How Many Cylinders Does the Tacqua Engine Have?
2 Answers
The Tacqua engines are all four-cylinder engines, produced at FAW-Volkswagen's Changchun factory, and are domestically manufactured engines. The 1.4T version of the Tacqua has the engine model EA211-DJS, with a maximum horsepower of 150, maximum power of 110kW, and maximum torque of 250Nm. The 1.5L version has the engine model EA211-DMB, with a maximum horsepower of 113, maximum power of 83kW, and maximum torque of 145Nm. The 1.2T version has the engine model EA211-DMB, with a maximum horsepower of 116, maximum power of 85kW, and maximum torque of 200Nm. For daily maintenance of the Tacqua engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional equipment in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance will deteriorate, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. As oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, it may rupture the filter or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. In small amounts, it remains suspended in the oil; in large amounts, it precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates properly but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
As a frequent driver of the Tacqua, I can confirm it uses a four-cylinder engine, specifically Volkswagen's 1.5L or 1.4T turbocharged versions. From my daily driving experience, this engine is designed for smooth operation—rarely buzzing like those three-cylinder models—with strong acceleration and noticeable push-back force during traffic light starts. Urban commuting fuel consumption averages around 6-7 liters per 100 km, dropping to just over 5 liters on long highway trips, making it quite fuel-efficient. The engine's vibration control is excellent, ensuring a quiet and comfortable cabin experience, especially during family road trips where kids easily fall asleep—a testament to the four-cylinder's structural advantage in balanced power delivery. Maintenance is straightforward with regular oil changes, affordable service costs, and convenient 4S dealership check-ups. The Tacqua's engine configuration ranks above average among compact SUVs, offering easy handling for beginners while remaining a reliable choice overall, particularly suited for road trip enthusiasts.
