Undoubtedly Fiat's MJD

nitrous · 24th December 2009, 16:15

Fiat multijet was released in 2007.
Doesn't belong here.

SamtheLeo · 24th December 2009, 16:15

Certainly Fiat Engine, after the govt duty cut. This has become our national engine, it has been fitted in so many brands & models that it actually amazes me by the diversity in performance each company has got out of it.

Swift
Ritz
Swift Dzire
Tata Indica Vista Quadrajet
Fiat Linea
Fiat Punto
Fiat Palio Style

theragingbull · 24th December 2009, 16:18

I think it's Skoda's 1.8TSI. What a performer!

DCEite · 24th December 2009, 16:19

1. What is Fiat Multijet doing here ?
2. Where is K12 M(Ritz) engine?

clevermax · 26th December 2009, 10:58

I doubt all these engines are introduced in year 2009. But if that's not a criteria, there is absolutely no doubt that it is the Fiat 1.3 MJD. Show another engine which is so widely used in many cars from several brands.

ImmortalZ · 26th December 2009, 11:02

If you want to select an engine by installed base, I nominate the engine in the Nano or the one in the Bajaj Autos.

theragingbull · 26th December 2009, 11:09

The Fiat 1.3 wasn't launched in 2009 but was a significant engine in this year with so many new cars sharing it!

shuvc · 26th December 2009, 11:17

The ANHC mill is also a 2009 release, isn't it?

Also how are the 2.4 Mivec in the Outlander; the 2.4 in the new GV; the Accord's V6?

Maybe the poll should go by segment/capacity/type?

dhrishikesh · 26th December 2009, 11:30

My vote will go for:
FIAT 1.3 MJD -
Good pick up& acceleration, better mileage in city & highway also & less noise.

MileCruncher · 26th December 2009, 12:04

Since India runs on FIAT 1.3 MJD, I would like my vote to it

+1.

Fiat 1.3 MJD undoubtedly is the one!

hiren959 · 26th December 2009, 14:30

Being a petrolhead, undoubtedly the Skoda 1.8 TSI, a gem of an engine!!

chevelle · 26th December 2009, 14:32

1.3 mjd has been in use since 2007. So i don't think it qualifies here.

i would have voted for maruti's 1.2 engine. but its not available in poll. till then i would prefer 1.4 crdi of hyundai. Awesome engine in city and highway.
