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 ECOMOTIVE and 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.

Hybrid cars: TGI with CNG and petrol

The TGI cars by SEAT combine petrol and compressed natural gas (CNG), saving up to 30% compared to a petrol engine only. 

Advantages of a TGI car:

• Using these two types of fuels, we reduce CO2 emissions and improve the air quality and environment.
• The price to fill in the CNG tank is much lower than when refuelling with any other fuel, which overall helps the driver reduce costs.
• In cities where the pollution levels are high, you will be able to drive through the streets with the minimum environmental impact.

Which cars combine CNG and petrol?

• SEAT Ibiza TGI: We have one hybrid engine, the 1.0 TGI 66kW MQ (90HP) with a combined fuel consumption 5.0 l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions 114 g/km.

• SEAT Leon TGI: with 85kw (110 HP), it can drive up to 1.360 km using this hybrid combination.
• SEAT Arona TGI: we have one engine with gasoline and gas, the 1.0 TGI 66 kW MQ (90HP).

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, all the ECOMOTIVE engines and many of the other car models 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.
