FROM POWERFUL AND EFFICIENT TSI PETROL ENGINES, TO A RANGE OF SUVS WITH AN EMPHASIS ON THE ‘SPORT’, THERE’S A VOLKSWAGEN THAT’S JUST PERFECT FOR EVERYONE

You know the saying, “There’s no replacement for displacement”? Well, it seems there certainly is one now, and it comes in the form of Volkswagen’s new range of TSI petrol engines. More efficient and more powerful, these new BSVI-compliant Turbocharged Stratified Injection engines continue in a tradition of offering more, from substantially less. And everyone knows that smaller engines score big when it comes to efficiency, no?

Take the new wonder engine, the advanced direct injection, dual overhead camshaft 1.0-litre TSI in the new Polo and Vento, for example. With 110PS of power and 175Nm of torque, higher figures than the larger capacity outgoing engines, these new engines are still rated higher when it comes to fuel efficiency. The Polo 1.0 TSI delivers 18.24kmpl, while the Vento 1.0 TSI delivers 17.69kmpl – both remarkable figures for engines that rank amongst the most powerful in their segments!
