The TT RS, which was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show will be delivered to customers in the summer. It has a 2.5-liter engine with turbocharging and gasoline direct injection develops an output of 340 hp (250 kW) and deploys a torque of 450 Nm.

Engine

The TFSI engine gets its power from 340 hp (250 kW) with a displacement of 2480 cm3 – thus providing a specific output of 137.1 hp (100.8 kW) per liter. On the coupe, which weighs 1450 kilograms, the power to weight ratio amounts to 4.3 kilograms per hp, the roadster (1 510 kg) to 4.4 kilograms – through body Audi Frame Space extremely light made ​​largely of aluminum.

The TT RS coupe and is catapulted in 4.6 seconds at 100 km / h from a standing start, for which the roadster needs a tenth of a second more. The maximum speed is set by the electronics 250 km / h, but may be extended upon request by Audi to 280 km / h.

The maximum torque of 450 Nm is available in the range of 1 600 to 5300 rpm. The powerful 5-cylinder merely 9.2 liters per 100 km in the case of the coupe (and 9.5 l/100 km in the case of the Roadster).Mobile components housed in the intake manifold to give the intake air swirling manner. In the combustion chamber, a turbulence is imparted to the fuel injected at a pressure of up to 120 bars by the common rail system, which serves to cool the walls of the room and get a compression ratio, remarkable for a turbo, 10 / 1. Both camshafts are controlled by adjustable chains and also contribute to an excellent filling.

The large turbocharger establishes a pressure of 1.2 bar max. The cooler air compressor receives an ideal airflow passing through the lower segment of the single-frame grille and reaches full load cooling rate of the compressed air exceeds 80 percent.

With a shutter placed in the exhaust left, the driver of the Audi TT RS can further intensify and improve the sound of the exhaust by pressing the Sport series located on the central tunnel. At the same time, this button makes the most scathing response from the engine. On request, Audi provides a sport exhaust system with matt black out which is equipped with the same component.

AWD

The Audi TT RS is equipped with standard all-wheel drive quattro permanent, whose core is formed by a hydraulic multi-plate clutch with electronic control placed on the rear axle. When the situation requires it, the clutch directs the bulk of the forces of the front wheels to the rear wheels.

In doing so, the clutch plates are compressed under the effect of hydraulic pressure, an operation carried out in a few milliseconds by a powerful electric pump with a hydraulic accumulator. The quattro driveline has a new constant velocity joint positioned upstream of the propeller shaft and rear axle differential compact, these two components are distinguished by their resistance of course.

Sport chassis with body lowered to 10 mm is standard, the springs and dampers have a firm setting.The adaptive damping system Audi magnetic ride is optional, thanks to him, the driver can switch between two maps to set the basic characteristic of shock. In dynamic mode, depreciation of the TT RS is drier, while he displayed a nice balance in comfort mode, the setting ideal for long journeys.

This TT is athletic floor of 18-inch wheels and 245/45 tires. They hide ventilated discs of 370 mm diameter front and 310 millimeters at the rear. They are complemented by black lacquered aluminum calipers with four pistons on the RS emblem.

The ESP electronic stability control can be deactivated in two stages. During the first stage, the Sport mode, ESP does not influence on the engine to the traction, delaying the braking effect stabilizer. The second stage corresponds to the complete deactivation of ESP.

Style

Aesthetically, the Audi TTS is distinguished by its front bumper, large air intakes protected by grilles framed drawing honeycomb. The large single-frame grille with its glossy black aluminum frame mat and coat TT RS is obviously relative.

On the flanks, the large wheels in 5-arm double rocker boxes marked and outside mirrors pose both matte aluminum accents. The rear diffuser includes a cache of the two large exhaust pipes separated, oval, and bears the emblem TT RS. (Spoiler for automatic deployment can be replaced with an fixed wing). Audi TT RS book in eight colors, including four exclusive – Daytona Grey Pearlescent Mugello Blue Pearl, Blue Pearl Sepang and Suzuka Grey Metallic. For the hood of the roadster, black and dark gray are available to choose from.

Inside, the multifunction sport steering wheel, covered with perforated leather, has a thick rim and flattened in its lower part. The driver information system located in the instrument cluster display includes a boost pressure and oil temperature and a laptimer through which the pilot can determine his lap times.

The interior is all black. The sports seats are coated with a combination leather / Alcantara with embossed emblems TT RS on issues before the hand-brake handle, center console armrest and interior door handles are black leather with contrasting stitching money. The monogram is featured on the sports steering wheel and leather multifunction tachometer and on the threshold moldings. The inlays are in brushed aluminum. The mats are finished with silver edges. As for the footrest and pedals are aluminum.

Upon request, the Audi TT RS can receive specific optional equipment, such as different styles of wheels, 19 and 20 inch bucket seats with nappa leather reclining back end with perforations TT, seat covers, leather nappa perforations with embossed satin TT, decorative applications aluminum or black lacquered white ibis or a ghost Pack Aesthetics matte aluminum for the exterior.

The sale will begin during the month of March, deliveries are scheduled to begin in the summer.

The Audi A1, positioned as a premium compact car, is a major success since its market introduction in September 2010. The A1 185ch 1.4 TFSI S tronic (standard) is the most powerful version. She also impressed by its performance with an average of 5.9 liter per 100 km, 139g/km CO2.
Prices for this new engine are competitive in view of standard equipment:
• A1 185ch 1.4 TFSI S tronic Ambition $ 25 900
• A1 185ch 1.4 TFSI S line S tronic $ 27 100
• A1 185ch 1.4 TFSI S tronic Ambition Luxe $ 27 800

The A1 1.4 TFSI 185ch declines a sporty design. The single-frame grille, the roof arches contrasting the flat C-pillar, the engine hood, the trunk lid, the lateral line called Tornado underline its sporting potential even static.
The A1 has a 1.4 TFSI engine with compact and lightweight 4-valve per cylinder developing 185ch and 250 Nm of torque. 0 to 100km/hs’ performs in 6.9 seconds and maximum speed reached 227 km / h.
The spontaneous response and power, even at high speeds are achieved through a special concept, a combination of compressor and turbocharger.


