The Volkswagen XL1 is a two-seat plug-in hybrid built by Volkswagen as the third step in its pursuit of a car that could travel 100 km on one litre of fuel. It followed the 2002 one-litre concept and the 2009 L1, and its production version was shown at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. A two-cylinder turbodiesel engine and an electric motor drive the rear wheels through a seven-speed DSG gearbox, and the body relies on carbon-fibre reinforced polymer and other light materials to keep the curb weight near 795 kg. Production was limited to 250 units, sold in Europe only, with retail deliveries beginning in Germany in June 2014.
