With the new Mission Efficiency, Volkswagen is presenting the world's most efficient near-production electric car. The prototype has set three world records. They stand for exemplary aerodynamics and excellent ideal and real fuel consumption. The vehicle is a beacon of technology and at the same time demonstrates the performance of Volkswagen's production technology.
Record number one: The vehicle achieves a Cd value of 0.158: a new record for road-approved cars. Record number two: consumption of 6.48 kWh/100 km during a so-called “ideal trip”, during which the speed (in this case 68 km/h) remains constant, there are no uphill slopes and peripheral consumers such as the air conditioning system are deactivated. Record number three: Thanks to its aerodynamics and a highly efficient electric drive from the ID. Polo, the Mission Efficiency is also the most economical near-production electric car in its class.
On an officially documented consumption test drive over a distance of 1,278.36 km from Volkswagen’s German Development Centre in Wolfsburg via Poznań (Poland) and Olmütz (Czech Republic) to the Austrian capital Vienna, the Mission Efficiency achieved real consumption of 7.51 kWh/100 km including charging losses (6.89 kWh/100 km without charging losses). The route was completed with an average speed of 67.72 km/h; the top speed was 138 km/h. The 54.9 kWh battery (net) was only charged once during the journey. On arrival in Vienna, it had a remaining range of 164.0 km.
