Renowned auto giant VW has revealed some details of its new eco-friendly hybrid dubbed the XL1, which promises a European Union-certified economy of 111.16kpl & carbon emissions of 21g per kilometer.

The XL1 is a two-seat car, which has a 47bhp two-cylinder 800cc TDI engine accompanied by a 27bhp electric motor plus 5.5kWh battery pack.

The XL1, which was first announced in the form of a running concept two years back, also boasts to have a CD rating of merely 0.189. Other striking features of the upcoming car include its carbon-fiber body, aluminum double wishbone front suspension, carbon-fiber reinforced plastic anti-roll bars, ceramic brake discs, and a semi-trailing link suspension at the back.

The carbon-fiber body of the vehicle weighs merely 795 kilogram (kg) and measures some 3.8 m in length and 1.66 m in width. These dimensions make it slightly smaller than a Volkswagen Polo supermini. The company says that the XL1 can reach a top speed of 159.9kph, but can sprint from zero to 100kph in merely 12.7seconds.
