Volkswagen’s dual charged TSI engines have bagged the "International Engine of the Year Award" in the category "1 litre to 1.4 litres" for the third time. It wasn’t a twist of fate for those who doubt the capabilities of the 103 kW (140 PS) and 125 kW (170 PS) TSIs. These two are charged by both a turbocharger and a supercharger, are among the most efficient petrol engines in the planet today…Now that’s the bottom-line! Oh yes, they really deserve it.

The motto for these engines is "maximum dynamics with minimum fuel consumption". And that’s the reason why the jury, consisting of 65 journalists from 32 different countries across the world, has unanimously agreed with the result according to one jury member. Dr Rüdiger Szengel, Head of Petrol Engine Development, accepted the award for Volkswagen.

"Our TSI engines have set the standard since their introduction in the performance class of 90 kW to 125 kW. They achieve new levels of economy for petrol engines while providing performance that offers real fun. We take it as a compliment to the entire development team that our TSI has won again in the displacement class to 1.4 litres,” says Dr Rüdiger Szengel.

Furthermore, an additional honor highlights the Volkswagen Group’s huge proficiency in building engines. On the other hand, Audi notched first place in the category 1.8 litres to 2.0 litres with the 2.0 TSI.

Volkswagen has done it once again; for the third time around…Hopefully, by next year, we’ll see the Volks at the winning spot again. Congratulations and cheers!
