2 Answers
2019 Bora is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, which is a compact car. The body dimensions of the 2019 Bora are: length 4562mm, width 1793mm, height 1468mm, wheelbase 2614mm, fuel tank capacity 55L, trunk capacity 490L, and curb weight 1240kg. The 2019 Bora features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension. It has a maximum horsepower of 112ps, maximum power of 82kw, maximum torque of 145nm, and is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I previously drove a 2019 Bora on long-distance trips and found its engine performance quite impressive. It uses Volkswagen's EA211 series engines, with two mainstream configurations: a 1.5L naturally aspirated and a 1.4L turbocharged. The 1.5L version delivers around 113 horsepower, which is decent and suitable for city commuting. The 1.4T is much better, with 150 horsepower, quick acceleration, and responsive starts when paired with the DSG transmission, making overtaking effortless and delivering noticeable push-back sensation on highways. The overall lightweight and compact structure ensures high fuel efficiency, with a combined fuel consumption of around 7L, which isn’t too bad. Even when driving on mountain roads or carrying heavy loads, the power reduction is manageable. Maintenance is affordable, requiring an oil change every six months, and it’s reliable—I’ve had no issues over two years of ownership. The optimized design for heat dissipation and reduced vibration ensures a stable driving experience, a strong suit of German cars. It also holds its value well in the used car market, making it a great recommendation for those who enjoy driving pleasure.
