What is the difference between Volkswagen 230 and 280?
2 Answers
The differences between Volkswagen 230 and Volkswagen 280 are: 1. Different power tuning: Volkswagen 230 has 131 horsepower; Volkswagen 280 has 150 horsepower; 2. Different 0-100 km/h acceleration times: Volkswagen 230 takes 8.9 seconds; Volkswagen 280 takes 8.5 seconds. Additional information: The Volkswagen 230 is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4605mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1460mm in height. In terms of appearance, the Volkswagen 230 features two chrome strips on the upper grille, which are connected to the chrome headlight brows, and the front bumper is paired with the lower grille, extending horizontally towards both sides.
Last time I accompanied a friend to check out the Lamando L, I researched this thoroughly. The 230TSI is the low-power version of the 1.4T engine, while the 280TSI is the high-power version. The difference in acceleration push is quite noticeable—the 280 has a full 30 more horsepower than the 230, along with 50 Nm more torque. Overtaking on the highway is noticeably smoother with the 280. Fuel consumption doesn’t differ much, only about 0.3L per 100 km. However, the 280 models generally come with higher specs, like matrix headlights and ACC cruise control, which are mostly reserved for the 280 trim. If your budget allows, I’d recommend going straight for the 280—the extra 20,000 yuan buys you a power reserve that won’t feel outdated for five years.
