German car manufacturer, Volkswagen, has introduced four new petrol engine options for the Passat and Tiguan range in UK. The four new petrol engines include - 1.4-litre TSI which produces 122bhp of power, 1.4-litre TSI with Active Cylinder technology that produces 145bhp of power, 1.8-litre TSI that produces 175bhp of power and a 2.0-litre TSI engine that produces 214bhp of power.
Taking things to the next level, Volkswagen now offers the sporty R-Line trim with the entry-level 1.4-litre TSI petrol engine that generates 145bhp of power. The fresh revision allows buyers with budget constraints to opt for the more stylish and sporty R-Line variant. Six-speed manual and seven-speed automatic transmission option is offered across the new petrol engine options. The Tiguan is limited to 1.4-litre TSI and 1.4-litre TSI ACT engine options, while the Passat Saloon and the Passat Estate are available in all engine options.
Speaking about the new petrol engines, Wes Withey, Volkswagen UK Product Marketing Manager, said, “Adding petrol engine options to our popular Passat family, in particular, is a great step forward. Powerful, refined and frugal – these new petrol units make the Passat more accessible in terms of price, as well as further broadening the cars’ already extensive appeal.”
