Summary

In order to fulfill PSA’s strong commitment to reduce its European fleet’s CO₂ emissions to 95g/km by 2020, PSA has developed a new modular family of 3-cylinder engines. This PureTech family, composed of 1.0l and 1.2l naturally aspirated PFI engines and 1.2l Turbocharged Direct Injection engines, covers the power range from 50 kW to 96 kW. It features the most advanced product and manufacturing technology and will be deployed worldwide. The new PureTech 1.2l Turbocharged Direct Injection engine is the best illustration of PSA Peugeot Citroën’s downsizing strategy. Its maximum power of 96 kW, peak torque of 230 Nm, high torque at low rpm and a mean fuel economy improvement of 18% (21% on a 308 vehicle) compared to the 1.6 NA Valvetronic engine it replaces constitute a perfect balance between fuel economy and fun to drive.
