Volkswagen 1.4-litre TSI Twincharger 160PS -- 158 HP (Golf, Golf Variant, Scirocco, Eos, Jetta, Touran, Tiguan, Seat Ibiza Cupra)
With this engine volkswagen has proved that down-sizing doesn’t mean down-grading. It’s innovative design has earned it five International Engine of the Year Awards to date, and this is the fourth year running it has triumphed in this category. A frugal 1.4-litre engine, it can deliver up to 178bhp in certain applications due to the combination of petrol direct injection, a turbocharger, and a supercharger.
Power is only half the story, as the innovative TSI engine offers fuel economy benefits over its larger, similarly powered rivals, returning fuel consumption figures in the new-generation Volkswagen Golf of around 6.2 litres/100km (45.5mpg), compared with 10.6 litres/100km (26.6mpg) for Volkswagen’s 2-litre FSI, which is of comparable performance and power output.
