Jeffrey 1st Gear March 15, 2020 Share March 15, 2020 9 hours ago, Treestar said: Well 1.4TSI is a veteran engine so hopefully it has been improved over the yrs. Avoid the 1.5 with hybrid batt...afyer warranty, batt replacement cost is a bomb.. Personally, as a techie, my preference is the new 1.5L mild hybrid engine. A new engine would have tech improvements, and a bigger engine (same hp and torque) would be less stress on the components. It also comes with the 7 sp dsg (hopefully wet) and the battery pack (boast power for 10 secs) should be a treat for driving on NSHW. But I am sure PA studied the option and picked the old 1.4L engine insted - perhaps for costs, VES banding, etc. In Asia Pacific, only Hong Kong (afaik) has the 1.5L engine. As for warranty, its not a big issue for me - since we are covered for 5 years. Anyway, its a done deal for the Q3 in SG - so its idle talk!😊 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I test drove the X1 and don’t like the engine. Very rough. Though I like the 218i Gran coupe. Maybe because it’s lighter Edited March 15, 2020 by Htancl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not entirely sure the 1.4 is the same as the old one. I believe there is a slightly newer engine to mate with MQB platform (but not brand new). This was mentioned in one of the Aussie reviews I saw. https://www.motorreviewer.com/engine.php?engine_id=116 Edited March 15, 2020 by Fiat5oo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many pay attention to the the type of engine and gearbox. Most see the car nice with all the latest tech enough for him to book without even test drive.
