Engine as the core of the car, its technical application has always been the focus of user attention, after iteration of the new engine can not only further meet the strict emission indicators, its power level, fuel economy and stability and reliability and other dimensions will also be fully upgraded, and this is also the core competitiveness of each brand model.
● Volkswagen EA211 1.5TSI evo
▲Models involved: Volkswagen Sagittarius, Golf, etc
Mid-term redesign of Volkswagen Sagittarius
As early as 2020, Volkswagen was equipped with the new generation EA211 1.5TSI evo engine for the first time on the European version of the Golf MK7.5.
As an iterative version of the active 1.4T engine, the new engine has been fully upgraded at the technical level, and the book data of the high-power version has also been increased to 160 hp/250 Nm, and there is also a low-power version of 131 hp/200 Nm to replace the active 1.2T.
At the technical level, the new EA211 1.5TSI evo is not only equipped with many mainstream new technologies such as variable valve timing, Miller cycle, 350bar direct injection, but also the VTG variable-section turbocharging system for the first time.
The biggest feature of VTG technology compared to the traditional exhaust gas turbocharging is that the exhaust turbine section of TA is actively adjustable, so the flow rate of the exhaust gas through the turbine blade fan can be adjusted, so that even if the engine is in a low-speed working condition, the flow rate can be increased by closing the small guide plate, thereby improving the response speed of the intake pressure and reducing the hysteresis problem.
As for the domestic market, at present, the north and south Volkswagen have introduced this new nose into localization, according to the product plan, the first model equipped with this engine may be a medium-term modification of Sagittarius, and in the future, many volkswagen hot models including Langyi, Lingdu, and even Tiguan L will also be equipped with this EA211 1.5TSI evo.
● Audi EA888 2.0TSI evo4
▲Models involved: Audi A4L, Audi A6L, Audi Q7, etc
Compared with the above EA211 1.5TSI evo engine, this Volkswagen EA888 2.0TSI evo4 (fourth generation) although developed later, but the domestic market is in service earlier, the first model equipped with this new nose in China is the mid-term modification of the Porsche Macan (launched in August 2021).
On this Porsche entry-level SUV, its maximum power reached 265 horsepower and a peak torque of 400 Nm, which is more than a star and a half stronger than the Volkswagen/Audi active 2.0T high power.
Like the previous generation, the new generation of Volkswagen 2.0T head still retains the classic cast iron cylinder block, although not conducive to lightweight, but its strength / heat resistance / cooling and other technical indicators have advantages over the aluminum alloy cylinder block, more favorable upward compatible with the high-end performance car for the engine "magic modification", with higher injection pressure common rail direct injection, variable valve control system and Miller cycle technology, in the power and economy have a better balance.
Official data shows that the iterative 2.0T achieved 319.5 hp/420 Nm on the Golf R, and for users, although the grocery cart is not a more common low- and medium-power version, this cast iron cylinder block is also more reliable and durable, and has better modification potential.
Audi S3
Golf GTI
In the European market, the EA888 2.0TTSI evo engine has also appeared in many new cars such as Golf GTI, Golf R, Tiguan R, Audi S3, etc. In the future, the new engine will replace the third-generation EA888, of which the low-power version will also appear in many new cars such as passat, Maiten, Tiguan L and so on of North and South Volkswagen.
● Nissan 1.3 DiG-T
▲Model involved: Nissan Qashqai
In 2021, due to the negative public opinion of the Nissan VC-TURBO 1.5T inline three-cylinder engine, the new generation of Nissan X-Trail met a full head in the domestic market, and the star model of the brand in the Chinese market directly ushered in sales Waterloo.
In 2022, another star model, the Qashqai, is about to usher in a replacement, and it will also be equipped with a new engine.
The new generation of Nissan Qashqai has been equipped with a 1.3T turbocharged engine developed by Nissan-Renault-Daimler in the European and American markets, that is, the 1.3T nose that is in service on domestic Mercedes-Benz A-Class, GLA and Renault Correga (discontinued).
For reference, the Mercedes-Benz tuned version (high power) has a maximum power of 163 hp and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, while the overseas version of the Nissan Qashqai has a book figure of 157 hp/270 Nm (high power).
Although it seems that the displacement is smaller than the 1.5T on the Jun, this 1.3T engine is an in-line four-cylinder engine of Zhenger Bajing, and also supports a 12V light mix system, which can recover kinetic energy, and its fuel economy will be further upgraded compared to the current Qashqai's 2.0L+CVT.
In addition, the new generation of Qashqai will also launch the e-power extended range hybrid version for the first time, Nissan's blue-brand hybrid has been in service on the domestic Xuanyi, the difference is that the new generation of Qashqai is based on the VC-TURBO 1.5T engine as a range extender, rather than the 1.2L engine on the Xuanyi.
● Mazda 3.0T L6
▲ Model involved: Mazda CX-60
As early as 2020, Mazda had revealed that the brand would develop a new chassis architecture powertrain in the future, and the biggest change compared to the active Mazda models was the longitudinal layout, not only with inline four-cylinder, inline four-cylinder + P2 hybrid, but also a in-line six-cylinder engine used in high-end SUV models.
By the end of 2021, we finally saw the first SUV model under the new architecture, the CX-60 test car.
According to the brand's previously exposed product planning, the Mazda CX-60 is a five-seat SUV model mainly for the European/Japanese market, and there is also a CX-80 positioned as a medium and large SUV, which is also a longitudinal platform and will adopt a seven-seat layout.
In the North American market, Mazda will offer two five-seater/seven-seat SUVs for the CX-70/CX-90, equivalent to the wide-body versions of the first two digits.
Although there are no three high-end brands like "two fields and one production", the price of Mazda's new longitudinal platform is bound to be further higher than the current model, especially the CX-60 and CX-90 high-end SUV models equipped with inline six-cylinder engines, the estimated price will reach 400,000+, directly to the Audi Q5, BMW X5 and other "guns". Whether Mazda's brand can hold these hardcore dry goods, we will wait and see.
