Hello, today I drove the Ateca 1.0 TSI to the test. It’s natural to “lock it out” as a weak engine. What should I say?. I was already very surprised at the start, the engine pulls the Ateca really well, feels almost “easy” and the engine is really quiet. Only when turning up, you feel and hear the 3 cylinders through, but not unpleasant. Also clear that there is not much more from 4000 tours, so better to switch up earlier. Al When my wife drove, you didn’t hear anything from the engine at all, she drives passively, never gets firmly on the gas and switches up already at 2000-2500 tours. Also on the highway was heard at 130/140 nix, same internal volume as on the highway. We did not drive faster, because in AT not allowed. The little one accelerates even from 120 really well and attracts adaptable. We were three with almost 300 kilos on board. So the engine is really a big surprise for me. After that with the 1. 5 TSI 130 hp (the dealer only had the Tiguan). Although the tiger seems richer and lightly a class higher, the engine was a gray one. Right at the start, we heard it roaring very rough and the “frequency” inside was unpleasant. Unfortunately, over the entire ride, even on the highway at 130 so strongly audible that we stopped the ride as it went right into the head. My wife and I had exactly the same feeling. Am really shocked by the engine, can that be? Now the Ateca will drive as 1.5 TSI 150 hp to have a comparison, but one thing I can say. I like the 1.0 TSI right away, really a fine engine and in the Ateca sooooooo quiet. Thank you Robert [From motor talk from the topic ‘1.5 TSI loud and rough, but the 1.0 TSI so quiet and hard to hear’.]
