10 Cars That Share The Same Engine | Shared-Affair!

When it comes to the Indian market, where mileage is considered to be one of the most important factors that determine car sales, there are a few engines that have really stood the test of time and consumer satisfaction. This is the reason why many a time, engines are shared not only across vehicles offered by a particular OEM but even across OEMs. So here are 10 cars that share the same engine.

1. Skoda Kushaq & Volkswagen Taigun (1.0L TSI/1.5L EVO TSI)
   

   

   Owned by the Volkswagen group both Volkswagen and Skoda are two of the most sought after German carmakers in India. While both the Kushaq and Taigun are similarly priced, both offer the same 1 and 1.5-litre turbo petrol engines.

   

   Both siblings offer the same state of tune as well, with the 1 litre 3 cylinder turbo producing (115PS/178NM) and the 1.5 litres 4 cylinder turbo doing (150PS/250NM). Transmission wise too, both siblings are identical offering a 6-speed manual as standard with a 6-speed torque converter for the 1-litre mill and a 7 speed DSG for the larger 1.5-litre engine.

2. Skoda Slavia & Volkswagen Virtus (1.0L TSI/1.5L EVO TSI)
   

   

   Another Skoda & Volkswagen duo, the latest offerings from both OEMs, the Skoda Slavia and the upcoming Virtus sedans share the same powertrain and even transmission options. Much like the Kushaq-Taigun pair, both sedans will compete in the same price range, with different separating features onboard.

   

   Power-wise however, both offer a 1-litre turbo-petrol (115PS/178Nm) and a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol (150PS/250Nm) engine, with a 6-speed manual as standard, and a 6-speed torque converter with the 1-litre turbo-petrol and a 7-speed DSG (1.5-litre turbo-petrol). In fact, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that the Kushaq-Taigun-Slavia-Virtus all share the same engine!

3. Hyundai Grand i10 Nios & Hyundai Venue (1.0L TGDI Petrol Engine)
   

   

   Moving on to the Korean auto giant Hyundai, its hatchback Grand i10 Nios and c-segment sedan Verna both share the same engine. Hyundai Verna and Hyundai Grand i10 Nios get the same 1.0-litre 3 cylinder GDI turbo petrol engine.

   

   But, the engines in both cars are in a different state of tune. The one in Verna generates 120ps of max power and 172Nm of maximum torque. And power output from the one in Grand i10 Nios generates a little lower 100ps and a similar 172Nm of peak torque.

4. Nissan Magnite & Renault Kiger (1.0L Turbo Petrol Engine)
   

   

   Renault and Nissan though different companies have a lot in common when it comes to their cars. After all in the international market, both are part of the same automotive group.

   

   A thing to note is that both Nissan Magnite and Renault Kiger are recent launches from their respective brands. Also, both come with a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine. Engines in both cars produce 100ps of max power and 160Nm of peak torque.

5. Hyundai Creta & Kia Sonet (1.5L U2 CRDi Diesel Engine)
   

   

   To stand out from the crowd car makers give a little extra oomph to their otherwise good cars. The diesel engine that comes with Kia Sonet is a prominent example. Why you may ask? Well, Sonet shares the engine with Hyundai Creta in exactly the same state of tune.

   

   Meaning, the mill is powerful and gives the vehicle a really good power to weight ratio. But the catch is that this engine only comes in the top GTX Plus variant that costs nearly ₹15 Lakhs. Talking about the motor it is a 1.5-litre turbo diesel that generates 115ps of max power and 250Nm of peak torque. Another bonus for some is that this engine comes mated to only an automatic transmission (Torque Converter).

6. Tata Altroz & Tata Tiago (1.2L Revotron Petrol Engine)
   

   

   The Indian carmaker ‘Tata’ is not known for refined petrol mills, hence it is evident that many cars will share the same unit onboard. And the two hatchbacks from the company, Tata Altroz and Tata Tiago get the same 1.2-litre naturally aspirated unit onboard.

   

   Speaking of the powertrain this is a 3 cylinder petrol engine that generates 86ps of peak power and 113Nm of maximum torque. Also, both the engines sit in the same state of tune.

7. Tata Harrier & Jeep Compass (2.0L Diesel Engine)
   

   

   Another unusual car duo to share the same engines are the Tata Harrier and Jeep Compass. Both the cars get a similar 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine under their bonnets. But it is a little different story here as both the engines have similar construction but Tata has modified the engine a little to suit the Harrier needs. Diving a little into detail, both the engines generate about 170ps of max power and 350 Nm of torque.

8. Honda City & Honda Amaze (1.5L i-DTEC Diesel Engine)
   

   

   After the implementation of the BS6 emission norms, people opting for a car with a diesel engine are a rare affair. So, to cut the costs down carmakers like Honda share their only diesel engine in their cars in India. A pair of such vehicles to share the same 1.5-litre turbo diesel engine is Honda City and Honda Amaze.

   

   Additionally, in the latest iteration Amaze though gets the same unit but is lower on both power as well as torque in the automatic variant. Talking about its other cousin the one in City and Amaze MT both generates 100ps of max power and 200Nm of peak torque.

9. Maruti Suzuki Celerio & Maruti WagonR (1.0L NA Petrol Engine)
   

   

   Another Duo to share the same petrol unit is the Maruti Suzuki Celerio and Maruti Suzuki WagonR. Both the cars are entry-level cars for their brands but target a different audience. Where WagonR gets a tall boy stance, Celerio looks more sophisticated and simple.

   

   Nevertheless, both the cars come with a 1.0-litre naturally-aspirated mill. Though WagonR gets an option to go for a 1.2 which Celerio misses out on. Moving on, this engine generates 67hp of max power and 90Nm of peak torque. And both the cars generate the same power and torque figures but differ slightly in how they deliver it.

10. Toyota Innova & Toyota Fortuner (2.7L NA Diesel Engine)
    

    

    Well, sharing the same platform Toyota Innova and Toyota Fortuner both also share the same petrol mill. Powering both the cars is a 2.7-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that drives the rear wheels. This unit generates a decent 165ps of max power and 250Nm of peak torque.
