What are the differences between the Passat 280 and 330?

[RuthDella]

The differences between the Passat 280 and 330 lie in the driving experience and the special technologies of their engines. Below are the relevant details: 1. Driving Experience The 1.4T engine in the Passat 280 serves as the entry-level powertrain for the model. Once on the road, it lacks the mid-to-high-speed power sensation. In contrast, the 2.0T displacement model of the Passat 330 offers a stronger mid-to-high-speed power sensation. 2. Special Engine Technologies The 1.4T EA211 engine in the Passat 280 comes in high and low power versions, primarily used in mid-to-low-end models. A comparison of engine parameters reveals that the EA211 engine in the Passat 330 already matches the performance of a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine. The output RPM for maximum power and torque provides the Passat with decent acceleration capabilities in the mid-range.
