What Does TSI Stand For?

What Does TSI Stand For?®

TSI stands for "Turbocharged Stratified Injection." This technology is used in Volkswagen engines to improve performance and fuel efficiency by combining turbocharging and direct fuel injection. The turbocharger increases the amount of air entering the engine, while the stratified injection system optimizes the fuel-air mixture for better combustion.


TSI® vehicles by Volkswagen stand out due to their combination of turbocharging and direct fuel injection, which offers several key benefits:

  1. Improved Performance: The turbocharger boosts engine power by forcing more air into the combustion chamber, resulting in better acceleration and overall performance.

  2. Fuel Efficiency: Direct fuel injection ensures a precise fuel-air mixture, optimizing combustion and reducing fuel consumption compared to traditional engines.

  3. Lower Emissions: The efficient combustion process helps lower CO2 emissions, making TSI® engines more environmentally friendly.

  4. Compact Design: TSI engines are often smaller and lighter than naturally aspirated engines with similar power output, contributing to better handling and efficiency.

Enhanced Driving Experience: The combination of turbocharging and direct injection provides a smooth and responsive driving experience with plenty of low-end torque for better drivability.
