What is the engine model of the Magotan?

Different models are equipped with different engine types. Taking the 2021 Magotan as an example: 1. The new Magotan still comes with 1.4T and 2.0T high and low power engines. The 1.4T engine delivers a maximum power of 110kW and a peak torque of 250N·m. The 2.0T low-power engine offers a maximum power of 137kW and a peak torque of 320N·m. The 2.0T high-power engine provides a maximum power of 162kW and a peak torque of 350N·m. 2. The new Magotan features a luxurious interior with ample space. The body dimensions are 486518321471mm, with a wheelbase of 2871mm, and it boasts up to 28 storage spaces.

As an experienced mechanic, I've seen plenty of Magotan engines, mainly two types. The older models used the EA113 series, like the 2.0T BWA engine, which was quite robust back in the day. Nowadays, the mainstream is the third-generation EA888 engine, available in high and low power versions - the 2.0T low-power DPL model produces about 186 horsepower, while the high-power DKV reaches 220 horsepower. I've also noticed the newer 1.4T small-displacement Magotan uses the EA211 series CSS model, which indeed has much lower fuel consumption. Here's an important reminder for owners: Magotans from around 2012-2015 with second-generation EA888 engines (like the CCTA model) are particularly prone to oil burning - I've seen this most frequently in repairs. If you want to check yourself, just lift the hood and look for the steel stamp on the side of the engine block. The third-generation engines are much more technologically mature now, with their dual injection system making power delivery smoother - they feel quite nimble for city driving.

As an eight-year veteran owner of a Magotan, let me share some insights about engine models. My 2015 2.0T model used the second-generation EA888, specifically the CCTA variant. The power delivery is truly impressive with instant acceleration, though the notorious oil consumption issue is quite bothersome – I always keep spare engine oil in the trunk. In our car owner groups, we've discussed how the 1.4T models all use the EA211 series, while 1.8T and 2.0T versions predominantly feature EA888 family engines. Last year during a test drive of the new model, the salesperson mentioned they now primarily use the third-generation EA888, with the DPL variant producing 186hp for low-power versions and the DKV delivering 220hp for high-performance models – both feel noticeably more responsive in urban driving. From personal experience, besides checking specifications, maintenance costs should be considered when choosing a car. Repairing older generation engines can be quite expensive, especially issues like piston rings and valve cover gaskets. Also, I recommend checking the vehicle identification plate – the engine serial number is typically stamped below the oil filler neck.

When buying a used Magotan, the most important thing is to check the engine model. Open the hood and look for the stamped steel markings on the side of the cylinder block. Older models commonly feature the EA113 series like BPL or BYJ. Currently, the most prevalent in the used car market is the second-generation EA888, with the 1.8T model CEA and 2.0T model CCTA—these require thorough maintenance record checks due to high oil consumption risks. The third-generation EA888 models are more recommended, specifically the 2.0T low-power DPL or high-power DKV variants, which offer significantly better stability. Pay attention to production batches during evaluation, as units manufactured after 2018 are mostly third-generation engines. As a side note, extra inspection is needed for rare early imported 3.2L VR6 BUB models—though uncommon, their repairs are exceptionally costly. After verifying the model, don’t skip the test drive: listen for valve noise during cold starts and watch for blue smoke from the exhaust under hard acceleration—these details are more telling than just checking the model number.
