The following are the specific differences between the 1.4L and 1.6L engines in the Polo: 1. Power: The 1.4L Polo engine has a maximum power of 110kW, a maximum torque of 250 N·m, a maximum power speed of 5000 to 6000 rpm, and a maximum torque speed of 1750 to 3000 rpm. It features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The 1.6L Polo engine has a maximum power of 81kW, a maximum torque of 155 N·m, a maximum power speed of 5800 rpm, and a maximum torque speed of 3800 rpm. It utilizes multi-point fuel injection technology and also uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. 2. Origin: The 1.4L Polo engine is imported from Germany, while the 1.6L engine is domestically produced.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Polo for several years. The main differences between the 1.4 and 1.6 engines lie in power and fuel consumption. The 1.4L engine delivers about 75-85 horsepower, making it agile in the city with a low fuel consumption of 5-6L/100km, ideal for daily commuting. It accelerates smoothly but can feel a bit sluggish on the highway. The 1.6L engine, on the other hand, produces 100-110 horsepower with stronger torque, making overtaking easier, though fuel consumption is slightly higher at around 6-7L/100km. In terms of maintenance, both are reliable with affordable parts. If you frequently drive long distances or prefer a more spirited drive, the 1.6L is more satisfying; for city commuting, the 1.4L is more economical and practical. Don't forget to test drive to feel the difference, as personal preference plays a big role.
