However, we are unable to confirm whether VGM will be bringing the single turbo-charged or the twin-charged model of the Golf 1.4 TSI. The car is target to be priced at the mark of RM140k. Besides, the 265hp VW Golf R and VW Scirocco 1.4 TSI will be introducing at the same time. Meantime, let me introduce you the amazingly awesome Golf 1.4 TSI.

This single-charged TSI power plant able to hits a top speed of 200km/h and a 0-100km/h acceleration of 9.5 seconds,  The new efficiency benchmarks set by the single-charged TSI power plants that mated with the 7-speed DSG gearbox and consumption figures of 6 litres/100km. Do take note that the new Golf GTI Mk-6 still having the 6-speed DSG gearbox but the 7-Speed DSG for 1.4 is more for eco-efficiency than sport.

For the twin-charged model of the 1.4 TSI, the engine producing 160bhp and 240Nm of torque from 2,000rpm, and also paired with the 7-speed DSG, taking 0-100km/h in 8 seconds which is still slower than the bigger sibling – GTI by 1.1 seconds but is consider very good from a 1.4 engine. With the huge force induction applied, the car force to hit top speed of 220km/h. The 7-speed DSG helps to offer a better fuel efficiency on highway cruising.
