When it comes to fuel economy and performance, it seems you just might be able to have your cake and eat it, too. Volkswagen's Polo Blue GT, which debuts today at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, appears to pack a powerful punch without drinking conspicuous amounts of gasoline. Apart from a different grille and a lack of fog lamps, the new Polo Blue GT looks quite a bit like its sibling, the range-topping Volkswagen Polo GTI. Where the two differ is underhood. The Polo GTI's primary claim to fame is its turbo- and supercharged 1.4-liter I-4, which sends as much as 180 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque to the front wheels.

The Polo Blue GT, on the other hand, makes use of an all-new 140-hp, direct-injection, turbocharged 1.4-liter I-4, which is derived from Volkswagen's new EA211 family of engines. The engine boasts variable cam timing on both the intake and exhaust sides, along with a feature new to Volkswagen's four-cylinder ranges: cylinder deactivation. If throttle load is continually light, the engine will run on only two cylinders. Doing so helps boost the Polo Blue GT's fuel economy by a sizable measure. Volkswagen claims shutting two cylinders off when cruising at 43 mph helps cut fuel consumption by 11 mpg. On the EU test cycle, the function helps the Polo Blue GT return up to 52 mpg combined, if equipped with the optional seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox.

Despite this fairly impressive fuel consumption figure, the Polo Blue GT shouldn't be a slouch. The automaker expects the Polo Blue GT to sprint from 0-62 mph in 7.9 seconds, and ultimately reach a top speed of 131 mph. That's pretty quick, and not far off from the Polo GTI, which does the same run in 6.9 seconds before hitting a top end of 142 mph. The Polo Blue GT is slated to go on sale in Europe this July, but like the Polo range itself, the Blue GT isn't likely to make the trek over to North America in the near future. That said, VW has said this engine family is a "technological pillar" of its new MQB modular platform, which will underpin most -- if not all -- future VW models sold here. Expect something quite similar to wind up in an engine compartment near you in the years to come.
