Not too long ago, Volkswagen pulled the plug on its old 1.2-litre, naturally-aspirated petrol engine in India. The three-pot engine powered the Polo and the Ameo, which now get a newer 1.0-litre motor. Next on the Volkswagen group바카라™s list is ye ol바카라™ 1.6-litre MPI engine that has been powering the Vento and the Rapid, as well as the 1.2-litre TSi turbo petrol motor that powers the Vento TSI and the Polo GT TSI.
The replacement? A 1.0-litre, three-cylinder engine. Now, don바카라™t scoff at the displacement. There바카라™s forced induction on offer, so you shouldn바카라™t be left wanting for more power. Globally, the 1.0 TSI is available in multiple states of tune - 85PS/175Nm, Â 95PS/175Nm, 110PS/200Nm, 115PS/200Nm. Transmission options include a 5- and 6-speed manual as well as the 7-speed dual-clutch automatic (DSG).
The same 1.0-litre engine is expected to power upcoming cars from Skoda and Volkswagen as well. To jog your memory, Skoda India just took charge of the Volkswagen Group바카라™s India operations and are currently working on localising the versatile MQB platform. They바카라™ve also promised us four new cars based on this platform, starting with a Skoda-badged mid-sized SUV in 2020.
What about diesel engines? Currently, the only small diesel motor Volkswagen has is the 1.5-litre TDI. The EA189 engine has also been in the spotlight in the Dieselgate scandal, and the brand will be looking at pulling the curtains on the engine once the BSVI emission norms kick in by 2020. Until there바카라™s a further announcement on future diesel engines, it바카라™s fair to assume the VW Group바카라™s small cars will only be offered with petrol engines.
