2 Answers
Borgward 1.4 engine belongs to Volkswagen engine. Automobile engine: It is the device that provides power for automobiles, serving as the heart of a car, determining its power performance, fuel economy, stability, and environmental friendliness. According to different power sources, automobile engines can be divided into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrid systems, etc. Gasoline and diesel engines: Common gasoline and diesel engines are both reciprocating piston internal combustion engines, which convert the chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy of piston movement and output power externally. Gasoline engines have high rotational speed, small mass, low noise, easy starting, and low manufacturing cost; diesel engines have large compression ratio, high thermal efficiency, and better economic performance and emission performance than gasoline engines.
I'm a veteran car enthusiast who has driven many models and studied engine origins. After the revival of the Borgward brand in China, its 1.4 engine is not from Volkswagen. Volkswagen has the renowned EA211 series turbocharged engines, but Borgward uses its self-developed engine with a different structure. Technically, Borgward may have drawn inspiration from European styling, paired with its own transmission for smooth power delivery. In daily use, it offers reasonable fuel consumption on highways but slightly higher in city traffic jams. Avoid mixing Volkswagen parts during maintenance to prevent system damage. Choosing a Borgward can save some money—though the engine isn't as famous, its reliability is decent. With proper maintenance, it can last seven or eight years. Newcomers should refer to car forums to avoid pitfalls.
