TSI with 122 PS
-
122-PS TSI was created for models ranging up to the Passat
-
Powerful: Maximum torque of 200 Nm in reserve at a low 1,500 rpm
-
Economy: New TSI consumes six percent less fuel
Maximum power with minimum fuel consumption – this characteristic has, within a very short period of time, made Volkswagen TSIs a synonym for a new generation of economical and at the same time sporty engines. Performance specifications: 125 kW / 170 PS and 103 kW / 140 PS. The Golf, Golf Plus, Golf Variant, Jetta and Touran are powered by them. In 2006 and once again in 2007 they were awarded the coveted "Engine of the Year Award". Now Volkswagen is presenting the third TSI, this time 90 kW / 122 PS strong. It will be introduced on Golf and Co. later this year. The new TSI is also being built at the Volkswagen plant in Chemnitz.
The new turbo engine replaces the 1.6 FSI with 85 kW / 115 PS. Advantages of the new TSI: Compared to the 1.6 FSI, maximum torque has now been increased by nearly 30 percent to 200 Newton-meter (starting at 1,500 rpm). 80 percent of the maximum torque is already available at speeds as low as 1,250 rpm. In the lower speed range the TSI exhibits Newton-meter gains of up to 66 percent. Despite its decisively improved power and torque characteristics, it was possible to reduce fuel consumption by about six percent.
