The VTi (Variable Valve Lift and Timing injection) Engine represents a variable valve timing (VVT) technology designed for the Prince engine, a collaborative development between PSA (covering Peugeot, Citroën, and DS Automobiles) and Mini under the BMW Group umbrella.
This engine family primarily consists of two variants: a 1.4-liter and a 1.6-liter displacement model. According to PSA, these engines can achieve more than a 10% reduction in fuel consumption on a Peugeot 307 when compared to the older 1.6-liter unit.
