What is the drivetrain of the Bora?
2 Answers
The drivetrain of the Bora is front-engine, front-wheel drive. The new Bora is equipped with two engines: a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.4-liter turbocharged engine delivers 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 N·m. This engine features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The new Bora is a compact family sedan under the Volkswagen brand. It employs a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear. The car's dimensions are 4562mm in length, 1793mm in width, and 1468mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2614mm.
The drivetrain of this car is quite straightforward - the Bora uses a front-wheel drive design, which is commonly referred to as FWD. With the engine positioned at the front, power is directly transmitted to the front wheels. The biggest advantages of this layout are its high transmission efficiency and particularly rational cabin space utilization, where the absence of that large central tunnel in the rear makes seating three people more comfortable. Its fuel consumption performance is quite practical, sufficient for daily commutes or highway driving. The steering is light, though it exhibits slight understeer during sharp cornering. If you particularly prioritize driving pleasure, you might find it less agile than rear-wheel drive vehicles, but for family use, the stability and fuel efficiency of FWD make it the preferred choice for compact sedans like the Bora.
