What is the engine model of the Bora Classic?
2 Answers
It adopts a 1.6L engine block. Vehicle Introduction: The Bora is the first independently designed model by FAW-Volkswagen, hailed as a new car that "inherits the classics and surpasses the classics." Bora: In 2001, Volkswagen Group's new sedan officially debuted in China under the name "Bora BORA," establishing a good reputation as the "driver's car" with its dynamic styling and leading technology. Vehicle Dimensions: The Bora measures 4562/1793/1468mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2614mm. While the dimensions have increased, the interior layout has become more rationalized. Compared to the previous generation, the Bora's actual interior space has significantly improved, with front and rear legroom increased by up to 20mm, providing both drivers and passengers with a more comfortable and spacious environment.
My Bora Classic is a 2008 model, equipped with a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine, either the BJH or BTS model, which belongs to the Volkswagen EA113 series. Having driven it for over a decade, I have deep impressions: this engine is structurally simple and reliable, with its cast-iron cylinder block making it particularly sturdy. In city driving, it consumes around 8 liters per 100 kilometers, and on the highway, it can drop to just over 6 liters. It may be a bit sluggish at start-up, but it runs smoothly without jerking, making it ideal for daily commuting. A common issue is excessive carbon buildup, which can affect throttle response, so I recommend periodically taking it on the highway to rev the engine and clean it out. Maintenance is cheap—just use genuine spark plugs and oil. My car has run 150,000 kilometers without any major repairs. Overall, while it may not be as fuel-efficient or quiet as newer engines, it offers great value for money, carries a nostalgic charm of an old car, and is trustworthy.
