What engine does the T-Roc use?
2 Answers
The T-Roc is equipped with 1.2T and 1.4T turbocharged engines, with the 1.4T engine offering two power output variants. The T-Roc's engine is a four-cylinder unit, specifically the newly developed EA211 1.4T turbocharged engine based on Volkswagen's MQB platform. As a compact SUV, the T-Roc measures 4318 mm in length, 1819 mm in width, and 1582 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680 mm. In terms of suspension, the T-Roc features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension. Exterior-wise, the T-Roc showcases a distinctive X-shaped front fascia formed by the clever integration of the horizontal upper grille with LED headlights, complemented by a honeycomb lower grille and signature circular LED daytime running lights.
I recently bought a T-Roc equipped with Volkswagen's 1.5-liter TSI turbocharged engine, delivering around 150 horsepower. The power response is quick, and you can feel the acceleration push when speeding up. It feels quite stable on the highway. This engine has variants in different global markets—for example, the EA211 series is common in China, while the European versions offer 1.0-liter and 2.0-liter options. The 1.0-liter is suitable for daily commuting, while the 2.0-liter is better for performance seekers. Turbocharging technology ensures strong torque at low RPMs, improving fuel efficiency, with actual consumption around 6 liters per 100 km. Regular maintenance is crucial—I recommend checking the engine oil and air filter to prevent carbon buildup. The engine's noise control is also well-handled, keeping the cabin quiet, and it pairs smoothly with the automatic transmission.
