Stoichiometric gasoline direct-injection technology: injects fuel at high pressure directly into the combustion chamber to improve cooling of the air/fuel charge within the cylinder, which allows for higher compression ratios and increased thermodynamic efficiency. This reduces pumping losses at lighter loads in comparison to a larger engine.
