The VW Group's 1.0, 1.2 and 1.4 TSI engines prove that even small engines can be lively. In this particular case it is the older generation 1.2 TSI, with a base output of 77 kW and 175 Nm.

With the APR upgrade it now makes 96 kW and 218 Nm on 95 octane fuel. Along with the extra power, the throttle pedal mapping also changes, making it easier to modulate and more predictable.

Thanks to the extra power, overtaking for example becomes much safer, and the driver can always rely on a bit more power in reserve.
