1.0 TSI "CHZ / CHZC" Engine [e.g. Polo, Golf, Fabia, Rapid]

The 1.0 TSI is a three-cylinder turbocharged engine developed by the Volkswagen Group, launched in 2015. It was designed to replace older four-cylinder engines in smaller cars, offering better performance and lower fuel consumption. The engine’s code name is CHZC, and it is used in several Volkswagen, SEAT and Škoda models.

The engine’s biggest advantage is its compact size and light weight. With a displacement of just 1.0 litre, it’s one of the smallest engines on the market, yet it still delivers plenty of power for city driving. It features direct injection and a turbocharger, allowing it to produce up to 115 horsepower and 200 Nm of torque. Efficiency is class-leading, with fuel consumption of only around 4-5 litres per 100 km - an excellent figure for an engine this size.

The CHZC engine performs excellently in city driving, but it also runs smoothly on the motorway. It runs quietly with minimal vibration, making for a more pleasant driving experience. Maintenance needs are low, thanks to long service intervals and affordable spare parts.

These cars are popular city cars, and thanks to the 1.0 TSI engine, they are very economical to run. The engine has proven reliable and durable, and has been a major success across the Volkswagen Group’s model range.