The compressor takes action to 1500 rpm and in most situations is triggered at 2400 rpm. From 3500 rpm, the turbocharger does all the work. Because it intervenes at high speed, developers were able to introduce a large turbo and design for high performance.
This engine 1.4 TFSI combines efficiency and dynamic qualities. It consumes an average of 5.9 liter of fuel per 100 km and emits only 139g of CO2 per km. These excellent figures are the product of FSI technology developed by Audi, double the supercharging system as well as modular efficiency technologies.
Transmission 7-speed S tronic serial sends power to the front wheels. The high-end power is very short and mild. The S tronic consists of two transmission structures that are solicited by two multi-disc clutches. The change in reporting demands only a few hundredths of a second and without noticeable interruption of torque. The seventh report of reduced fuel consumption.
The front suspension is of conventional construction comprising McPherson wishbone lower triangular and elastokinematic news, the subframe being High-strength steel. On the rear axle is mounted to a suspension with trailing arms separating the suspension and shock absorbers and elastokinematic which has been optimized with new levels of privilege to guide the dynamism and comfort.
The Audi A1 1.4 TFSI 185ch turns and runs stably and rapidly in and out of curves with high adhesion. The front brakes are ventilated and measure 288 millimeters in diameter.
Another specialty that comes standard with the chassis is the stabilization program ESP with electronic limited slip differential. When the system detects a loss of traction on the inside wheel during a quick change of direction, it brakes very briefly this wheel.
Standard equipment list is complete. The safety package includes two front airbags, side airbags and curtain airbags. Belt tensioners and belt force limiters plus system headrest Full Audi complement the security part. Isofix anchor points for child seats are also standard in the rear seats.
Many standard features are in the top category including xenon plus headlights with LED daytime running lights, LED taillights, LED interior lighting, the assistant fire road, the rain sensor and light The panoramic sunroof, keyless drive, two navigation systems and installation of Bose 465 watts and 14 speakers, and heated front seats.

This version has a sporty single-frame grille, arched roof of contrasting elements to highlight the sporting potential of the car. But the main change is under the hood: The 1.4 TFSI engine with compressor and turbocharger, which is also reflected in the recent VW Polo GTI. The compressor takes action as early as 1500 rpm when the turbo is designed for “high” schemes: he takes over at 3500 rpm.

This block 1.4 Develop a maximum power of 185 hp and 250 Nm of torque, allowing the Audi A1 make the exercise of the 0 to 100km / h in 6.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 227 km / pm.
While maintaining a reasonable theoretical consumption of 5.9 l/100 km and 139 g / km of CO2. Provided they do not have the foot too heavy.

Power is transmitted to the front wheels via S-Tronic box 7-speed, structures composed of two transmissions, and controlled by an ESP with electronic limited slip differential. The suspension has also been changed, and the chassis for sharp focus the strength and comfort of this sporty version.

The many options available to it original place at a price almost equivalent to the 122 hp A1 S-Tronic equipped with the same options.

It’s been several months that Ford is toying with the idea of ​​reducing the size of its displacement to improve the energy efficiency of its vehicles.The solution? A turbo. Called EcoBoost, the ambitious project is to develop four-cylinder turbo V6 to replace, and the six-cylinder turbo V8 to dislodge. This week, finally, we could see a bit of concrete on that side, while Ford has announced an investment of $ 109 million in a European factory which will be assembled a four-cylinder turbo that will target the global market … soon.

Malin MHI! Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the name of one of the (many) companies stamped diamond just dropped a very interesting concept. For the time being for marine use, nothing prevents a similar installation on a car engine block. By the way … what?

This is a classic turbo … but with a hybrid generator module. This turbo uses the same principle as a turbo compressor based on a diesel today. In sum, part of the exhaust gases are still hot activate a turbine. This activates another turbine that compresses the fresh air, after a stint in a possible exchanger to cool the air compressed and overheated, the air inlet and compresses for easy filling of the cylinders. Mitsubishi wants to use the momentum of the two turbines for the couple to a hybrid generator. Thus, the alternator would be relieved of the engine and exhaust gas used until the end. In addition, the decompression of a turbo is a waste of energy … clear. Mitsubishi offers to catch every joule to integrate the force into its storage electric motors. And yes, instead of “pumping” the energy on the timing belt over the alternator, Mitsubishi prefers to play the energy card lost.

As shown in the image, the hybrid module comes in “tail” of turbo-compressor, before the gases going up in admission. Civilian use of MET83MAG turbo-charging could be used on small cuts at first and, hopefully, on the huge bi-turbo sport … allowing it to reach the wheels of inertia and regenerative braking.

Base, many are satisfied with a 135i and its 6-cylinder turbocharged twin-scroll that receives the Valvetronic and direct injection gasoline. It already has 306 hp (225 kW) and 400 Nm of torque available over a wide speed range. Because it makes a success of this block: to be both flexible and furious! It delights in revving out while enjoying a roundabout with a net effect on gas.

Our frame of one day pushes it even further: the N55 engine receives one of the BMW Performance Power Kits (2 140 euros) which allows a gain of 20 horsepower, so what makes us a total of 326 horses.The couple goes to 430 Nm at … 1500 rpm! And even with the box 450 Nm DKG! As a result, the performances are progressing with a gain, albeit symbolic, of 2 / 10 on the 0-100 km / h.

