2 Answers
1.3t and 1.5t differ in power: the 1.3t engine has a maximum power of 102 kilowatts, a maximum torque of 235 Newton-meters, and a maximum torque speed range of 1400 to 3500 revolutions per minute; the 1.5t engine has a maximum power of 124 kilowatts, a maximum torque of 285 Newton-meters, and a maximum torque speed range of 1400 to 3000 revolutions per minute. An engine is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, applicable both as a power generation device and as the entire machine including the power unit, such as gasoline engines, aircraft engines. Types of engines include: internal combustion engines, external combustion engines, electric motors, etc.
I've been driving a 1.3T for two years now, while my friend owns a 1.5T. The daily driving differences are quite noticeable. The 1.3T is particularly fuel-efficient in city traffic jams, with my dashboard showing around 6.5L/100km. However, it struggles when overtaking on highways, especially when climbing hills where I need to press the accelerator harder. My friend's 1.5T feels much more powerful, with obvious acceleration kickback at startup, and no pressure even with AC on and full load. But his car costs about a hundred yuan more in annual vehicle and vessel tax, and he refuels more frequently than I do. If the budget allows, the 1.5T is indeed more enjoyable to drive. But for someone like me who mainly commutes in the city, the 1.3T is sufficient and more economical.
