Volkswagen is set to introduce a new family of petrol and diesel 1.5 litre engines to replace its existing ranges, AutoExpress reports. The new line is said to rolled out over the next few years, replacing the 1.4 TSI petrol and 1.6 TDI diesel engines that are widely used within the Volkswagen Group.
As to be expected, the new four-cylinder engines are designed to comply with stricter emissions regulations that will be introduced in the near future, including the 2020 Euro 6c standard. Sounds familiar? Proton’s new GDI and TGDI engines have the same target.
“The installation of the engine in cars like the Golf and A3 is very straightforward. The engines are all new but their dimensions are very similar to what we currently use, so they can slot into existing cars or facelifts,” a high-level Volkswagen source told the UK publication.
The upcoming Volkswagen Golf facelift is said to be first in line to receive the new petrol motor. The new 1.5 litre diesel engine, meanwhile, tasked to replace the now infamous Diesegate-affected 1.6 TDI line-up, will only come into production a year later, likely in the Audi A3.

So VW follows p1?
Meantime 1NZ-FE still in use until 4040
Will the new family still exhibits high chance of engine stalls and piston cracks?
Change all types of engines still no difference. DSG is DSG. Sure to kaput
U think they won’t improve on the transmission? Ever?
for years they have been lying. I doubt they will improve. Now 8 years still lying. VGM worse, deny completely. VGM say DSG is fine from day one.
It’s hard to improve these things. Dual-clutch is an unnecessarily complex gearbox for a normal car, regardless of brand. The wear and tear (and heat output) of these things are huge, and they sure to go kaput really quick. That’s why they’re mainly used in high performance cars.
I’ll just get the car with a manual gearbox :)
the prob is, there’s no VW model sold in Msia with a manual option!
I know… it’s a shame. I’m now owner of a 1.4 TSI with 6 speed manual. It’s a blast, and it won’t break easily.
Sounds familiar? VW needs to sell 10 million cars compliant to Euro 6.
Proton – nothing to say.
PaulTan team – come on have some editorial integrity. Why compare Proton’s nonsense with VW. Can you please make a stand on Proton’s strategy moving forward? I know you are just reporting the news, but any respectable car blog (refer Jalopnik) would make a stand on car industry developments. Do it.
So what here compare here even rubbish myvi with luxurious bentley. Who are you to gove orders? We dun care and we dun mind, problem?
That is the problem of proton, they r too ambitious in setting standards for european market but their market share over there is too niche. Meanwhile they fail to understand the local needs, which malaysia’s policy maker r not dat strict. They always waste their budget in dat way, n loose to perodua in terms of satisfying local needs. N thus the price difference which we malaysians have to pay.
The reason why Proton is trying to comply with all EU standards is because they are trying to relaunch the brand/reenter the European, Indian and Chinese market in 2017-18, build factories in China, Turkey and Bangladesh (it’s in their plans, look it up!), and then say goodbye to Msians and their pathetic mindset. They know they will die if they stay in kampung forever. Either they do or die. (Or die trying).
Ya ya if p1 uses newer CVT they bash when p2 toyotaik uses ancient engine and gearbox they worship like god. Topkek
It honestly is very incredibly stupid to mention p1 bla bla were the article is talking about vw n its furure plans,u guys jus saw a common denominator in 1.5t n thats it,now the whole thread is about p1…really wow!
3 German Words…
“Temberang durch Technik!”
Mention p1 terus kena bash
What to do, if not bash nanti no comission pulak coz no sales. So later will say dual vvti is more powerful than turbo. Lol
I shall wait for Civic 1.5 turbo
you have to wait at least 5 years from now
Is it a coincident that all current mainstream engines are direct injected 1.5 turbo…? VW, Ford, Honda, Proton, etc etc
Toyota might as well… To introduce its 1.5 in near future
