to have massive electrical switchover circuitery, thou im no electro mechanical engineer, just a mechanic…
i know about tidal power, but wot about desert country’s? especially in the middle of them where there is no water….there is a lot of potential for solar production out there. as for wind, pair it up with hydro generators as there is usually constant wind near water.
becuz solar and wind are verry situational, not everywhere you can have both at max performance, hydro IS 100% optimal to use everywhere, and easy to recycle
but wot about solar and wind? those two alone (especially here in australia) are more than enough to power and average humans lifestyle.
people how see electricity still as verry nuclear dependant! thats who, olso i love my alfa to much
hydro thx, electricity is still verry much dependant on nuclear power so no thx, they have the knowledge to store hydro, so why bother with these electric cars? i dont know honestely, there horrid and badly made,and to expensive.
Are you kidding me? What would you rather it be dependent on??
who would dislike??? i mean other than redneck top fuel dragsters?
watch my video
I really wish I had the ability to enter tokyo university to study there hehe.
o god, not another prius shit box…. give us something not dependant on electricity !!
that’s an entirely different issue
How much?
bring Amarok TDI to USA, pls!!!
Considering that the concept is almost a Grand Cherokee with a VW badge….I really hope that they won’t go with the concept model.
Thing is…They make a really nice style and nice looking body for a car BUT THEY NEVER GO WITH THE CONCEPT MODEL.
how-do-you-get-89-MPG!
I prefer Wagon version then SUV.. shame on VW not introducing AllTRack or Passat Wagon with TDI and 4motion.. SHAME ON YOU !!!!.. who ever works in HQ and hires these people who do study is retarded
Normally that kind of TDI would get 50-60mpg, so I wouldn’t see why sticking a hybrid system in there wouldn’t make a reasonable 80-90mpg
@cdsqkhj yep, i know alot of people who think it is fake. and i can tell u, even my friend also earning well monthly doing surveys and reading mails daily. i found it here: bit.ly/11jDuVi?=llexmi
car should take you from place A to place B. that’s it.
Yes. Scania (trucks and busses), MAN (trucks and busses) and Ducati (motorcycles).
Thats not correct they always had a connection becuase Ferdinand Porsche designed the original Volkswagen (Beetle) and his grandson Ferdinand Piech is the head of VW’s advisory board. Porsche didnt become an offfical part of Volkswagen till August 2012. Bentley has been a part of Volkswagen since 1998.
motor cycles

2009 Jetta TDI
what year is your car?
TDI Hybrid? I own a TDI and it is no good for short trips – the particulate filter gets clogged and VW wants $4,000 to replace it. They say the engine is not designed for in-town driving. Needs highway driving to burn off the soot. Short trips to the store are not recommended.
VW Audi & Porsche have been together for several decades. Was surprised to learn about Bentley though.
No, Fiat owns or is buying part of Chrysler
yeah vw owns chrysler

Correction porsche is also integrated with volkswagen…so we have lamborghine audi seat skoda porsche bentley bugatti im a forgetting something?
Funny to know that almost all the brands shown here are from volkswagen…audi bently and soon also.porsche
*89MPGe
luv it…
Great Volkswagen…
