The 1.4-litre petrol engine can produce 138 bhp or 168bhp.  Hooked up with a DSG gearbox, the less powerful unit enables the Golf to run the 0-62mph in 8.8 seconds, achieves a top speed of 205 km\/h and yet consumes an average of only 7.1 litres of fuel in urban traffic and a mere 5.7 litres on the cruise.<\/p>\n<p>The small engine will be featured on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.petrol-head.com\/2007\/12\/first-official.html\">new Superb<\/a>, the first large saloon to be equipped with such a tiny engine. Do not expect to see the 1.4-litre on a future Audi A4 or A6, even a Passat as company sources revealed that customers were not ready to drive executive saloons with small engines. Maybe the success of the Superb might change the minds. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Volkswagen has received two awards in Japan for its TSI engines in the Car of the Year categories of \u201cMost Advanced Technology Award 2008\u201d and \u201cTechnology of the Year\u201d.
