What engine is used in the Skoda Karoq?

EA211-DJS is the engine model used in the Skoda Karoq, with a maximum horsepower of 150 hp, maximum power of 110 KW, maximum power speed of 5000 rpm, and peak torque of 250 N.m. The engine of the Skoda Karoq comes from SAIC General Motors and is domestically produced. For daily maintenance of the Skoda Karoq'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 of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid faults, the oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate. When oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and sticky substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and bring dirt back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. 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 powder from component wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, blocking the filter and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a 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.
The domestic version of this Karoq is equipped with Volkswagen's EA211 series 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum of 150 horsepower, making it particularly agile to drive. I've taken it on long trips, and it handles city starts effortlessly while overtaking on highways is crisp. The fuel consumption pleasantly surprised me – around 7L/100km in urban areas, dropping to about 6L/100km on highways. The paired 7-speed dual-clutch transmission responds quickly with almost imperceptible gear shifts. The EA211 is a classic Volkswagen engine, also used in models like the Lavida and Golf, known for its reliability. However, my colleague's overseas version comes with a 1.5T engine offering slightly more power, which isn't available domestically. If you're seeking higher performance, you might want to consider other models.
