The Renault TCe 120 engine coupled with Renault EDC dual clutch transmission is available on New Renault Clio GT-Line. The Renault TCe 120 EDC combines driving enjoyment in all situations and quick, seamless gear changes with no interruption of torque delivery. The Renault TCe 120 EDC enables New Clio to achieve fuel consumption that marks a 33% improvement over the previous 1.6-litre automatic, thanks to 20% less displacement and the technology inside.
Punchy performance and cutting edge technologies The Renault TCe 120 EDC is the first Renault turbocharged petrol engine to feature direct fuel injection. It will go on to replace the 1.6 16V with automatic transmission. This aluminium 1,198cc block delivers even higher performance, with peak power of 120hp (up 10hp) and maximum torque of 190Nm (up 40Nm) which is comparable to that of a two-litre engine.
With 90% of peak torque available from 1,500rpm and 100% available between 2,000 and 4,000rpm, this engine is particularly flexible and responsive, with pull away performance from low revs worthy of a diesel.
Technology-wise, the TCe 120 EDC offers:
-Turbocharged petrol engine with direct fuel injection
-Aluminium engine block
-An extremely versatile 4-cylinder, 120 hp, 1.2 litre turbo petrol engine with -direct injection which develops 190 Nm of torque at low revs, from 2000 rpm. In -other words: the performance of a 1.6 litre.
-Double cam-phasing Variable Valve Timing (intake and exhaust).
-Reduced friction for improved efficiency.
Particularly careful attention was paid to the Renault TCe 120 EDCengine’s acoustics and travelling comfort is enhanced by the smooth, cushioned sound it makes.
CO2 emissions down by 33%
The Renault TCe 120 EDC is one of the market’s best-performing 1.2 litre powertrains, yet it also stands out through its extremely low NEDC cycle fuel consumption which has fallen by 1/3 compared with the 1.6 16V with automatic transmission. This has brought down running costs considerably, while its lower CO2 emissions enable it to qualify for the ‘eco’ subsidies or tax incentives on offer in certain countries. Running costs
