The turbocharged, direct-injection 1.4-litre gasoline engine produces 103kW and Z50Nm between l,500rpm and 3,500rpm. To improve efficiency the unit benefits from cylinder deactivation - using two cylinders at low loads. The technology has also been used on Audi's high-performance S models and is a development of the valvelif t system that varies the stroke of the valves on the second and third cylinders and stops them at low and moderate engine loads.
