Q. Venue DCT is only 1.0 litre so how 998 cc is stronger than other available 1200cc and 1600cc engines?

The 1.0 is a direct injection Turbo charged engine. Which pumps fuel directly into the combusion chamber at a very high pressure. Coupled with a turbo charger. Other than this 1.0 GDi engine, the only other real turbo petrol engine is the EcoBoost 1.0 (@125bhp) on the EcoSport S. Suzuki also has a similar 1.0 BoosterJet engine in global market which is yet to make its way into India. When comparing with larger 1.5/1.6L naturally aspirated engines, do notice that they make the power at slightly lower RPMs compared to turbo engines which will make the same power in the top end rev bands.All other petrol engines such as 1.2 on Nexon or XUV 300 are just MPFi engines with a turbo added. Hyundai-Kia also has higher variants of this 1.0 GDi turbo which are 1.4 GDi (on Seltos) making 140 bhp and 1.6 GDi making 177bhp in the international market.

My question and confusion is the same. How a less CC engine (1000 CC) is more powerful and have a more torque than higher engine (1200 CC), Today visited the show room of Hyundai at Nagpur; but not satisfied. I had a Hyundai car, and wish to purchase Venew.

Turbocharger pushes in compressed air into the engine , this increases efficiency and in turn the power produced. So even for a smaller cylinder size the power produced is higher because of the turbocharger

Power of a vehicle does not depend on CC...insted it depends on the technology....Like our old bajaj schooter was 150cc producing 7 to 8 bhp....but now a days 100 cc bike produce similar power....

Actually it's a 1 litre turbo charged engine. And 1.2 litre normal engine (same as i10). It's like comparing apples and oranges!

Engine tuning . For eg take Yamaha r15 engine . Small engine of 150 cc tuned to produce 19 hp . That's max in its class
