2 Answers
The Bora is available with two engine displacements: 1.5L and 1.4L. The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, coded as EA211-DMB, delivers a maximum power of 83 kW and a peak torque of 145 Nm. The 1.4L turbocharged engine, coded as EA211-DJS, produces a maximum power of 110 kW and a peak torque of 250 Nm. The Bora is a compact car under the FAW-Volkswagen brand, with dimensions of 4663 mm in length, 1815 mm in width, and 1462 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2688 mm. In terms of exterior design, the Bora features Volkswagen's signature front grille, winged-style headlights, and redesigned rear contours and taillights compared to the current model. The body lines are more streamlined, and it comes with stylish aluminum alloy wheels.
I've driven the Volkswagen Bora and found it offers several engine displacement options, catering well to different types of drivers. The mainstream choice is the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, which is exceptionally smooth for city driving, with gentle starts and low fuel consumption—averaging around 7-8 liters per 100 km, and even dropping to about 6 liters on highways. It's fuel-efficient and hassle-free, making it a cost-effective option for young drivers. Then there's the 1.4L turbocharged TSI version, which delivers more power and a noticeable push-back feeling during acceleration, ideal for those who enjoy driving dynamics. However, it consumes slightly more fuel, around 8-9 liters per 100 km in urban areas, and requires regular turbo component checks during maintenance. There's also a smaller 1.2L TSI option available in some regions, which is particularly economical, with fuel consumption kept at 6-7 liters per 100 km, though it offers weaker power, making it suitable for suburban commuting. When choosing an engine displacement, consider your daily driving conditions and budget: opt for the 1.5L if you frequently encounter city traffic, try the 1.4T if you drive more on highways, as your driving style directly impacts comfort.
