What does 380tsi mean at the back of a Volkswagen?
1 Answers
This is Volkswagen's new tail badge labeling method for turbocharged models. Previously, turbocharged models used displacement for tail badge labeling, but now it has been replaced with a combination of torque level and engine type. 380 represents the torque level, and TSI refers to a technology used in the engine. This engine is manufactured by Volkswagen Germany and is a small-displacement turbocharged engine with relatively high efficiency. Here is more information about the TSI engine: 1. Meaning of the TSI engine: TSI stands for Twincharged (dual charging = Turbocharger + Supercharger) Stratified Injection. T refers to twin charging, S refers to stratified, and I refers to injection. TSI is more advanced than FSI and belongs to a high-power, low-speed, high-torque engine. 2. Displacement represented by the TSI engine: (1) If all letters in TSI are red, it indicates the vehicle's engine has a 2.0L displacement. (2) If SI in TSI is red, it indicates the vehicle's engine has a 1.8L displacement. (3) If only I in TSI is red, it indicates the vehicle's engine has a 1.4L displacement.
