The new Turbo 100 gasoline engine is a 3-cylinder unit with a displacement of 1,199 cc, delivering a maximum output of 101 hp (74 kW) at 5,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 205 Nm from 1,750 rpm. Combined with a 6-speed manual transmission, it provides a traditional driving experience.<br /><br />The new variable geometry turbocharger optimizes the engine's responsiveness at lower engine speeds, making driving in city traffic and overtaking maneuvers easier and ensuring driving pleasure in all conditions.<br /><br />Optimized Efficiency<br /><br />Fuel consumption and emissions control are ensured by a new high-pressure direct injection system (350 bar), new piston heads, a new valve timing system that reduces internal friction, and the Miller cycle with a high compression ratio to improve thermal efficiency.<br /><br />Improved Reliability<br /><br />The Turbo 100 gasoline engine features a timing chain, ensuring a long service life. The new engine block, pistons, and piston rings are designed for overall robustness and controlled oil consumption.<br /><br />During its development, the engine underwent rigorous endurance testing under extreme conditions, with more than 30,000 hours on test benches simulating all driving scenarios.<br /><br />Reduced Maintenance<br /><br />Models equipped with the new Turbo 100 gasoline engine benefit from an optimized maintenance schedule, requiring a single service every two years/25,000 km (previously every year/every 20,000 km) and an annual interim inspection.
