New state of the art three-cylinder petrol engine debuts in Vauxhall Adam
20 Feb 2014|4,304 views
The power unit will come in two power outputs - 88bhp and 113bhp.
The marque claims both deliver strong, low-end torque of 166Nm from just 1,800rpm - which is almost 30 percent more pulling power than the naturally aspirated 1.6-litre - generates at the same rpm. The 113bhp rated power unit extends the torque plateau to up to 4,700rpm.
Like the two new 1.6-litre units Vauxhall had launched recently, the new 1.0-litre offers benchmark refinement with outstandingly low noise, vibration and harshness.
With Start/Stop functionality as standard, the 88bhp version gives the Adam a fuel consumption as low as 26.4km/L on the combined cycle, with CO2 emissions of just 99g/km, according to preliminary data. Efficiency enablers include direct fuel injection, variable valve timing, all aluminium construction and a switchable water pump.
The first in a completely new family of small displacement petrol engines, the 1.0-litre is the next step in Vauxhall's powertrain offensive following the recent introduction of new 1.6-litre mid-size petrol and diesel engine families.
With a number of clever engineering features, the new 1.0-litre is more refined than other three-cylinder engines, and much quieter than many four-cylinder units.
The Vauxhall/Opel Adam is the first car in the range to receive the new, all aluminium 1.0-litre Ecotec Direct Injection Turbo petrol engine that has been developed at Vauxhall/Opel's International Technical Development Centre.
