Fiat announced its new 1.3 Multijet II engine which will be fitted as standard on the Fiat 500 and Fiat 500C.
With a fuel consumption of about 3.9liters / 100km, the Fiat 500 will hit 100 km/h in 10.7 seconds, emanating 100g/km of CO2.
The new Multijet engine has new common rail injectors which, courtesy of a balanced hydraulic servo valve, control the amount of diesel injected into the combustion chamber with a high degree of precision, making the injection sequence much faster and more flexible than previously (up to 8 injections in the same cycle).
This allows better control of the diesel combustion with benefits for consumption, emissions, noise levels and driveability.
