The Magotan 330tsi model is equipped with a low-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. Performance: The low-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine in the Magotan 330tsi delivers 186 horsepower and a maximum torque of 320 Nm. This engine reaches its peak power between 4,100 and 6,000 rpm, and its maximum torque between 1,500 and 4,000 rpm. It features hybrid injection technology and uses an aluminum cylinder head with an iron cylinder block. The new Volkswagen Magotan comes with three engine options: a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, a low-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and a high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.4-liter turbocharged engine is found in the 280tsi model, the low-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine in the 330tsi model, and the high-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine in the 380tsi model. All three engines are paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The 1.4-liter turbocharged engine produces a maximum power of 110 kW and a peak torque of 250 Nm, with maximum power achieved between 5,000 and 6,000 rpm and maximum torque between 1,750 and 3,000 rpm. The low-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine delivers 137 kW of maximum power and 320 Nm of peak torque, with maximum power output between 4,100 and 6,000 rpm and maximum torque between 1,500 and 4,000 rpm. The high-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine generates 162 kW of maximum power and 350 Nm of peak torque, with maximum power achieved between 4,500 and 6,200 rpm and maximum torque between 1,500 and 4,400 rpm.
I've driven quite a few Volkswagen models, including the Magotan 330TSI, which definitely comes with a 2.0T engine. Looking back, the 330TSI badge might have been a bit confusing in earlier versions—there was indeed a period when it used a 1.8T engine. However, in recent years, after model updates, it has been upgraded to the lower-output version of the 2.0T engine. For example, starting with the 2020 model year, all 330TSI variants switched to the 2.0T, delivering around 186 horsepower, paired with a smooth-shifting dual-clutch transmission. Why this change? Mainly due to technological advancements making the 2.0T more fuel-efficient and powerful, sharing platforms with Audi, resulting in a more stable driving experience overall. Personally, I found the acceleration quick and fuel consumption well-managed. If you come across older models, they might still have the 1.8T, but with the new Magotan, there's no need to worry. Before buying, it's best to check official website or dealership data.
