The Volskwagen XL1 with his plug-in hybrid system, consisting of a two-cylinder TDI engine with 48hp (35kW), electric motor 27hp (20kW), 7-speed dual clutch gearbox (DSG) and alithium-ion battery, will have an average fuel consumption of 0.9 liter every 100km, while emitting only 21g/km of CO2.
It is also the most aerodynamic production car at the moment with a Cd of just 0.189, and combined with its low weight of 795kg you will be able to save a lot in fuel. But you won't go anywhere fast. The small car has a top speed of 160km/h (100mph) and will accelerate from a standstill to 100km/h (62mph) in 12.7 seconds.
A full battery charge will give the XL1 a range of up to 50km (31 miles) which is more than enough for city travels.
But it will look fast since it is 3888mm long, 1665mm wide and just 1153mm tall, making it even smaller than a Porsche Boxter. Inside it has room for 2 seatss, side by side, but the passengers will sit slightly offset.
The price wasn't revealed and neither was the release date.
