3 Answers
The displacement of the Sagitar 230tsi is 1.4 liters. The 230tsi model uses a low-power version of the 1.4-liter turbocharged engine. The 230tsi model is the older version of the Sagitar, and the new Sagitar does not have a 230tsi model. The new Sagitar only has the 200tsi and 280tsi models, which use two engines in total: one is a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.2-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 116 horsepower and a maximum torque of 175 Nm, with the maximum power output at 5000 to 6000 rpm and the maximum torque at 1500 to 4500 rpm. This engine is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The 1.4-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, with the maximum power output at 5000 to 6000 rpm and the maximum torque at 1750 to 3000 rpm. This engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The Sagitar 230TSI is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine with an actual displacement of 1395 ml, approximately 1.4 liters. This model is a low-power tuned version, delivering around 130 horsepower, which is sufficient for daily acceleration and overtaking. It comes with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, offering smooth driving and fuel efficiency, consuming about 7 liters per 100 kilometers in urban driving. Volkswagen's TSI badge used to be named after torque values, with 230 representing the engine's maximum torque range between 225 and 250 Nm. However, the newer models now feature 300TSI, while the older 230TSI versions are still quite common in the used car market.
I drove my friend's Sagitar 230TSI, which is equipped with a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine. Despite its small displacement, it packs quite a punch. When you step on the gas and the turbo kicks in, the acceleration is quick, especially between 60 to 100 km/h, where it feels particularly smooth. Overtaking on the highway is effortless, and it's more than sufficient for daily commuting. A full tank can cover over 600 kilometers, and the fuel consumption is more economical compared to naturally aspirated engines. Maintenance costs are also reasonable, with an oil change costing around 400 yuan. It might struggle a bit when fully loaded and climbing steep hills, but for regular family use, it's genuinely suitable.
