Peugeot, renowned vehicle manufacturer, announces the arrival of its new gasoline engine, the “Turbo 100”, which promises to revolutionize the driving experience and optimize the performance of its compact models. Projetado with a focus on prolonging the pleasure of driving, the new product is already available to equip the brand’s most popular vehicles, reinforcing its commitment to innovation, efficiency and durability. Este launch is a significant step for the automaker, which is constantly seeking to improve its offering in the automotive market, combining cutting-edge technology with an extended warranty program.
The Turbo 100 engine, developed by the engineers at Peugeot, represents a new generation of combustion engines, incorporating 70% of new components in its total value. Dentre innovations include the timing chain, a variable geometry turbocharger, a modernized injection system, new pistons and a redesigned engine block. Tais elements contribute to superior performance, both in terms of power and torque and energy efficiency, positioning the new engine as a robust and reliable alternative in the segment.
The introduction of this technology reinforces Peugeot’s vision of offering a diverse range of engines, which includes electric, hybrid and combustion options, all developed to guarantee the essence of driving pleasure. The brand maintains the premise that the choice of engine should not compromise the driving experience, but rather elevate it, providing drivers with an ideal combination of performance, economy and lower environmental impact.
Improved technology and performance
The Turbo 100 engine, a 3-cylinder block with 1,199 cm³, delivers a maximum power of 101 hp (74 kW) at 5,500 rpm and a robust torque of 205 Nm, available from 1,750 rpm. Essa configuration is essential to offer dynamic acceleration and power recovery at low speeds, characteristics that translate into more agile and pleasurable driving, both in urban environments and on roads. The development of this engine focused on meeting the demands of a public that values the vehicle’s immediate response.
One of the most notable innovations is the new variable geometry turbocharger, which optimizes engine response especially at low speeds. Isso is directly reflected in the ease of driving in urban traffic and safety when overtaking, providing a feeling of control and confidence to the driver in any driving condition. The Peugeot has invested in a design that ensures that power and torque are always available when needed.
The high-pressure direct injection system, which operates at 350 bar, is crucial to the fuel economy and emissions control of the Turbo 100. Essa combination of technologies significantly improves the thermal efficiency of combustion, resulting in lower consumption and emissions.
High reliability and durability
The durability of the Turbo 100 engine is one of the pillars of its design. The adoption of the timing chain, replacing the timing belt, is a measure that aims to increase the useful life of the component and reduce the need for preventive maintenance. Esta technological choice reflects Peugeot’s commitment to offering vehicles that not only perform well, but are also synonymous with robustness and longevity.
In addition to the timing chain, the engine block, pistons and rings were redesigned to contribute to the overall robustness of the assembly and help control oil consumption, an important factor in maintaining performance and mechanical integrity over time. Esses improvements are the result of intense engineering work focused on every detail of the engine.
During the development process, the Turbo 100 engine was subjected to extremely rigorous endurance tests carried out under extreme conditions. Mais of 30,000 hours were dedicated to bench tests, which reproduced a wide range of driving situations. Além Furthermore, the prototypes equipped with the
Availability and maintenance plan
The new Peugeot 208 models equipped with the Turbo 100 engine will be available on the market from March 2026. Essa gradual launch strategy allows the brand to manage the technological transition and ensure that vehicles reach consumers with maximum quality and preparation.
To ensure maximum peace of mind for owners, the Peugeot 208 and 2008 models equipped with the Turbo 100 engine will benefit from the Peugeot Care program. Este program offers an extended warranty of up to 8 years or 160,000 km, covering both the battery (in hybrid or electric vehicles, if applicable) and the vehicle as a whole, providing an additional layer of security and confidence in your brand choice.
- Service every 2 years/25,000 km
- Intermediate annual check
In addition to the extended warranty, vehicles with the new Turbo 100 engine will have a reduced maintenance plan. The review will now be carried out every 2 years or 25,000 km, a significant increase compared to the previous period of 1 year or 20,000 km. Essa optimization of maintenance intervals, which includes only an intermediate annual check, represents considerable savings for owners, in addition to simplifying the management of the vehicle’s useful life and contributing to the reduction of long-term operating costs.
