What is the compression ratio of the Tharu engine?
2 Answers
The compression ratio of the Tharu engine is 9:1, which is a turbocharged engine. The Tharu offers two powertrain models, equipped with 1.4T and 2.0T turbocharged engines respectively. The 1.4T engine delivers a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, while the 2.0T engine provides a maximum power of 137 kW and a maximum torque of 320 Nm. Here are some details about the Tharu: 1. Dimensions: The Tharu is a vehicle launched by SAIC Volkswagen, with a length, width, and height of 4453mm, 1841mm, and 1632mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2680mm. 2. Exterior: The Tharu adopts the Rock Cutting design concept. The raised lines on the backbone-style hood enhance the sense of power, while the wide-body dual U-shaped full LED headlights tilt upwards, with the grille strips extending to the headlights.
I often study car specifications, and the engine compression ratio of SUVs like the Tharu is quite interesting. Its commonly used 1.5TSI engine has a compression ratio of around 10.5:1, which is a well-balanced design that provides good power response while also being fuel-efficient. A higher compression ratio improves combustion efficiency, but if it's too high, it can cause knocking and require higher-octane gasoline; if it's too low, the power output will be weak. The Tharu's setup ensures quick acceleration in city driving and stable fuel consumption of 7-8L/100km on highways. After driving it for several years, I find it quite reliable. Additionally, the compression ratio also affects engine longevity, so regular maintenance, including checking spark plugs and the intake system, is essential. There might be slight variations in different model years, but 10.5:1 is the standard value, making maintenance simple without compromising performance.