Please note: this kit can be installed on new vehicles before the first registration because you have to request a 3 in 1 to change the gray card in the prefecture with the new specifications.

The rear silencer BMW Performance , with its two outputs chrome stainless steel (1075.10 euros) is double-edged sword for health. He gave a smile and should be considered as an anti-depressant (and reimbursed by social security) in a world that rushes to the electric car. But it also allowed me ” to my adraper rhub “force to roll the windows open to enjoy the music it broadcasts. Hey, think about saving the music system: during the test, I did not set, preferring to enjoy the “brrrroaaaapp” and other “broooopppp” exhaust!

Ideally, to verify this is the small mountain road which passes and amplifies even more music. And it will also allow you to test the puzzling behavior of the suspensions equipped 135iPerformance (881.30 euros). A delight. You can reach standing on the brakes and put it frankly, the rear does not release dangerous to pass. In contrast, a free listing of a swerve without mass transfer forward will not lead to understeer. And changes in support, it has a neutral foolproof: it is bright and secure! Of course, it’s a little farm for family use. And probably not enough to turn on the circuit. But for sports, it’s ideal. And for road use, the lack of locking is not a worry.

The brakes consist of brackets (identical to the original ones, except the color and sticker …), discs and more powerful chips (2250 euros), which show no signs of fatigue after several and repeated heavy braking ! This changes us from what we’ve had with the E46 M3 …

Online

BMW Performance offers a catalog of accessories to enhance the aesthetics of your series 1. In the case of our test, it was a black grille (99 euros), shells of carbon side mirrors (248 euros each), a rear diffuser in the same subject (1445 euros), Style 313 wheels dual radius ( 2 000 euros), a carbon spoiler (439 Euro) and door sills illuminated stainless steel (530 euros)

Aesthetically, the one in mind and budget, replaces the E46 M3 , has a nice line. This is probably the back which leaves me a little about my hunger. I prefer that of his ancestor!

Interior

It is possible to have bucket seats that do not equip our frame.But be aware that if you install them, your home will be odd because it is not possible to order with the same leather and the same color as the rear door and cons.

By cons, we find a sport steering wheel (605.93 euros), which falls well in hand, with its rim and thick coating that offers good grip. It does not have LEDs that signal the approach of the red zone. We take this opportunity to point out that the steering is a little heavy at low speed and maneuver, but ideal when the pace is accelerating.

To make the interior more sporty, a range of carbon part has taken place inside the cabin on the center console (168.30 euros), dashboard (170.54 euros) at the foot shift lever (168.30 euros ) on the doors (121 euros each) and so on. A hand brake handle (110 euros) completes the cockpit, like a foot (96.60 euros) and a footrest (89 euro) aluminum.

Box DKG

By itself, this box deserves a chapter. For many, nothing beats a manual gearbox. I am among those who, from the SMG of E36 M3 , prefer not having to do work on their left calf. And DKG reached a level of efficiency that should convince his fiercest opponents!If the passage of the report generates a few shots at medium speed, it is amazing rapidity when the tachometer almost reached the heights. And the small explosion that punctuated the ascent of a report completes the picture!

The possibility of giving more pulses on the palette on the left (the two are secured to the flywheel) during a braking phase can expect to arrive at the end of the transaction to fall several reports. And the little bit of gas to downshift, and more pleasing to the ears, prevents lock box.

Conclusion

You will understand, I was captivated by the 135i Performance . We find in it which made ​​the success of the E46 M3 , more successful and a budget equivalent to nine. All with an onboard computer that showed just 12.5 liters / 100 for sporting use … It was not easy to make the key …

The new Volkswagen Jetta is an entirely new vehicle design. The appearance of fully galvanized body shows this most emphatically.Never before had a VW Jetta that great, sportsman, this independent.While the degree of independence? One sign is that the Volkswagen Jetta no longer shares her body with components bestseller in the world technically related, the Golf. Instead, the new Jetta impresses as a separate vehicle such as the Tiguan or Passat CC. And it is equally safe, the previous model was already named “Top Safety Pick” in crash tests the IIHS American organization. With the optimum crash safety of the occupants, the car still has advanced pedestrian safety. With the Jetta, Volkswagen introduced again entirely new quality standards for a vehicle segment.

Exterior Style and dimensions

The new model is 182.7 inches (4.63 meters) long, 57.1 inches (1.45 meters) tall and 70.1 inches (1.78 meters) wide (length of the European version: 4 , 64 yards). This makes the Volkswagen 3.15 inches (8 cm) longer than the previous model. The interaction of the external dimensions produced a powerful report of proportions. In parallel, the new Volkswagen ‘design DNA’ sharpens his style. As a result, precise lines and surfaces muscular athlete that give the room a picture of timeless elegance and style dynamic. The result: Volkswagen Jetta appearance made such a statement that the dominant style Volkswagen nearly positions itself in a higher class of vehicle.

Front: Here is the angle cut, the windshield and the systematic use of horizontal lines that define the design. The high-gloss black radiator grille form a unity of style with trapezoidal headlights. Dual reflector headlights are cut by a blade masking supposedly in a larger area in the low beam and main and a lower section closely with daytime running lights and indicator lights. Chromium masking blades guide the horizontal lines of the far right in the front headlights. The result: the Volkswagen Jetta has a wider stance and more dynamic appearance. In the area of ​​the crossing light, new halogen discharge lamps H7 Longlife are used which have a shelf life much longer. Parking and daytime running lights – usually subject to more serious charges – are also designed with the technology or Longlife Super Longlife. optimal adjustment of the mounting height and size of the reflector produces a beam lighting and very good off the floor with an emphasis on the driver side.

