Is the 1.2 petrol TSI golf similar in power to the 1.6 diesel engine golf please?
Hi Reidin,
Yes, although there are two versions. The basic 1.2 TSI has 85hp, so is significantly less powerful than the 115hp 1.6 TDI diesel, but there is a 110hp version of the 1.2, which more or less matches the diesel. That said, the diesel has higher torque levels than the petrol, so it will always have more low-down ‘oomph.’
