The Volkswagen XL1 plug-in diesel-electric hybrid was available only in Europe and its 5.5 kWh lithium-ion battery delivered an all-electric range of 50 km, had a fuel economy of 0.9 l/100 km under the NEDC cycle and produced emissions of 21 g/km of CO
  2. The XL1 was released to retail customers in Germany in June 2014.