Just below the unit and the gate of the lighthouse is properly carved surface of the fully painted bumper. A section below, another air intake and a cooling plate shaped front spoiler (in the style of “splitter” used in car racing) give the car a sporty finish. The upper part of the front end displays a powerful transition bonnet V-shaped wings on the sides, the shoulder section here reflects a dynamic style and muscular.

Side profile: Seen from the side profile of the show, the design features that mark all new vehicles are based in a different interpretation of the “design DNA” conceptualized by the Italian design chief of the Volkswagen group (Walter de Silva) and the German leader of the design for the Volkswagen brand (Klaus Bischoff). The best examples of this “tornado” or characteristic shoulder line and arcs strongly emphasized the wheel arches. Officially, they intersect the main volumes of supermarkets harmonized, conveying a strong image dynamic.

Thank you to the wide track dimensions (1,535 mm front, 1532 mm rear), the wheel is also a specific transition – as if carved by a knife – to accommodate up to 18 inch wheels.Meanwhile, the style of the exterior mirrors with integrated turn them emulate those of the largest in the Passat CC. Another design feature is typical on-line work in the area of ​​the C-pillars. Here, the trailing edge of the door following a straight line of the diagonal strut back into the window of triangle style, which lengthens the door and gives the entire vehicle an even larger, more extensive and elegant appearance .

rear section: Harmonized surfaces and shoulders also dominate the sport look at the back of the VW Jetta. The wide window and a back cut provides excellent visibility behind the show, and stresses along its dynamic lines. Its interaction with the C-pillars, as striking as they are stylish, and the section of the well-sculpted shoulders, produced a design that is very dominant, generating a strong presence.

And powerfully illuminating visual impact: the tail lights. They are divided into two sections, ranging from the wing in the trunk lid and the display of a unique look both day and night.The trunk lid itself has a trailing edge aerodynamically optimized to minimize the air turbulence and increases the car a force on the road. The vertical surface of the boot lid with integrated VW logo and segmented taillights shows slight push – a tool which further emphasizes the style of the saloon sportiness. To access the boot 510 liters, the trunk lid can be opened by remote unlocking. Perfection in the details: A special patented reflector geometry illuminates the license plate across the bottom and set the boot area.

Passive Safety

The new Jetta is equipped with six standard airbags (front driver and front passenger, side airbags front and side curtain airbags front and rear). Customers can add optional rear side airbags in the package. To ensure that the airbags deploy to their correct positions faster than ever, the new Volkswagen Jetta has a system of special sensors for detecting the light intensity and crash airbags. Electronics, located in the center of the cabin, estimated at low frequency “palpable signs of deceleration. In addition, specially adapted accelerometers measure the frequency components in the middle or “audible” range.These signal components are generated as the waves of car body when the carriers at the front of the car deforms very quickly. They propagate through the structure of the vehicle at high speed and accurate information to the seriousness of the accident available very quickly.

By intelligently link the “palpable” and “audible” signal components, the airbag sensor system gives a faster and more reliable at the same time describing the accident. This allows to adapt the performance of airbag deployment and belt tensioners at the collision situation, to ensure maximum protection for passengers. In Germany, the sensor system from Volkswagen has received the Innovation Award of Bavaria.

High-strength steels, hardened form are also used in the new VW Jetta. These special steels help to create a very safe vehicle structure, while avoiding weight gain spiral. The impact energy is routed through load paths defined by the type accident, to absorb part of energy that would otherwise impact on the occupants of the car.

Interior

Like its exterior styling, printing high quality made by the interior bridges the gap to the upper class, significantly increasing the drive of Volkswagen Jetta on competition. Inside, the new Jetta offers unparalleled perfection in detail and – as a common conceptual thread – the controls themselves.

Cockpit ergonomics

The silver framed round instruments designed in the style of the Passat CC is positioned for optimum viewing, the multifunction display (trip computer) is located between them. The new three-spoke wheel design (possibly with multifunction buttons) is impressive both visually and by touch. The right hand is resting on the ergonomic handle speeds. Before the shifter are redesigned, intuitive controls for climate control (standard equipment line S1 more American S-package, as well as the trend in Germany) and other convenience features such as Optional heated seats as well as radio and radio navigation systems. This section of the console is slightly angled toward the driver cockpit ideal for focusing on the needs of the driver. Also providing optimum indoor comfort is the air conditioning system that is standard from version S2 equipment in the United States and Comfortline in Germany.

The parking brake lever has been repositioned, freeing more space on the right side which is now used for large cupholders. Many storage options – including an option-dependent center armrest with storage box large or wearing sunglasses – everything is perfect the practical everyday car.

More space for driver and front passenger

Despite the low roofline, the efficiency margin for driver and front passenger remained roughly the same: It is now 970 mm. Two persons sat on the seats and ergonomically redesigned offering a high level of long-distance travel comfort and ample adjustments (optional 6-way adjustment and 8-way).

The long wheelbase has a layout more comfortable in the Volkswagen Jetta 3-person rear seat. Compared to the previous model, it now offers 38.1 inches (96.7 cm) of legroom – a gain of 2.6 inches (6.7 cm). Headroom in the rear to 943 mm, is still the same great level of the previous model.

510 liters of cargo capacity

Even the basic version of a sports seat with 60/40 split folding rear one, which increases the car’s versatility. The boot capacity of 510 liters can be opened from inside the car by a remote unlock switch (alternative: the unlocking of the outside and a RF remote, which is the standard line of equipment for S2 U.S. and Trendline for Europe).

