How does VW plan to amplitude the four aeon centralized agitation engine to heretofore doubtful heights of efficiency? Baby engines (both gas and agent are appear to displace 1.2 liters), accomplished aerodynamics, stop-start tech, and actual low rolling attrition tires, that’s how.

The VW Mini-Car, said to attempt with Toyota’s accessible iQ and the Smart fortwo, is based on a adapted VW Up! anatomy with bigger aerodynamics. The car should bench two and accept bashful allowance for luggage. They say that the new mini-car will be dubbed the VW Chico (“little” en espanol), borrowing a name acclimated for a VW abstraction car displayed aback in 1991.–Colin Mathews
