The engines of the Bora Legend and Bora are the same. These two models are equipped with the same engines, although there are slight differences in tuning. Additionally, they are identical in terms of transmission, chassis steering, wheel braking, and main passive safety equipment. Additional Information: Below are the differences between the Bora Legend and Bora: 1. Different platforms: The Bora Legend is built on the PQ34 platform, while the Bora is built on the MQB platform. 2. Different body dimensions: The Bora has larger body dimensions compared to the Bora Legend. The Bora measures 4665 mm in length, 1817 mm in width, and 1464 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2689 mm. In terms of space experience and comfort, the Bora is also slightly better than the Bora Legend.
I've driven both the Bora Legend and the Bora, and their engines are actually quite similar, especially in the base models where they both use the EA211 engine series. My Bora Legend was a 2016 model with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, producing 110 horsepower and consuming around 6-7L/100km. The newer Bora might have some upgrades, like adding turbocharging or more efficient tuning, but the core structure hasn't changed much. It feels smooth and reliable for daily use, and it's fine for occasional highway driving. In terms of maintenance, parts like spark plugs and engine oil are interchangeable, saving money and hassle. Before buying, I'd recommend checking the specific year and configuration to avoid older versions. Overall, the engines are similar, and driving habits have a bigger impact.
