Voci non confermate, danno per certo la variante 1.5 TDI biturbo per sostituire il 2.0 TDI 150CV.
The turbocharged 1.5-liter gasoline engine will serve as a direct successor of the current 1.4 TSI and is going to come with cylinder deactivation technology, as well as direct-injection and a new turbocharger. As for the 1.5-liter diesel, it’s going to replace the familiar 1.6 TDI.
VW mentions production costs will be higher compared to the current units, but the new ones will be lighter and more frugal. The plan is to sell both engines in different states of tune and on a variety of models from the Volkswagen Group, including Audi, SEAT, and Skoda.
These won’t be all-new engines as Herbert Diess explains the 1.5-liter units will be evolutions of the current 1.4 TSI and 1.6 TDI powering a wide variety of small and compact VAG cars.
