What engine does the Sagitar use?
2 Answers
The Sagitar is equipped with 1.2T and 1.4T turbocharged engines. The four-cylinder engine model used in the Sagitar is the EA211, which is also a relatively classic engine produced by Volkswagen. Many models under the Volkswagen brand use this engine. The Sagitar brand was jointly established by German Volkswagen and China FAW in 2006. The Sagitar is a compact sedan launched by FAW-Volkswagen. The 2006 version of the Sagitar was positioned as a 'German high-performance sedan.' The 2006 Sagitar was developed based on the fifth-generation Jetta sold by Volkswagen in North America. The 2006 Sagitar, developed on Volkswagen's new-generation PQ35 chassis, has the same technical content as overseas models, with the difference being that overseas models use the advanced FSI engine, while domestic models only retain the original 1.8T, 2.0, and 1.6 engines.
I usually pay attention to the Volkswagen Sagitar, which commonly uses a 1.4-liter or 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, especially the TSI engine from the EA211 series, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. This powertrain delivers smooth output, quick starts in the city, and solid acceleration on the highway. It boasts high fuel efficiency, with a combined fuel consumption of about 6-7L/100km, making it hassle-free for daily use—just switch to synthetic oil during maintenance. Technologically, it features direct fuel injection and variable valve timing, enhancing responsiveness, but regular maintenance is essential to prolong its lifespan. Compared to its peers, the power is sufficient, making it suitable for those who enjoy driving pleasure.
