Summary

Within the scope of the systematic ongoing development of Volkswagen engines in respect of consumption, emissions and driving fun, the 3-cylinder TSI^® engine is the next step in the evolution of the EA211 engine family to enter series production in A0 and A-class vehicles. The modular construction of the EA211 engine family delivers the conceptual basis for efficient and rapid implementation of the adaptations necessary for the I3 TSI^® engine, thus enabling a short development time. The developments made in the charge cycle and injection components of the I3 TSI^® compared with the 4-cylinder unit form the basis of a more efficient combustion process with faster energy conversion. Within the EA211 engine family, the new 3-cylinder TSI^® with 1.0l displacement represents the next systematic step in downsizing. Like the well-known, highly efficient and dynamic 4-cylinder engines in this family, the 3-cylinder TSI^® combines low exhaust emissions with low fuel consumption without any restriction in driving fun.
