We usually see Volkswagen entry-level models equipped with 15L naturally aspirated engine and 12T turbocharged engine, I believe many friends will be curious, which of these two engines is stronger or weaker?
I have test-driven Volkswagens that happen to be equipped with these two engines, and I will share my personal views in this issue, hoping to help you in front of the screen.
First of all, from the book data:
Volkswagen 1The 5-liter naturally aspirated engine has a maximum horsepower of 110 hp and a peak torque of 141 Nm;
Volkswagen 1The 2-liter turbocharged engine produces 116 hp and 200 Nm of torque.
It is clear that Volkswagen 1The 2T turbocharged engine is superior in terms of maximum horsepower and peak torque.
Some people may say that engine displacement is crucial, and the larger the displacement, the better the power reserve.
Often, a larger engine displacement does have a better power reserve. But it also depends on who you compare with, if you say take 12t turbocharged engine and 2Compared to the 0L naturally aspirated engine, there will indeed be a power reserve gap, but compared to the 1Compared to the 5L naturally aspirated engine, this difference is actually not significant.
Moreover, from the point of view of actual driving, Volkswagen 1The peak torque speed of the 5L naturally aspirated engine is 4100 rpm, and it is difficult to step on such a high speed in daily commuting, especially in congested sections of commuting, the speed is mostly 1000-3000 rpm, and it is difficult to exert its maximum energy efficiency.
On the other hand, Volkswagen 1The 2T turbocharged engine has a peak torque speed of 1800 rpm to 3700 rpm, which happens to be the highest speed range for daily commuting, which can maximize its advantages.
Of course, when entering the highway cruising state, if the speed is maintained at 80km h-100km h, the speed is mostly kept at 1200 rpm - 1600 rpm, and the turbine has not yet intervened (1800 rpm intervened), which is equivalent to a 1The 2-liter naturally aspirated engine is in operation, and there will indeed be a lack of power reserve. If it reaches 120 km h, the speed exceeds 1800 rpm, and the peak torque can be exploded.
Just from the point of view of the engine, I think the Volkswagen 1The 2t turbocharged engine is fully crushed by the Volkswagen 15L naturally aspirated engine.
But there is another crucial factor that directly affects consumer choice, which ultimately leads to a number of Volkswagen entry-level models equipped with 15L naturally aspirated engine, it's the gearbox.
Normally, it is equipped with 1Volkswagen models with 5L naturally aspirated engines are mostly equipped with 6AT gearboxes, while equipped with 1The 2-liter turbocharged Volkswagen model is mostly mated to a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission.
I believe that many people are "smelling dry discoloration", and the 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission of the Volkswagen Group was indeed notorious in the past. Because the road conditions of this gearbox design are more considering the smooth European road conditions, rather than the domestic congested road conditions, so when it was introduced into China in the early stage, it can be said that there were frequent failures and uneven reputation.
Later, with the participation, research and development and improvement of the Chinese side, the stability of the current 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission has been significantly improved. However, compared with the 6AT gearbox, which is "as stable as an old dog", it is still slightly inferior in terms of stability.
To sum up, Volkswagen 1The 2t turbocharged engine is better than 1 in terms of performanceThe 5L naturally aspirated engine is stronger, that's a no-brainer. However, for many Buddhist users, they may not care about this insignificant difference in power, but will attach great importance to the gearbox, so they will choose a more reliable 15L+6AT combination.
If it were you, how would you choose? Feel free to discuss in the comment section!
