Here are the differences between the 2020 and 2019 Bora models: 1. Different body dimensions: The 2020 model has a length of 4663 mm, width of 1815 mm, and height of 1462 mm; the 2019 Bora has a length of 4562 mm, width of 1793 mm, and height of 1468 mm. 2. Different wheelbase: The 2020 model has a wheelbase of 2688 mm; the 2019 Bora has a wheelbase of 2614 mm. 3. Both the 2020 and 2019 Bora models are FAW-Volkswagen compact 4-door 5-seater sedans, equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum torque of 145 N·m, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving the 2019 Bora for almost a year, and last week I specifically test-drove the 2020 model. The differences are quite noticeable. First, the exterior: the 2020 model has a sharper front grille with more modern headlight designs, giving it a sportier vibe compared to the more conservative 2019 version. Inside, the 2020 model features a significantly larger infotainment screen with smoother operation, plus added smart navigation and safety features like blind-spot monitoring. In terms of performance, the 2020 model switches to a 1.5L engine, which is more fuel-efficient than the 2019's 1.6L and offers smoother city driving. Overall, the 2020 model has stronger tech appeal for younger buyers seeking novelty, while the 2019 version offers better discounts and practical savings. Personally, I'd recommend the 2020 model if the budget allows, but the 2019 is still perfectly capable.
