It seems Fiat will introduce a new 1.3 diesel engine for the 500C and I think for the normal 500 as well.
Start/Stop system will be available for the 1.4 petrol engine and will be standard for the new 1.3 diesel engine but there is no start/stop option for the old 1.3 (75HP).

Certainly the 90 is supposedly coming for the Qubo, and the Mito already has it. So it appears the 90 performance has been uprated.

Might this be the new Multijet 2 injection system coming in September I wonder I wonder? These will have the usual performance and economy benefits, plus greatly reduced CO2 emissions.

No. I just noticed, it's the start and stop version. Oh well...

200nm & 95bhp, that would be just dandy :)

Better start get a kidney on ebay...

Agree! :D
I like my 1.4 but the characteristic of a diesel engine is better (for me). So it would be great if I my next cinq will have this new engine but first let's wait for the new 2 cylinder engines and after that we will see which one is the best!
 
I seem to recall in very early threads about boosting the diesel power output there was a question mark over the ability of the transmission to cope with the extra BHP/Torque.

No one was ever able to clarify the statement but if there was any foundation does this mean that there will be a new transmission as well?

As the engine capacity is the same on both cars does this mean that the extra power has been achieved by remapping the ECU as opposed to mechanical improvements?

If this is the case and the transmission remains the same what would be the chances of Fiat offering the remap as an upgrade for older engines, similar in principle to the power upgrade on the Abarth esseesse?
 
It's more than just a remap, it's a whole new fuel injection system with an even more finely measured fuel delivery. 'Multijet 2' is the official title. If indeed this is what the new 95 is - but I think so.

Both torque and performance, and economy, are improved. Particularly torque and emissions. For this reason I doubt it will be as laggy as the current 90, since the low end torque is enhanced.

I would hope that transmissions will be upgraded to cope; Fiat Powertrain is soon to bring a new automatic to production and I assume the other transmissions will get improvements too, or they could use the transmission currently fitted with the 1.6?

There is a 3 litre Diesel Multijet 2 coming soon which puts out only 150 carbon dioxides, which is less than my old 1.9 JTD. Fantastic. So you can see the improvements the new engineering will bring. And this is before they fit the Multiair valve system to the Diesels in a couple of years. Actually Multiair seemingly delivers smaller improvements with Diesels as they are inherently more economical.

But, by this time next year I'd expect all Fiat petrol engines to be the new Multiair twins up to about 105 BHP, and the Multiair 1.4s and 1.8s above, probably all with direct injection too. The 1.8 arrives with the Mito later this year, without Multiair but with direct injection. Give it a year and the engine range will be equalled across the board with all having the improvements.

This is my take on the Powertrain developments anyway.

PS. You can see why Fiat has such good prospects in the US, particularly as they have just introduced new CAFE requirements.

Could be one of the new DDCT boxes :)
 
Is that a variation on the DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission). If so I would be sorely tempted. The only caveat would be the particulate filter, that is unless Fiat somehow manage to make it more tolerant of city driving.
Yes it's a dual dry clutch tranny.
 
The Abarth will have the 1.4 Mutiair by then too.

So, in twelve months a complete range of new engines.

Fantastic.

The 0.9 65 gives 83mpg by the way.

I'd like to see actual measurements. The way in which fuel economy is tested is a joke.......
