Should I choose the 1.4 or 1.5 for Lavida?
1 Answers
The difference in power between the 1.5L and 1.6L engines of the Lavida is minimal. The 1.5L engine is a newer design by Volkswagen, with slightly better technology compared to the 1.6L, but there is almost no difference in power. You can make your choice based on your actual needs. Below is a detailed comparison of the two: 1. Power: The 1.4T is lower than the 1.5T. 2. Fuel consumption: The difference between the two is not significant. However, it's important to note that the 1.5 requires 92-octane gasoline, while the 1.4T model requires 95-octane or higher. In the long run, the 1.5 naturally aspirated model has lower usage costs. 3. Maintenance: Maintenance costs are definitely higher for the 1.4T model compared to the 1.5. In terms of oil grade and quality, the 1.4T model, being turbocharged, requires higher-quality oil, typically full synthetic oil.
