New Peugeot Turbo 100 gasoline engine has timing chain

third generation

The Turbo 100 is a third-generation engine and consists of seventy percent new components. Key components include the timing chain, turbocharger, injection system, pistons and engine block. The Turbo 100 engine will be available for the Peugeot 208 from March 2026. Introduction for the Peugeot 2008 will follow in May 2026.

Performance

The Turbo 100 engine is a three-cylinder with a displacement of 1,199 cm³. Maximum power is 74 kW (100 hp) at 5,500 rpm. Maximum torque is 205 Nm and is available from 1,750 rpm. The new variable geometry turbocharger optimizes the engine’s response at low revs, Peugeot promises.

More economical

A new high-pressure direct injection system (350 bar) contributes to more efficient fuel consumption of 5.1 liters per 100 kilometers for 208 and 5.7 liters per 100 kilometers for 2008. In addition, the engine features a valve timing system that reduces internal friction. New piston heads and operation according to the Miller cycle with a high compression ratio also improve the thermal efficiency of combustion.

Improved reliability

The Turbo 100 engine is equipped with a long-life timing chain. The engine block, pistons and piston rings have also been newly developed. These should contribute to a stronger construction and controlled oil consumption.

Test session

During development, the Turbo 100 engine underwent very intensive endurance testing under extreme conditions. In total, the engine ran for more than 30,000 hours on test benches simulating all possible driving situations. Prototypes with the Turbo 100 also covered more than 3 million kilometers. Several vehicles exceeded the 200,000 kilometer mark in the process.

Less maintenance

Models with the new Turbo 100 engine benefit from longer service intervals. A service is now required every 2 years or 25,000 km (previously every year or 20,000 km). Intermediate checks take place annually.
