Vw Up- Seat Mii - New VAG Group City Car - KenC

Does anyone know if this new city car will have a safe engine

eg that will not self destruct in the event of a cam belt failure or have a cam chain

I understand it's a smaller version of the 1.2 3 cylinder engine and this has a chain.

By safe, I take it you mean non interference. Not many of those around these days. You need either low compression or huge valve reliefs cut into the piston crowns. The former hurts efficiency, the latter emissions.
