What engine is equipped in the 2019 Volkswagen Sagitar?
2 Answers
The 2019 Volkswagen Sagitar is equipped with two types of engines, with model numbers EA211-DSB and EA211-DLS. The EA211-DSB engine has a maximum horsepower of 150 hp, a maximum power of 110 kW, a maximum power speed of 5000-6000 rpm, and a peak torque of 250 N·m. The EA211-DLS engine has a maximum horsepower of 116 hp, a maximum power of 85 kW, a maximum power speed of 5000 rpm, and a peak torque of 175 N·m. The engines of the 2019 Volkswagen Sagitar were developed by Volkswagen in Germany and manufactured in China. For daily maintenance of the 2019 Volkswagen Sagitar's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD-SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, CB-CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and bring contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I drive a 2019 Sagitar 280TSI, equipped with the 1.4T EA211 engine, 150 horsepower paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The power delivery is exceptionally smooth for city commuting, and when overtaking on the highway, the turbo kicks in noticeably above 2000 rpm, providing a strong boost. My colleague opted for the 200TSI with the 1.2T version, which has 115 horsepower—slightly sluggish at take-off but impressively fuel-efficient at just over 6L/100km. A notable detail is that this generation’s engine has optimized turbo lag, responding about half a beat quicker to deep throttle inputs compared to the older models. For routine maintenance, remember to use 0W-20 full synthetic oil. I typically visit the dealership every 7,500 km, and this powertrain has been trouble-free for five years now.
