How Many Cylinders Does the Volkswagen Tayron Have?

Volkswagen Tayron is a 4-cylinder vehicle. The Volkswagen Tayron is a car under FAW-Volkswagen. In terms of dimensions, the Volkswagen Tayron measures 4590mm in length, 1860mm in width, and 1660mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2731mm. In terms of configuration, the Volkswagen Tayron is equipped with the 4MOTION intelligent four-wheel drive system, which allows for seamless switching between 4 road modes, 2 off-road modes, and 1 snow mode. For the interior, the Volkswagen Tayron features the MIB human-machine interaction system, supporting gesture control functions that enable operations such as switching interfaces or songs through sliding gestures.

As an owner who has driven the Tayron for over two years, I'm very clear about its engine configurations. The current Tayron lineup basically all uses four-cylinder engines, with three powertrain versions: 1.5T and 2.0T high/low power - all being four-cylinder. Especially the best-selling 330TSI version, that 2.0T engine is truly sufficient and smooth, never dragging when overtaking in the city. The older model had a 1.4T version, but it was noticeably less powerful than the 2.0T. Now the plug-in hybrid GTE version also uses a four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor, making starts even quieter. When purchasing, the salesperson specifically mentioned that the current engines have been optimized, with much better vibration control than some three-cylinder cars.

Nowadays, mainstream SUVs generally start with four-cylinder engines, and the Tayron is no exception. Taking the 2023 Tayron as an example, whether it's the 1.5T 300TSI, the 2.0T low-power 330TSI, or the high-power 380TSI, all come with four-cylinder engines. Even the plug-in hybrid GTE version pairs a four-cylinder engine with an electric motor. Only the outdated 2020 model had a very limited number of 1.4T three-cylinder versions, which have long been discontinued. The advantages of four-cylinder engines are too obvious, especially when cruising at 2500 rpm on the highway, where their noise control far surpasses that of three-cylinder engines. Volkswagen's EA211 and EA888 engine technologies are highly mature.

From the perspective of engine layout, the current Tayron main models are all equipped with four-cylinder configurations. There are three core types: the 1.5T EA211 Evo engine (four-cylinder), the 2.0T low-power EA888 (four-cylinder), and the 2.0T high-power EA888 (four-cylinder). The best-selling 330TSI version uses the EA888 Gen3.B engine, with 186 horsepower, which is sufficient and fuel-efficient. The plug-in hybrid version's 1.4T engine is also a four-cylinder, but with the motor's intervention, engine vibration is barely noticeable. There was an early version with a three-cylinder 1.4T engine, which has long been phased out.
