New eight-speed automatic gearbox
To deliver the desired responsive, smooth and fuel-efficient drivability, the engines are teamed either with a new eight-speed automatic gearbox or an enhanced six-speed manual, tuned for improved fuel economy.

"The sophisticated Drive-E technologies give the customer high performance, improved fuel economy, considerably lower emissions and a powerful sound character. Our four-cylinder engines will offer higher performance than today's six-cylinder units and lower fuel consumption than the current four-cylinder generation," says Derek Crabb. He adds: "If you take a four-cylinder Drive-E engine versus any six-cylinder engine, there's a massive weight and size reduction for the same power. Fuel economy savings are anything from 10 to 30 per cent, depending on which engine you're comparing it to."

Petrol engine with compressor and turbo
Using the supercharger to fill in the bottom end torque gives the petrol engine a big, naturally aspirated feel. The mechanically linked compressor starts to function immediately at low revs, while the turbocharger kicks in when the airflow builds up.

Other improvements to the Drive-E petrol engines include friction-reduction measures such as ball bearings on the camshaft, high-speed continuous variable valve timing and intelligent heat management with a fully variable electric water pump.


i-Art 那些UCAR有提到就不講了, DRIVE-E動力系統都是四缸還是in-house的喔, 新車搭載八速手自排或改良的六速手排

輸出:
柴油 120 to 230 hp
汽油直噴 140 to 300+ hp
T6大概就是雙增壓306 hp
柴油D5四缸雙渦輪230 hp 感覺很迷人, 早買早享受, 只能這樣安慰自己 😭
內文提到: 提高壓力到2500bar輔以i-Art等技術, 改善油耗, 大幅降低排放並提高性能
連聲音都更man了😆
The combination of higher injection pressure and i-Art technology gives the customer an engine with improved fuel economy, considerably lower emissions and high performance output as well as a powerful sound character.