All around protection

The new VW Jetta is equipped with six airbags as standard equipment (airbags, driver and front passenger, side airbags front and side curtain airbags front and rear). Customers can add rear side airbags optional in this together (for detailed information on the topic of passive safety, see the Council).

Standard and optional

Volkswagen has consistently adapted its U.S. hardware versions (S, SE, SEL, TDI and GLI) to meet the wishes of American motorists, and in so doing, he developed one of the most attractive rooms in its category. The basic version already well equipped to be launched at a price of 15,995 U.S. dollars. In Europe, the Volkswagen Jetta will again be offered in three equipment lines Trendline, Comfortline and Highline (price for Europe will be announced at the command starts in different countries).

Access Lock

The optional keyless entry system is a lock and start the engine that puts a lock or ignition. When one of the handles of the front door is hit, the system detects an access authorization from a transponder in the person’s jacket, pants or purse, opened the VW Jetta (in this case including lock power steering column), releases the engine immobilizer system and optional anti-theft warning and allows an engine start the engine Start / Stop button on the center console. From the outside, the Volkswagen Jetta is locked by pressing one of the door handles – one of the areas specifically identified for this purpose.Alternatively, the Volkswagen can of course also be locked or unlocked from inside or by remote control.

Functional procedure: When the door handle is touched, it wakes essentially the Volkswagen Jetta. The electronic uses external antennas (including one in each handle of the door) to issue an external inductive field to search for a valid identification transponder – an appropriate transmitter – at a distance of up 1.5 meters of the VW Jetta. If it finds one, roads antenna code issued by the sender to the relevant control module. All this happens faster than the blink of an eye. If the code is correct, the doors are unlocked. Other three antennas inside the vehicle can also locate a transponder or “key” here. Inside, other branches to check if the transponder ID is located inside the car. To protect children, for example, the motor car can not be started if the transponder ID is outside the vehicle – even a few centimeters. So if the fob transponder is placed on the roof, it would be impossible to climb and hunt.

Radio CD and radio navigation systems

Or RCD 210 (Europe) or a radio system in the U.S. version is included as standard equipment on higher trims. In Europe, the option RCD 310 (with dual tuner and 8 speakers) offers more power and features. The premium audio system in Europe is the RCD 510, in America, it is the premium model with 8 CD changer integrated interface for SD cards and touch screen. Optionally, the EU RCD 310 and RCD 510 can also be supplemented by a module for receiving DAB digital radio. All versions are available with a Volkswagen Jetta hands-free option (3 systems in Europe, a system in America) for mobile phones.

SAT Radio: In the U.S., Volkswagen Jetta reception with SAT (Sirius) for the CD and radio navigation systems. Users will be able to choose from more than 200 radio stations, and the system offers the latest traffic reports for navigation. Additional information is also provided, for example, weather, gas prices, sports scores, TV and flight information.

PA: In Europe, Volkswagen will offer a premium sound system under the house label “Volkswagen Sound”. In terms of high-end options, many drivers will choose the Jetta one of the following navigation systems.

Technology Drive and Enclosure

German engineering is the key word that captures the attention of many customers in the United States. German engineering and craftsmanship stands for the highest level of quality technology and effective, not only in Germany. The new VW Jetta is a great example, a look at his drive technology makes this very clear: as a turbo, it sets the standards with the latest common rail system with direct injection. The U.S. version equipped with one kilowatt 103 / 140 PS TDI Clean Diesel (who meets the BIN 5 emissions standard) reaches a superior fuel economy of 42 mpg (combined cycle highway: 34 mpg) – which makes the Volkswagen Jetta one of the vehicles more fuel efficient on routes between New York and San Francisco. In Europe, Volkswagen will be the introduction of a kW 77 / 105 PS engine as its smaller TDI in early 2011. Its consumption of fuel in the BlueMotion version of the technology: a stunning 4.2 litres/100 km – better value for a sedan of the class of 4.6 meters.

Volkswagen Jetta Engine America

United States and Canada, the new Volkswagen Jetta is available with three petrol engines and a turbodiesel direct injection (TDI Clean Diesel). Two of the four engines are new to the edge of the Volkswagen Jetta: The entry-level engine (85 kW / 115 hp) and the common rail TDI (103 kW / 140 hp). Technically developed are the kW 125 / 170 PS engine from 2.5 liters of gasoline and motor sport top – the load 2.0 TSI 147 kW / 200 hp, which in North America Driving the Jetta GLI model up from 2011. A technical highlight is the new 2.0 TDI Clean Diesel through conversion to common rail direct injection – the world leader in fuel systems – the turbo engine was as quiet as a gasoline engine and also a powerful engine sports car (320 Newton meters of torque maximum). A particulate filter and NOx storage catalytic converter guarantee that this TDI also meets the emissions requirements for all 50 states of the United States. Its highway fuel economy of 42 mpg (with DSG) is the new Volkswagen Jetta and very agile 2.0 TDI (0-60 mph in 8.7 seconds) one of the most fuel efficient and lowest emitting vehicles on the continent U.S..

All engines come with a manual gearbox. Of course, an automatic gearbox option is available for each model. On the new 2.0 TSI and 2.0 TDI, Volkswagen is implementing one of the most advanced and effective automatic transmission systems in the world – the 6-speed DSG gearbox.

