Is the new Bora equipped with the same 1.5 naturally aspirated engine?

The new Bora is not equipped with the same 1.5 naturally aspirated engine. Different powertrains: The difference lies in one being a powertrain with a 1.5 naturally aspirated engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, while the other features a 1.4T turbocharged engine paired with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. Performance differences: With different powertrains, the performance varies significantly. The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine delivers a maximum output of 113 horsepower and 145Nm of torque, whereas the 1.4T version offers 150 horsepower and 250Nm of torque. Based on the power output data, the acceleration performance of the two versions shows distinctly different characteristics.

I've been driving for over a decade and have always kept an eye on the Bora series. The new Bora still uses that 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, which is basically the same as the previous model. The engine model is similar, with linear and smooth power delivery, steady starts in the city, and no weakness on the highway. However, the new version might have optimized some minor details, like more precise computer-controlled fuel injection, resulting in slightly lower fuel consumption than the old model—a full tank can take you further. It’s quite handy for daily commutes, especially with quick acceleration in traffic and minimal vibration, so the driving experience hasn’t changed much. In terms of maintenance, the parts have strong compatibility, and things like oil changes and spark plug replacements at repair shops are affordable. Overall, this engine is suitable for daily use. If you prioritize low noise and high reliability, it doesn’t disappoint, though its acceleration isn’t as fierce as turbocharged cars.

As a car enthusiast, I've studied the powertrain of the new Bora. The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine appears unchanged with the same core design. Specifications show maximum horsepower and torque are similar to the previous generation, but some new materials or tuning might have been added, slightly improving response time. The advantage of this engine is its simple and durable structure, not picky about fuel quality, and less prone to minor issues over time. The downside is that acceleration isn't as aggressive, requiring a second or two to get going from traffic lights. Personally, I think it's slightly improved in fuel efficiency, saving a few cents in actual tests. Additionally, maintenance is easier with readily available parts, and modifications like exhaust upgrades are convenient.

Our family bought the new Bora, equipped with this 1.5L engine, which is basically the same as our neighbor's older car. It provides adequate power for driving, whether it's taking people to the supermarket or going on short trips. The fuel consumption isn't too high, around 7-8 liters in the city, making it economical and practical. During maintenance, getting the oil and filter changed at the shop is affordable. The engine runs quietly and reliably, rarely causing any trouble, making it perfect for everyday family use.
