Design, development and variant notes
The production Volkswagen XL1 paired its 800 cc two-cylinder common-rail turbodiesel, rated at 35 kW, with a 20 kW electric motor. Wikipedia reports 51 kW combined output for the hybrid system; that combined figure is not the engine's standalone rating.
The XL1 article describes a seven-speed DSG and a plug-in hybrid drivetrain. Those vehicle-level details apply to the XL1 installation.
