A range of high-performance engines suitable for everyday use
A varied and modern range of four engines is
available on the new Partner. It consists of a 1.6 litre
90 bhp petrol engine and three HDi diesel engines
(1.6 litre HDi 75 and 90 bhp and 1.6 litre HDi FAP
90 bhp), providing the ideal option for all types of
use. These engines are characterised by their high
performance and low emissions. This results in
particular in reduced fuel consumption, but also
the availability of an additive enhanced diesel
particulate fi lter system (FAP) on the 1.6 litre HDi
FAP 90 bhp engine helps improve environmental
protection even further.
The four cylinder 1.6 litre 16v 90 bhp petrol engine
is equipped with indirect fuel injection and has
a light alloy cylinder head with sixteen valves.
It develops a maximum torque of 132 Nm at
2500 rpm and a maximum power of 66 kW
(≈ 90 bhp) at 5500 rpm. This engine is characterised
by its high torque availability at low engine speeds,
similar to those of a diesel engine. Indeed, 92% of
the torque, or 122 Nm, is available from 1500 rpm.
This characteristic is very useful when driving a
loaded vehicle that requires a high torque output,
particularly when pulling away.
The entry level offer in the diesel range is the
1.6 litre HDi 75 bhp engine. This four cylinder
sixteen valve unit is made of aluminium. It benefi ts
from a second generation common rail direct
injection system, with a 1600 bar high-pressure
electronic pump. This engine owes its effi ciency to
its high torque output, which is available at virtually
all engine speeds. Indeed, 90% of the maximum
torque (185 Nm at 2000 rpm) is available from
1250 rpm. It also remains above 150 Nm right
up to 3500 rpm, improving overall driveability,
while reducing fuel consumption and emissions
to 5.8 litres/100 km and 153 g/km of CO2 in the
combined cycle respectively.
The 1.6 litre HDi 90 bhp engine is at the heart of
the diesel range. Based on the 75 bhp version,
it strengthens further the benefi ts of the latter

engine, namely its high torque output at low engine
speeds, good in-gear acceleration, consistent
performance when loaded and reduced running
costs.
With a maximum torque of 215 Nm at 1750 rpm it
offers an even broader operating range, since at
4000 rpm the available torque is still 158 Nm. Fuel
consumption in the combined cycle is the same
as the 75 bhp version, namely 5.8 litres/100 km,
with CO2 emissions of 153 g/km.
These two diesel engines have been specifi cally
adapted for professional use and, therefore,
benefi t from reinforced cylinder liners, camshaft
and piston compression rings.
Lastly, a 1.6 litre HDi FAP 90 bhp engine will
be available from the autumn of 2008 in certain
markets. Also made of aluminium and benefi ting
from a second generation high-pressure direct
injection system, it will differ from the 1.6 HDi
90 bhp version through the presence of a variable
geometry turbo. The presence of the additive
enhanced diesel particulate fi lter system (FAP)
will provide an added environmental bonus for
commercial vehicle users.
