What is the displacement of the Volkswagen 280tsi?
3 Answers
Volkswagen 280tsi has a displacement of 1.4 liters. The 280tsi is a model under Volkswagen. Taking Volkswagen's mid-size sedan Passat as an example: The Passat is equipped with a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 110kW, a maximum torque of 250Nm, a maximum power speed of 5000 rpm, and a maximum torque speed range of 1750 to 3000 rpm. It features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The dimensions of the Passat are 4933mm in length, 1836mm in width, and 1836mm in height. In terms of appearance, the Passat adopts Volkswagen's new design philosophy, featuring a light-rhythm front face design combined with a flowing chrome trim, an evolved version of Volkswagen's signature grille, a dot-matrix horizontal integrated grille, dual-L rotary full LED lens headlights, and a more robust engine hood, all contributing to the new front face design.
The Volkswagen 280TSI refers to a 1.4-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, where the number 280 represents the engine's maximum torque of approximately 280 Newton-meters, not the displacement itself. This engine is commonly found in models like the Volkswagen Golf and Jetta, delivering around 150 horsepower with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of over 8 seconds. It provides adequate but not wild power for driving. As someone with a mechanical background who studies engine structures, I can tell you that this engine features an inline-four-cylinder design with a high compression ratio and decent fuel efficiency, consuming about 6-7 liters per 100 km in city driving. However, the turbocharging system requires careful maintenance, such as frequent cooling and air filter replacements, to prevent overheating or carbon buildup. If buying a used car, it's advisable to check the ignition coils, as they are prone to aging and issues. Overall, it's quite reliable and more than sufficient for family use.
I drive a Volkswagen 280TSI with a 1.4L turbocharged engine. It feels smooth and fuel-efficient, with city commuting fuel consumption around 7L/100km, dropping to 6L/100km on highways. Last family road trip with four people and luggage, it had sufficient power for uphill climbs with quick throttle response. Regular 92-octane gasoline works fine, saving costs. Over two years of driving, no major issues except slight cold-start hesitation in winter. Recommend regular engine cleaning to maintain lubrication system efficiency. This small-displacement engine suits urban driving well, offering stable acceleration and light handling.
