SEAT cars engines: Diesel, petrol and gas.

The engines of our SEAT models offer an extraordinary performance and a stable and smooth driving experience. Our cars are known for providing a powerful and reliable ride thanks to direct injection and turbocharging with TSI and TDI engines, as well as for taking care of the environment with engines such as the new TGI engines, characterized by low pollution, low emissions, and low fuel consumption.

Petrol engines

At SEAT, we offer 2 types of petrol cars, also known as gasoline: the TSI and ECOMOTIVE, and a hybrid version that combines this fuel with compressed natural gas (CNG)

TSI: Turbo Stratified

TSI is our pioneering technology for petrol engines. TSI engines are compact, high-powered and use less fuel. TSI technology blends the best of our TDI diesel and FSI (fuel stratified direct injection) petrol engines to give you excellent driveability and outstanding fuel economy.

Acceleration is instant, so overtaking is safer and you can power smoothly up hills with no delay. By adding a turbocharger and a supercharger to the fuel-injected engine (hence TSI), we have developed an engine with small car fuel economy and emissions, but the power of something much bigger.

Which cars have a TSI engine?

ECOMOTIVE engines

Another way to reduce gas expenses and contribute to a cleaner air is to opt for the ECOMOTIVE version.

SEAT cars with Ecomotive:

• SEAT Leon:  The 1.0 TSI ECOMOTIVE engine has an output of 85kW (115HP), and reduces fuel consumption to 4.8 l/100 km and emissions to 108g/100km.
• SEAT Leon Sportstourer: The 1.0 TSI ECOMOTIVE engines has an output of 85kW (115HP), and reduces fuel consumption to 4.8l / 100km and emissions to 108g/100km.

SEAT diesel cars: TDI

Our diesel cars are more advanced and improved than ever, with the TDI technology, which stands for Turbo Diesel Injection.
The TDI badge characterises SEAT diesel engines featuring direct injection and turbocharging. Characteristic features of SEAT’s TDI technology are the economical fuel consumption, low emissions, high pulling power (torque) and outstanding performance for more driving pleasure.

Start & Stop System

In addition, many engines are equipped with the innovative automatic start & stop system, which shuts the engine down at standstill to save fuel. Many also use the brake energy recovery systems to reduce fuel consumption without sacrificing vehicle dynamics, which is the case of the Alhambra and Ibiza.
