An enhanced Fiat Powertrain diesel engine will get its first outing in the revised Saab 9-3 later this summer.
The 1.9 litre unit develops 180 hp compared to the 150 hp which it currently produces. Fiat Powertrain have increased the output by using dual turbochargers, a smaller one to provide peak power at lower revs and a larger one which takes over above 3,000 rpm.
A 190 hp version will be used only in Fiat Group cars, and is expected to debut in a Lancia next year. BB.
