VW Golf 1.0 TSI test - In the compact class, here is what is going on. The best example is the Gulf itself.

Addition there are various sporting variants - GTD, GTI, golf R - and evenmodels with alternative drives. But conventional motors, motion there is always. New on the shelf around the triple turbo gasoline engine emits 1.0 TSI. He may showtogether with the sedan what he can, in our test.

1.0 TSI: three cylinder, lots of power, little fuss

The lively hustle and bustle comes in the compact class of course not approximately, because nowhere else the competition is so great. And since even the lead Wolf of Wolfsburg must stretch to maintain its demonstration position against rivals such as the BMW, the Seat Leon, the Opel Astra, the Audi A3 or the Mazda 3. As a tool tomaintain the dominant position VW is among other things the regular refresher or rejuvenation of the engine range. Recently, in April 2015, about two Turbo petrol engines have been added: the 180 PS strong 1.8 TSI, which fix coupled on a 4WD, andthe 115 HP strong 1.0 TSI, now also in the Gulf to make acceptable the three-cylindertechnology. In Polo, the three-cylinder is already successful in driving, in the Gulf buthe lifts a little more performance: in addition to the mentioned 115 PS there are 200nm peak torque, which take between 2,000 and 3,500 rpm. From there, thehorsepower then assume command, that blow from 5,000 rpm to full number towardsthe front. And Yes, storm meets the inaugural of the 999 CC big midget quite well, at least he can be in less than 10 seconds - 9.7 are exact - from 0 to 100 km/h speed up the approximately 1,200 kilo golf. And who has once really in a hurry who can the three-cylinder even 204 km/h top speed elicit.

Better may want to assess the numbers we them the 110 PS compare with powerfulfour-cylinder engine 1.2 TSI. With 9.9 seconds for the standard Sprint and 195 km/h atthe top has the larger Turbo looking up; clearly, one must add, because even in theintermediate sprints he won't come behind the newcomer. In the fourth he needs for example only 8.5 seconds from 80 to 120 km/h while the 110-PSler 10; and in 5thgear, the comparison with 11 to 13 is also in favor of the 1.0 TSI.

Golf 1.0 TSI: frugal, agile and comfortable

There, the pension will expect so soon the 1.2 TSI, you'd think. But no, far from. Thefour-cylinder is yourself only a year old and is offered in addition to the further 1.0TSI. The latter is also another layer, he is but a member of the VW-saving motor elite"BlueMotion" and as such en-masse with efficiency-enhancing technologies andadditions. These include adjustments of the engine management and translation as well as aerodynamic improvements to the grille or underbody and a deeper scalebody. These support measures are a responsible that the Gulf with only 5 HP almoststronger 1.0 TSI creates more top speed 10 km/h; and on the other, that the three-cylinder work noticeably better. The new European driving cycle determines adifference of 0.7 litres, there are concrete for 116 grams of CO2 for the 1.2 TSI, the TSI1.0 and 5.0 4.3 or 99 g CO2. In the test, the average consumption of the three cylinder with 5.5 is good half a liter under which of the four cylinder, also the tax burden halved in practice through the lower carbon dioxide emissions.

That a very fair offer, in particular also because nearly 1,100 EUR that the VW Golf with the 1.0 TSI is more expensive, therefore it is still a sport suspension and 15-inch alloy wheels are included. Quieter, as promised by VW, the three-cylinder not workinghowever, what but fact is that the four-cylinder is already very quiet purrs. Full speedis the VW with the 1.0 TSI, however, no quiet wallflower, but an extremely agile andentertaining Companion. Neither the suspension comfort come in short the security, for example a multiple collision brake is already installed at the factory.
Golf is golf

Otherwise, we have from our exit to the Gulf to report 1.0 TSI actually not much new.The rest which is as well-known as classical, short of quality. The operation is clear andobvious, generous processing and design of exemplary - and space. In terms ofstorage volume of 4.26 metres long Golf even in the seventh generation blows up nolimits, but with 380 to 1,270 litres he puts most competitors loose in the Pocket. The 1 series BMW offers e.g. 360 to 1,200 litres, the A3 Sportback Audi 380 up to 1,220 andthe Seat Leon 380 to 1,210 litres.

Conclusion: The new VW Golf knows how to keep the competition at Bay. And withthe fresh, economical and yet powerful competing three-cylinder turbo gasoline engine he has now a more powerful runner in its ranks.
