Who is stronger with the Volkswagen 1.4T or Honda 1.5T engines? Insiders believe that after five years, one of them will resemble a cat and the other will resemble a cow! Let's find out!
In recent years, small-displacement turbocharged engines have become more and more popular in our country, so whether it is a domestic car or a joint venture car, it is accelerating the layout of this aspect. Like the Haval 1.5T, Geely 1.5T, Volkswagen 1.4T and Honda 1.5T, etc., are currently more mainstream small-displacement turbocharged engines. On the surface, the Volkswagen 1.4T and Honda 1.5T are very advanced, so which is the Volkswagen 1.4T and Honda 1.5T stronger? Insider: Five years later, one of them looks like a cat and the other like a cow!
First of all, look at Volkswagen's 1.4T engine, Volkswagen 1.4T engine is very common in our country, like car models such as Volkswagen Langyi, Volkswagen Bora, Volkswagen Lingdu, Volkswagen Sagittarius, Volkswagen Maiteng and Volkswagen Passat, etc., and SUV models have Volkswagen Tandia, Volkswagen Tanyue, Volkswagen Tuyue and Volkswagen Tiguan L, etc., they are equipped with Volkswagen 1.4T engines. So for this engine everyone is very familiar, it is Volkswagen's EA211 engine, its maximum power is 110Kw/ 5000rmp, the maximum horsepower is 150Ps, the peak torque is 250N.m (1750-3000rpm), and most of the matches are 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission (7DCT).
The technology of the Volkswagen 1.4T engine is relatively good, such as direct injection technology in the cylinder, exhaust gas turbocharging system, integrated design of supercharger and exhaust pipe, dual circulation cooling system, variable timing of the intake valve and high-pressure fuel system. For Volkswagen's 1.4T engine, to say that the best match should be volkswagen Sagittarius, Sagittarius owners of its reputation is relatively high, 100 km fuel consumption of about 5.7L, power output is relatively stable, acceleration is also OK, generally break 100 are used less than 10 seconds.
Although the overall performance is good, but unfortunately it matches the dry double clutch transmission, the advantage of the dry double clutch is low cost, high transmission efficiency, but its shortcomings are more obvious, that is, it is too easy to heat up, long-term semi-linkage will reduce its service life, and the engine is often in a high-pressure state, the internal parts are easy to age, and open a five or six years will be like a sick cat there is no strength.
Secondly, look at the Honda 1.5T engine, Honda 1.5T engine is also more common in our country, like the car model has Honda Civic, Honda Accord and Honda INSPIRE, etc., while the SUV model has Honda CR-V, Honda Haoying, Honda XR-V and so on. The Honda 1.5T has a high and low power, the low power version is the maximum horsepower of 177Ps, the high power version of the maximum horsepower is 194Ps, the maximum torque is 243N.m, and most of the matching CVT gearboxes. For the Honda 1.5T, the horsepower it squeezes out is really very strong, which is much stronger than the Volkswagen 1.4T.
Honda's 1.5T technology is very good, its ETC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control System) technology is currently relatively advanced, this technology can keep it running efficiently at all times, even if it is a few years or more powerful, like a cow. However, it has many advantages, but there are also disadvantages, such as its oil increase problem, stability problem, are very headaches, but after making improvements, there is still some improvement. And it matches the CVT gearbox, its advantages are fuel saving, low cost, etc., which is why the Chinese people like it more. But its disadvantages are also more obvious, because it relies on the friction of the steel belt and the steel wheel to transmit power, so it can not adapt to the large torque, and sometimes there will be abnormal noise, and the power is somewhat insufficient.
Summary: Overall, the power of the Volkswagen 1.4T is not as good as the Honda 1.5T, and the dry double clutch matched by the Volkswagen 1.4T also has no small problems, and although the Honda 1.5T matches the CVT is not too good, but after a few years, its power is still good, and this is why many insiders think that after five years, they are like a cat and a cow.
