How many cylinders does the Volkswagen Sagitar engine have?

Volkswagen Sagitar is equipped with a four-cylinder engine, developed by Volkswagen Group and manufactured by FAW-Volkswagen Engine (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. The 1.2T version of Volkswagen Sagitar uses the EA211-DLS engine model, with a maximum power of 85kW, maximum torque of 175N·m, and maximum horsepower of 116. The 1.4T version employs the EA211-DJS engine model, delivering a maximum power of 110kW, maximum torque of 250N·m, and maximum horsepower of 150. Here are some daily maintenance methods for Volkswagen Sagitar's engine: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to 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 deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid failures, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level; When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, bringing contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and 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 powder from component wear to form sludge. When the amount is small, it suspends in the oil; when large, it precipitates, clogging filters and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear; Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine's normal operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
The Volkswagen Sagitar, as far as I know, mostly comes with four-cylinder engines, such as the common 1.4T turbocharged model. As someone who frequently drives a Sagitar for commuting, I use this exact engine. It feels responsive when accelerating in urban areas, without the vibration issues of multi-cylinder engines, and maintains a daily fuel consumption of around 7-8L/100km, which is quite economical. Maintenance isn’t expensive either—regular oil and filter changes keep it running smoothly, and spark plug maintenance is straightforward. When chatting with friends about cars, they all praise the Sagitar for balancing performance and cost, making it ideal for family use. On long trips, the engine noise is low, ensuring a comfortable and reliable drive. When choosing a car, I compared engines with different cylinder counts and found that the four-cylinder scored higher in terms of environmental friendliness and practicality.
