Tacqua is a 4-cylinder vehicle, equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine. It has a maximum power of 85 kW, with the maximum power achieved at 5,000 rpm. The maximum torque is 200 Nm, available between 2,000 to 3,500 rpm. The Tacqua is a compact 5-door, 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of 4,194 mm in length, 1,760 mm in width, and 1,601 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,651 mm. It has a fuel tank capacity of 40 liters and features front-wheel drive. The front suspension uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a torsion beam non-independent suspension.

The Volkswagen Tacqua SUV, which some of my friends drive, is typically equipped with either a 1.5L naturally aspirated or a 1.2T turbocharged engine, both featuring a four-cylinder configuration. The four-cylinder design strikes a good balance between fuel consumption and power. For instance, during daily city driving, it achieves around 7L per 100km, which is quite economical. On the highway, it also provides sufficient acceleration without feeling sluggish. Family users choose the Tacqua for its practical performance—it drives smoothly with minimal vibration, making it easy for beginners to handle. When buying an SUV, don’t overlook the number of cylinders; four cylinders are a safe choice with strong reliability, avoiding potential vibration issues that some three-cylinder engines might have.

Speaking of the Tacqua's engine, it is basically all four-cylinder models, whether it's the 1.5L or 1.2T version. Fewer cylinders, such as in three-cylinder cars, may save fuel but can exhibit more noticeable vibrations at idle. The four-cylinder configuration maintains power output while reducing vibration issues, making the drive more comfortable. The power response is also quick; for example, the 1.2T version with around 140 horsepower can handle highway overtaking with ease. I think this setup is quite balanced—fuel-efficient, durable, and not complicated to maintain. Before buying, it's advisable to take a test drive to personally experience the engine's smoothness.

I've been commuting with the Tacqua for half a year. Its four-cylinder engine is very practical, providing smooth start-stop performance for daily commuting and low fuel consumption, resulting in small monthly refueling expenses. The number of cylinders affects the driving experience: four cylinders make the car more stable, and it doesn't bump around when taking kids out. Compared to a three-cylinder engine, it has fewer vibration issues; for budget-conscious buyers, four cylinders are a mainstream choice, and the Tacqua offers great value for money.
