What is the displacement of the Bora?

[Londyn]

The displacement of the Bora is 1.5L. Taking the 2021 Bora as an example, its body structure is a 4-door 5-seater sedan, with body dimensions of: length 4663mm, width 1815mm, height 1462mm, a wheelbase of 2688mm, a fuel tank capacity of 50L, a luggage compartment capacity of 506L, and a curb weight of 1320kg. The 2021 Bora features a front suspension system of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension system of torsion beam non-independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 116PS, a maximum power of 85kW, and a maximum torque of 200Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I've driven many generations of Bora, and the displacement depends on the specific year. The current new Bora models are mostly equipped with 1.2T or 1.5T turbocharged engines. The 1.2T engine has a displacement of 1190cc, while the 1.5T has 1498cc. The older models also had a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine (1498cc) and a 1.4T (1395cc). You can check the numbers on the rear badge, for example, 180TSI indicates the 1.2T, and 280TSI is the 1.4T. Currently, the new cars sold at 4S dealerships are mainly the 1.2T and 1.5T versions, with fuel consumption around 5-6 liters per 100km, and the power is completely sufficient. When choosing a car, I recommend test driving to feel the differences—the 1.5T offers more relaxed acceleration in the latter stages.

Last week I accompanied a friend to check out the Bora. The salesperson mentioned that all currently available models are small-displacement turbocharged vehicles. The main models are equipped with 1.2T and 1.5T engines, with specific displacements of 1.2 liters and 1.5 liters respectively. Long-time owners might remember the previous 1.6L naturally aspirated version, but now all models come with turbochargers. The difference between these two displacements isn't very noticeable in city driving, but the 1.5T offers better power reserve on highways. Interestingly, the new Bora's 1.5T engine has a slightly larger displacement than the old 1.4T, yet it's more fuel-efficient, saving about 0.8 liters per 100 kilometers. If you mainly drive in the city, the 1.2T is completely sufficient and more fuel-efficient.

My family has owned three generations of Bora, from the 1.8L to the current 1.5T. The smallest displacement available at the 4S store now is the 1.2-liter turbocharged (1190cc), and the largest is the 1.5-liter turbocharged (1498cc). The 1.2T model has a maximum horsepower of 116, while the 1.5T has 160. Remember that naturally aspirated engines were discontinued after 2019, so if you want a larger displacement, you'll have to look at other car series. With the smaller displacement, fuel consumption has decreased, and the current automatic transmission model has a combined fuel consumption of only about 5.7L, significantly reducing the cost of ownership.

The Bora offers clear engine displacement options: all current models are turbocharged, available in 1199cc 1.2T and 1498cc 1.5T variants. The 1.2T engine powers the Changxing version, achieving 0-100km/h in over 11 seconds, while the 1.5T in the Zunxing version is about 2 seconds quicker. Both engines meet China 6b emissions standards and run on 92-octane gasoline. In real-world driving, the 1.2T suffices for city use, but the 1.5T is recommended for frequent long-distance travel. Volkswagen markets this 1.5T as the EA211 Evo2 - its fuel consumption is slightly higher than Japanese hybrids, but it boasts lower maintenance costs. When choosing displacement, consider annual mileage: the 1.5T makes more sense for drivers covering over 20,000km yearly.

The current Bora has only two engine displacements: the standard 1.2T (1199cc) and the high-end 1.5T (1498cc). The 1.2T delivers a maximum power of 85kW, while the 1.5T offers 118kW. The difference is minimal for city driving, but the 1.5T makes highway overtaking much easier. Both versions come with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission, and this powertrain is quite mature. Despite the small displacement of turbocharged engines, the 1.5T outperforms the 2.0L naturally aspirated engines from a decade ago. The key advantage is low fuel consumption—according to Xiaoxiong Youhao statistics, the real-world fuel consumption for the 1.5T model averages 6.3L, making it very cost-effective to own.
