Downsizing Demonstrator Vehicle

The general principle of engine downsizing is most relevant for large or medium-sized vehicles where the potential fuel economy and emissions benefits can be maximised. The VW Passat Estate (weighing 1,600 kg) was selected as the ‘mule’ downsizing demonstrator vehicle, with the 1.8 litre turbo gasoline variant of this car providing the dynamic performance targets.
