Fiat 500 to get a new engine
Fiat’s New Small Gasoline Engine that will make its premiere on the 500 mini. The newest 0.9-liter twin-cylinder engine features turbocharging and Fiat’s Multiair technology that controls the intake valves, depending on the horsepower needed.
Fiat says that while the new engine offers the same performance as a larger naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, fuel economy and, as a consequence, CO2 emissions are significantly improved.
In addition to the advantages in fuel consumption, the twin-cylinder engine is also said to be 20 per cent lighter in weight and more compact in size compared to a 4-cylinder engine with the same output.
The new two-cylinder engine is expected to be offered in two turbocharged variants developing 80HP and 105HP while Fiat will add a 65HP naturally aspirated version, also equipped with the Multiair system followed up by a CNG version.
The twin-cylinder engine will find its way on the Fiat Group’s A- and B-Segment models like the Fiat 500, Panda and Punto EVO.