2.0 MPI 85 kW / 115 PS: The smaller engine (1981 cm3), the VW Jetta has a tangential cylinder head consists of an aluminum alloy. The comfortable four-cylinder engine (85 kW / 115 PS) reaches its maximum power at 5200 rpm and maximum torque (170 Newton-meters) at 4,000 rpm. With a manual gearbox, the four-cylinder engine accelerates multi-room 60 km / h in 10.3 seconds, top speed of the car is 120 mph. With a 6-speed automatic gearbox, the Jetta 2.0 speeds up to 60 km / h in 11.3 seconds (top speed is identical). The 115 hp engine reaches 34 mpg fuel economy (manual transmission) in the ring road, the automatic version comes to 32 mpg.

2.5 MPI with 125 kW / 170 PS: Specially developed for the U.S. market is the high-torque five-cylinder with a power of 125 kW / 170 hp (at 5600 rpm) and 2480 cm3. Conceptually, the engine very good results (66 per cent share engine in the Jetta) was derived from the V10 engine from the Lamborghini Gallardo. And its DNA is certainly sensitive to the new VW Jetta too: The 16-valve five-cylinder engine with multipoint injection gets to work with a high reactivity on the speed range, and it accelerates the Volkswagen to 60 km / h in 8.0 seconds and if the 6-speed automatic is on board, the value is 8.5 seconds. Acoustic, five cylinder remains in the background, even at its top speed of 125 mph. The maximum torque of the engine with multipoint injection Volkswagen Jetta is reached at 4,250 rpm and is 240 Newton meters. For the first time, the 2.5 liter five-cylinder engine is now equipped with a regulated oil pump, which further reduces fuel consumption. In the cycle of road fuel economy of the automatic transmission version is 31 mpg, and it is 33 mpg for the manual version.

2.0 TSI 147 kW / 200 PS: At the highest level of performance, the new Jetta GLI is like a version powered by one kilowatt 147 / 200 PS (5100-6000 rpm) TSI. Thank you to overeating and gasoline direct injection, the 1984 cm3 four-cylinder TSI offers plenty of power with low fuel: 280 Newton-meters (between 1,700 and 5,000 rpm) and a top speed of 130 mph contrast with 33 mpg fuel economy in the ring road (6-speed gearbox), the Volkswagen Jetta GLI with DSG 6-speed option comes at 32 mpg. Moreover, the show manages the sprint to 60 km / h in 6.7 seconds short (DSG: 6.8 seconds).

2.0 TDI 103 kW / 140 PS: Ideally suited to the VW Jetta, and the long length of pipe covered in the U.S., is the common-rail turbodiesel with new 1,968 cm3. The four-cylinder engine develops 103 kW / 140 hp (at 4,000 rpm). Between 1,750 and 2,500 rpm, remarkably quiet TDI develops a maximum torque of 320 Newton-meters. Thank you to these key performance figures, the Clean Diesel Volkswagen Jetta TDI accelerates to 60 km / h in 9.1 seconds (manual 6-speed: 8.7 seconds). Its maximum speed is 125 mph.Refueling becomes one with this car that reaches 41 mpg (highway), the DSG version or above 42 mpg this.

common rail injection of the ADI in detail: injection pressures up to 1800 bar and special injection nozzles to eight holes to ensure particularly fine spray of diesel fuel. Piezo injectors online are responsible for the operation of the injection nozzles. In this process, electrically controlled piezoelectric crystals initiate injection in a split second, with the support of a hydraulic element. Compared to the solenoid valves, piezo technology allows to inject more procedures with smaller quantities of fuel more precisely measurable and multiple injections with up to 7 injections per cycle. Advantages: engine very quiet and smooth operation, spontaneous response behavior and low fuel consumption and emissions.

Clean diesel technology in detail: The new Jetta Clean Diesel is one of the most fuel efficient and lower emitting engines offered in America. Naturally, the TDI meets the stringent emission limits and emission standards BIN5/ULEV2 law in the United States and may be registered in all 50 states of the United States. A key aspect of Clean Diesel Engineering Design is how it reduces emissions of nitrogen oxide. During the four-cylinder TDI with common rail engineers in Wolfsburg reached this goal by providing internal engine modifications and implement a NOx storage catalytic converter. This technology reduces nitrogen oxide (NOx) by up to 90 percent.

Why a catalytic converter NOx storage is used is easy to explain: high temperature combustion chamber to improve fuel economy – but at the same time they produce more nitrogen oxides. Within limits, nitrogen oxides can be reduced by optimizing the combustion chamber geometries and implementation of highly accurate methods of injection, Volkswagen has proved. However, when one considers the emissions, it is necessary to limit the combustion temperature and the concentration of oxygen, which reacts with the nitrogen to form nitrogen oxides. Both objectives can be achieved by external recirculation of exhaust gases into the combustion chamber. This gas is drawn into the exhaust system and cooled on the way to the combustion chamber. Ideally, these measures can reduce the function of the temperature of nitrogen oxide emissions up to 60 percent.

The catalytic converter NOx storage does the rest. It absorbs oxides of nitrogen very efficiently, like a sponge. As a particulate filter, it is cleaned at regular intervals without the driver even noticing. The engine management system does this by running the engine in a mode with a rich mixture combustion for a few seconds. The catalytic converter NOx storage requires diesel fuel that has very low sulfur (sulfur content below 15 parts per million, or 15 ppm), otherwise the formation of sulfate, it would be less effective. United States, this type of diesel fuel has been widely available since the fall of 2008.

Volkswagen Jetta engines in Europe

In Europe, the policy engine will be based on conditions there. Small displacements and the load are essential for all engines. This means power a little lower in the base engine, much less displacement on some engines and all engines charged. Four of the six motors are new to the VW Jetta line-up: STI 1.2 (77 kW / 105 hp), the 1.4 TSI (118 kW / 160 hp) and two common rail turbo-diesel 1.6 TDI (77 kW / 105 hp) and 2.0 TDI (103 kW / 140 hp).high-tech form tested offers are the usual 1.4 TSI (90 kW / 122 hp) and 2.0 TSI (147 kW / 200 hp). Except for the ITS 1.2, all other engines can be paired with an optional 6-speed DSG (77 kW, 103 kilowatts TDI TDI, TSI 147 kW) or 7-speed DSG (90 kW, 118 kilowatts TSI TSI).

