Direct injection is more fuel-efficient than port injection.
Tips
usage
The Chinese name is descriptive: 缸内 ('inside the cylinder') + 直喷 ('direct spray'). Contrast with 歧管喷射 or 进气道喷射 (port injection) where fuel is sprayed into the intake manifold. Audi's FSI, VW's TSI, and Toyota's D-4 all fall under 缸内直喷.
