What is the displacement of Jetta?
4 Answers
Jetta currently offers three displacement options: 1.4L, 1.5L, and 1.4TSI, equipped with Volkswagen Group's latest generation EA211 series engines, paired with a 6-speed Tiptronic transmission, supplemented by CEPS electronic speed-assisted steering. Below is an introduction about displacement: Classification of displacement: In China, automobiles are classified based on their displacement size. Mini cars have a displacement of 1.0L or less; ordinary cars have a displacement ranging from 1.0L to 1.6L; mid-size cars have a displacement ranging from 1.6L to 2.5L; upper mid-size cars have a displacement ranging from 2.5L to 4.0L; and luxury cars have a displacement of more than 4.0L. Automobile displacement: Displacement is a specialized term in hydraulic transmission, referring to the volume of fluid inhaled or discharged per stroke or cycle. Automobile displacement is an important parameter for measuring a car. Some domestic cars do not have the above-mentioned model markings on the rear, but their displacement is generally indicated on the body or rear of the car.
The engine displacement of the Jetta really depends on the specific model. The classic older Jetta used a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine—the kind of durable cast-iron engine commonly found in taxis everywhere. Later, with the model update to the new Jetta, the displacement changed, with the most common options being 1.4-liter and 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engines, which provide sufficient power for city driving while being fuel-efficient. Some sportier versions were equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, offering smaller displacement but stronger burst power. Recently, there’s been talk of a new 1.2T turbo version, which further improves fuel efficiency with its small-displacement turbo. When choosing a car, you need to check the specific year and model, as the displacement can vary by up to 0.3 liters between different versions.
I've driven three Jettas and know their displacements inside out. The early square-head Jettas were all equipped with 1.6L naturally aspirated engines. Later models introduced a 1.4L version after facelifts, which felt slightly sluggish at traffic lights but delivered fuel consumption of just over 6L/100km. The 2015 facelift models adopted the EA211 series 1.5L engine, boosting horsepower to 110. The GLI version deserves special mention - its 1.4T turbocharged engine delivers 150 horsepower with impressive acceleration. In the used car market now, the old 1.6L Jettas are particularly sought after due to their great modification potential.
The currently available New Jetta comes standard with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 82 kW. Earlier models offered 1.4L and 1.6L engine options, with the 1.6L variant producing 74 kW power and 145 N·m torque. The sport version once featured a 1.4TSI turbocharged engine with 131 horsepower paired to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Note that since the 2019 model year, the entire lineup switched to the 1.5L engine, with the older 1.6L and 1.4T engines being discontinued. Various displacement versions can be found in the used car market, so remember to verify the vehicle identification plate during inspection.