Of course, each engine Jetta offered in Europe is consistent with the issuance of the EU-5 standard. The TSI 1.2 and 1.6 TDI are also available with a package BlueMotion Technology. Its specifications are a Start-Stop and kinetic energy recovery by the battery regeneration. Volkswagen Jetta 1.2 TSI with new technology BlueMotion consumes just 5.3 l/100 km (equivalent to 123 g / km CO2) – a higher absolute value for a sedan with gasoline that can reach speeds up to 190 km / h. The 1.6 TDI BlueMotion technology with a combined fuel economy of 4.2 l/100 km Sensational (109 g / km CO2), the VW Jetta with this engine is one of the most fuel efficient 4, 6 meters lounges worldwide.

Gasoline direct injection 105 hp to 200 hp

Technically speaking, direct injection gasoline engine load and displacement are reduced some of the most effective ways to significantly reduce fuel consumption while improving significantly the dynamic properties of a vehicle. That is why Volkswagen is taking exactly this approach in its TSI engines: Reducing engine size, which reduces friction losses and the load changes, resulting in a lower specific fuel consumption and better engine efficiency. Engine load takes the form of either a combination of compressor and turbocharger or turbocharger specially developed.

1.2 TSI of 77 kW / 105 PS: The turbocharged 1.2 liter four cylinder TSI is the last in the program, like all engines of this type, it follows the philosophy too downsizing TSI with its 1,197 cm3. And that means maximum power with minimum consumption. The Volkswagen Jetta is available with an optional package BlueMotion Technology (with features like a start-stop system and regeneration of the battery). From a standstill, even the version of the BlueMotion technology kilowatts 77 / 105 PS 1.2 TSI Jetta reaches 100 km / h after a short 10.9 seconds. Its maximum speed is 190 km / h. This contrasts with the establishment of reference fuel consumption and emission values: 5.3 l/100 km and 123 g / km of CO2. The 1.2 TSI attains its maximum power at 5000 rpm. Its maximum torque of 175 Newton meters available between 1,500 and 4,100 rpm. VW Jetta 1.2 TSI is mated to a 6-speed manual as standard equipment.

1.4 TSI 90 kW / 122 PS: In the middle range of engine power, the new sedan is powered by an efficient use of 1.4-liter TSI 90 kW / 122 hp (at 5000 rpm). With a combined fuel consumption of 6.2 liters Super Unleaded per 100 kilometers, the turbo engine makes manually moved Volkswagen Jetta one of the cars most fuel efficient in its class (144 g / km CO2). The 122 PS TSI takes the car to a top speed of 202 km / h. The show handles the classic 0 to 100 km / h in 9.9 seconds. In the VW Jetta, the four-cylinder engine reaches its maximum torque of 200 Newton-meters between 1500 and 4000 rpm. This version can also be ordered Volkswagen Jetta with a gearbox DSG 7 speed.

1.4 TSI with 118 kW / 160 PS: This engine twincharged, ie two turbo and supercharged, with 118 kW / 160 hp (at 5800 rpm) is very economical (fuel consumption combined with a manual gearbox: 6 , 3 l/100 km), low-emitting (147 g / km CO2) and torque strong (maximum 240 Newton meters between 1,500 and 4,500 rpm). With this engine and a manual gearbox, the Volkswagen Jetta sprints to 100 km / h in 8.3 seconds, top speed is 221 km / h. Optionally, the engine can be ordered with DSG 7 speed.

Particularly interesting is the complementarity of compressor and turbocharger. The compressor mechanically driven by a belt, the TSI increases torque at low revs. It is a unit pricing based on the principle of Roots. A particular aspect of this compressor is its internal teeth, which allows execution HPC even at low revs.

At high rpm, the turbo engine (with control of the wastegate) comes in. Then, the compressor and turbocharger working in series. The compressor is driven by an electromagnetic clutch that is integrated in a module within the water pump. A checklist to ensure that the flow of fresh air required for the operating point reaches the turbocharger or compressor. In turbo mode the pure control gate is open. Then, the air takes the familiar path of conventional turbocharged engines via the front and butterfly in the intake manifold.From the engine speed of 3,500 rpm, the compressor runs all the work on the turbocharger.

2.0 TSI 147 kW / 200 PS: In Europe and the VW Jetta with high power is a product of TSI 147 kW / 200 hp (at 6000 rpm). This 2.0-liter turbo engine is legendary, it is used in vehicles such as the Golf GTI (though this car has an extra 10 PS). In the new Jetta, the big four-cylinder TSI also offers impressive driving performance with excellent fuel economy.More than 100 kilometers, it consumes only 6.9 liters of fuel (equivalent to 160 g / km CO2), which injects directly into the four-cylinder engine that can output up to 280 Nm of torque (at From 1800 rpm). Meanwhile, the engine allows a top speed of 236 km / h.Volkswagen Jetta 2.0 TSI completes the sprint to 100 km / h in 7.5 seconds. Connected to a high torque of this engine is the 6-speed DSG is available as an option in the VW Jetta.

turbo direct injection 105 PS and 140 PS

1.6 TDI 77 kW / 105 PS: The entry-level engine in the TDI common-rail line-up for the Volkswagen Jetta in Europe is a 1.6 liter four-cylinder with 77 kW / 105 hp (4400 rpm min) and peak torque of 250 Newton-meters (1500-2500 rpm). Its combined fuel consumption (4.5 liters) represents a saving of 0.7 l/100 km compared to the previous model with unit injector technology. Upon request, the TDI can be ordered with a 7-speed DSG or a BlueMotion version Technology (5-speed manual, optional 7-speed DSG). Equipped with BlueMotion technology, fuel consumption is reduced to 4.2 l/100km (109 g / km CO2).Both versions allow engines driving performance impressive. Consider the VW Jetta 1.6 TDI BlueMotion with technology: After just 11.7 seconds, the sedan reaches the 100 km / h mark from a stop, its top speed: 190 km / h.

