The regular Mk8 Golf uses a 1.5 litre turbocharged four-pot instead of the previous-gen’s 1.4 litre unit. The 150 PS/250 Nm rating is similar to the Malaysian-market Mk7.5 TSI. Paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch DSG gearbox, 0-100 km/h is done in 8.5 seconds while top speed is 224 km/h. Our outgoing Golf TSI does 8.2 seconds and 216 km/h.
The 1.5L engine comes with Active Cylinder Management (ACT), where half of the four cylinders can be switched off at lower loads, benefiting fuel economy and emissions. Speaking of FC, the claimed figure is 20.8 km/l, which is 2.6 km/l better than before.
