The Volkswagen Magotan 1.4T can also break 100km/h in 8.6 seconds. Why do most people pay 10,000 more to choose the 2.0T version?

Magotan's 1.4T and 2.0T are both popular platform engines. Since they are platform products, their own positioning is inherently different. According to Volkswagen's positioning, the EA211 1.4T is mainly targeted at the compact car market, while the EA888 2.0T is targeted at the mid-size car market. In China, equipping Magotan with EA211 1.4T is likely to lower its entry price. Furthermore, although the power of 1.4T is average, it can be said to be acceptable for daily use in B-class cars.

The official acceleration of Magotan 1.4T to 100 kilometers is 8.6 seconds, and the official acceleration of 2.0T low-power version is 7.5 seconds. In fact, both perform well in the same level, but when buying a car, you don't just need to consider the acceleration from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers, because the total power cost of 1.4T and 2.0T is very different.

EA211 1.4T is a replacement version of Volkswagen’s previous generation EA111 1.4T, which began mass production after 2010. Compared with the previous generation EA111, there are still many changes, and it also enriches the lower displacement layout of the series, such as 1.6L, 1.2T, 1.4L and the upcoming 1.5T EVO. EA888 is now in its third generation. In addition to the low-power 2.0T, it also includes the old 1.8T and 2.0T high-power versions (including some performance versions from Audi), and later the high- and low-power 2.0T in the household car field. It will completely replace the old model.

The 1.4T EA211 is mainly optimized for fuel economy, so its power does not look very impressive. What is more advanced is the adoption of the current mainstream dual VVT design on the intake and exhaust sides, which not only takes into account power but also ensures fuel consumption. At least at this stage, engines with dual VVT are considered relatively conscientious engines. The all-aluminum alloy cylinder block and cylinder head reduce their own weight and integrate the exhaust manifold in the design to accelerate warm-up and improve low-speed response; the inlet design is optimized to increase high-speed tumble flow and reduce pumping loss, thereby improving thermal efficiency to a certain extent; EA211 mainly Due to the upgrade and optimization of EA111, the combustion cycle mode has not changed and is still the Otto cycle.

My personal opinion: If you are not really limited in funds, you can only choose based on the power and technology of the engine. If the price difference is 10,000 yuan, I would recommend choosing the 2.0T of EA888. It can be said that it has a large basic power and more advanced technology. advanced. But having said that, in fact, if you are confused between 1.4T and 2.0T, you may not have driven a vehicle. If you have test driven, anyone with normal senses will notice that there is a significant difference in the power of 1.4T and 2.0T.
