What is the displacement of the Golf R?
2 Answers
The displacement of the Golf R is 2.0 liters. The car is equipped with Volkswagen's third-generation EA888 engine, which delivers 290 horsepower and a maximum torque of 380 Nm. It can output maximum power between 5,400 and 6,500 rpm and maximum torque between 1,850 and 5,300 rpm. The engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Golf R features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. The multi-link independent suspension enhances wheel contact with the ground, improving traction and, consequently, the car's handling. The Golf R also comes with a full-time all-wheel-drive system and a multi-plate clutch central differential. The all-wheel-drive system enhances mechanical traction and improves acceleration performance.
I've driven the Golf R a few times. The heart of this car is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine. Don't let the small displacement fool you - it packs a serious punch! Last time I floored it on the highway, when the turbo kicked in at certain RPMs, it felt like getting kicked in the back. The all-wheel drive provides rock-solid grip. This kind of small-displacement, high-output tuning is very popular now, meeting emission regulations while squeezing out 320 horsepower. It's also fuel-efficient for daily driving - I've gotten around 9L/100km in the city with gentle driving. But if you really want performance, this powertrain has hidden potential - a stage 1 tune can easily push it past 350hp. Honestly, after driving this car, switching back to a regular family car makes the throttle feel like stepping on cotton.