The technology of the cylinder 1598 cm3 four reflects the highest level in the market in this segment of vehicles. Diesel fuel is directly injected by a common rail system in the combustion chamber at a pressure of 1,600 bars, special piezo control of multiple injections and fuel volumes with extreme precision.

2.0 TDI with 103 kW / 140 PS: The greatest common rail TDI of the Volkswagen Jetta line-up is a 1968 cm3, 16-valve four-cylinder with 103 kW / 140 hp (at 4,200 rpm). At a low 1,750 rpm, the remarkably quiet TDI develops a maximum torque of 320 Nm (2500 rpm).Thank you to these key performance parameters, the TDI speeds up the VW Jetta manually moved to 100 kmh in just 9.5 seconds. Its maximum speed is 210 km / h. Here too, the combined fuel consumption is extremely low at 4.8 l/100 km; same goes for its CO2 emissions of 126 g / km.

BlueMotion technology

The VW Jetta European option can be delivered in TSI or TDI BlueMotion technology version kilowatts 77 / 105 PS power output. Among other things, this efficient technology package includes tires with low rolling resistance, the Start-Stop system and regeneration of the battery.

Start-Stop: A driver approaching a red light, the brakes of the Volkswagen Jetta to a stop, change to neutral and takes the foot off the clutch (DSG with, it’s sufficient press the pedal brake). This causes the engine to cut out momentarily. In the multifunction display the words “Stop Start” appears. When the light turns green again, the driver depresses the clutch (DSG or simply press the brake), and the engine starts, the Start menu “Stop” text is cleared, the driver commits a driving speed and resumes . Essentially, the driver did not need to make operational measures additional to a conventional car, saving even up to 0.2 liters per 100 kilometers in the city by using the Start-Stop system .

Contrary to vehicles without the system Start-Stop Technology BlueMotion models have an extra battery data module (for the acquisition momentary state of the battery), enhanced starter motor, a DC / DC (guarantees stability voltage electrical system of the vehicle) and exceptionally durable battery deep cycle glass mat board.

regeneration of the battery: Regeneration help use energy expended in driving as efficiently as possible. During coasting and braking phases of the VW Jetta – say every time the driver releases the accelerator pedal or the brakes – the system raises the voltage of the alternator (generator), and this electricity is used to load Bulk vehicle battery.

Thank you to control the alternator according to the efficiency of the engine and the battery charged so that optimal results, the voltage of the alternator can be reduced whenever it is desirable – for example when accelerating or permanently to maintain a desired speed. The generator can even be cut off entirely. This relieves the load on the engine, reducing fuel consumption. In addition, the battery, which is continuously at full load, the vehicle’s electrical supply system with sufficient energy during the stop phase of the engine (eg traffic lights). regeneration of the battery requires special software for energy management and editing software for motor control.

Gearbox 5, 6 and 7 speed

As an alternative to the gearbox 5 and 6 speed manual and most developed 6-speed automatic (only in America), the new Volkswagen Jetta will also be available with a 6-speed gearbox or 7-speed dual clutch (DSG), as the engine. Both versions are characterized by DSG maximum economy and the dynamics of change, which has never been achieved at this point before. In addition to having a different number of forward gears, another way in which the systems differ in their DSG is technically different clutch types.While the two dry clutches are used in the 7-speed DSG gearbox, dual clutch 6-speed DSG runs wet in a bath of oil. True of two gearboxes: even the most experienced professional drivers can not approach the speed of the DSG versions. Another fact: more than any automatic gearbox with double clutch have the potential to reduce emissions and fuel consumption, therefore. Compared with a manual transmission, the rewards can be as much as 12 percent, depending on the engine, and even 20 percent compared with an automatic transmission torque converter clutch. Both versions are specialists DSG specific applications. While the 6-speed DSG shines when combined with engines powerful torque (up to 350 Newton-meters), the 7-speed DSG gearbox is particularly effective in combination with smaller engines with lower torque output (up to 250 Newton meters).

Undercarriage of the new VW Jetta

In its drivability, the new Jetta is also one of the safest cars in the world. VW Jetta all versions around the world are equipped with the latest generation of ESP (electronic stabilization program) as a standard feature. Running tuning speed is as safe as it is comfortable and dynamic. A MacPherson front suspension struts with coil springs and telescopic shock absorbers are used in the Jetta. The rear multi-link suspension is at work in the Jetta GLI American (his debut in 2011 with 15 mm lower sports suspension) and the European versions, and all other U.S. versions are equipped with a rear suspension torsion beam specially adapted for the U.S. market.

This new suspension for the United States offers great comfort damping vertical, that is, it has a flexible response and is therefore perfectly suited for American roads. Nevertheless, the essentially European and therefore dynamic basic setting is still clearly visible. The transverse rigidity and lateral stiffness of the rear suspension make the car very stable directionally. In addition, the suspension also provides excellent driving stability when the car is fully charged. As part of this picture is the Volkswagen Jetta flexible but precise steering electro-mechanical systems.
