Unique. That's how to describe the engine of the Toyota Yaris GR 1.6. Unique, there is no other adjective to use because a 1618cc 3-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine with 261hp can't be found anywhere else! Not to mention the 360Nm available between 3000 rpm and 4600 rpm, the stuff of great engines.

The increase in torque obtainable on the small 1400 turbo is 45Nm, this means that the turbo-fuel can deliver a high power value, equal to 287Nm, which is what a good 3-liter aspirated gasoline or, for comparison, a good 2-liter turbo-petrol provided in the past decades but at speeds well beyond the 1500 rpm of our ProCeed 1.4 T-GDI.

So let's start with the initial question: How does the Giulietta 1.4TB 16V perform? As it turns out, it's fine, and it's good enough for sporty people. If anything, it's not the ideal choice for a family because the back seat area isn't entirely satisfactory, but if you already have a more suitable family car, the Giulietta 1.4TB 16V can be the sporty alternative that can give you driving satisfaction.

When you're looking for more performance, BMW's turbodiesels respond accordingly. The 2-liter common-rail engines are often the subject of our electronic tuning, both because they are so popular and because they have significant margins for power and torque gains. The 3-liter in this 3 Series is no exception.

This is the first Cupra-branded crossover; before this car, the only ones to have the Cupra brand were Seat cars, remember? The Formentor is part of the Volkswagen group, and even the engines have a lot in common with other cars of the group. Here the lines are sleek and sporty, with large wheels, very inclined rear window, and other styles found in SUVs of other car manufacturers, largely in the fashionable style of this automotive period.
