On the engine
Volkswagen has been working hard
Volkswagen is a medium-sized SUV with a length of more than 5 meters1 and a wheelbase of nearly 3 meters. The space is outstanding, and the comfort when fully loaded with 6 people is not even as good as some medium and large MPVs. It also has volkswagen's latest design language, interior style, luxurious atmosphere, and rich technology configuration.
In the face of such a large number of models, everyone will expect a powerful engine. But looking at the same level, six-cylinder models are extremely rare, and four-cylinder has become a more balanced choice. Because with the help of the turbine, the power has made a qualitative leap and can fully meet the daily household use.
In fact, in the past few decades, Volkswagen has been insisting on continuous investment in the engine field, whether it is self-priming, turbine, or mechanical + turbo double supercharging, or even direct injection in the cylinder, layered combustion, multi-point electric injection, Volkswagen has worked hard to put them on civilian vehicles in their corresponding era.
These leading technologies, along with its global models, have also spread to every corner of the world.
In China in the 90s, the automobile industry had not yet risen here. The biggest demand for the engine is that it is solid and not bad.
In this context, the Volkswagen Jetta came to China, and the 2-valve EA827 engine it was equipped with was not only leathery, but also extremely good at low torque. It is widely recognized by car owners and has established a good reputation for jetta.
To this day, this engine is still celebrated by old car owners, because in those days, very few cars could do a million kilometers without major repairs, but it did.
At the end of the 20th century, the progress of manufacturing industry solved the quality problem, and at this time, everyone's pursuit was no longer just leather and durable, and everyone had a higher pursuit of power.
In 2002, the first domestic civilian car equipped with a turbocharged engine, the Bora 1.8T, was launched, defining the driver's car of that era. Code-named EA113, the 5-valve 150 hp turbocharged engine tells everyone what driving pleasure is.
The engine gave hope to the ultimate players of that era, and some even achieved more than 300 horsepower for this high-potential engine.
However, with the stricter emission regulations, the 1.4T and 2.0T, which have a smaller displacement and more fuel-efficient displacement, have become the best solution for family cars and are widely used in various models of the Volkswagen family.
Among them, the mechanical + turbo twin supercharged engine code-named EA111 is the most aggressive attempt by Volkswagen in the small displacement turbocharged engine. The 1.4T double supercharging combined with layered combustion bursts out 170 hp and 240 Nm of amazing power. This shocked the world in the era of its birth.
Volkswagen EA111 engine
In 2009, the EA211 1.4T engine that entered the country was adjusted to turbocharging after considering various factors such as cost and maintenance. This 1.4T engine, in the more than 10 years since its introduction, has gained a good reputation from users and is one of the most widely equipped engines for Volkswagen.
Can only compromise with small displacement?
This is a 2.5T chassis, and under its hood, there is a 2.5T VR6 six-cylinder engine:
This is the solution given by the Volkswagen Group after considering the dynamics, smoothness, economy and spatial layout.
In fact, VR6 has long been a well-known engine, the time is once again turned back to the 90s, Passat B3, is the first model equipped with VR6 engine. It addresses the limitations of the straight six engine length and V6 engine width with a unique cylinder arrangement angle of 15°. In this way, the 6-cylinder engine can be perfectly tucked in without taking up too much space.
This attempt, in the end, brought volkswagen a completely new series of engine families. On the basis of VR6, VR5, VR8, and the famous W12 were derived, opening the era of Volkswagen and Audi in the field of luxury cars with 12 cylinders.
VR6 is therefore called by fans - Volkswagen God Machine!
Thirty years have passed, and now, what kind of evolution has VR6 had?
This 2.5T VR6 engine imported from Germany is code-named EA390. The new details ensure that the intake air is increased while improving thermal efficiency and economy. At the same time, the requirements of the emission regulations are also met. In short, it is known as Volkswagen's most advanced VR6.
With 299 hp and 500 Nm of torque output, combined with Lisso's DQ501 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, you won't drag mud and water when you need passion! The maximum torque of 2750 rpm bursts, so that the huge body of the landscape can reach more than 7 seconds to break the hundred.
The all-wheel drive system helps the 265 tires to faithfully grasp the ground, and with the cooperation of dcc dynamic chassis, it can stimulate the driver's desire to control.
When passion is not needed, it shows a calm side. Unlike the four-cylinder, the six-cylinder engine will show better ride. In one word, it is "run".
In the era of the four-cylinder boom, the lanjing has become one of the few six-cylinder machines in its class. In the future, this six-cylinder will only become more and more rare.
At present, VR6, which is still choosing to evolve, is the last comfort for fans of large-displacement engines.
Write at the end
In the current era, when the wave of electrification is fully coming, large-displacement, multi-cylinder internal combustion engines have become luxury goods for luxury brands.
Brands such as Volkswagen, on the one hand, are trying to embrace new energy and catch up with the general trend. On the other hand, using such a VR6 shows us the internal combustion engine and trying to move forward.
