Volkswagen Golf 7's engine model is G40954. The function of the engine is to convert the thermal energy of gasoline into mechanical energy by burning the expanding gas in a sealed cylinder to push the piston to do work. The Golf 7 is a compact car with a length, width, and height of 4296mm, 1788mm, and 1471mm respectively, a wheelbase of 2636mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters. In terms of power, the Golf 7 is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 85kW, a maximum power speed of 5000 rpm, and a maximum torque of 200Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving for over a decade, and the Volkswagen Golf 7 is really quite a common model. Speaking of engine types, it has several options depending on the year and version. For gasoline engines, the 1.2 TSI is great for entry-level users—small displacement, fuel-efficient, and lightweight, making it smooth for city driving. The 1.4 TSI is more mainstream, with a bit more horsepower, perfect for highway driving. For diesel options, there's the 1.6 TDI and 2.0 TDI, which offer high torque, making uphill driving easier. The high-end version like the GTI uses a 2.0 TSI, delivering strong power and quick acceleration, but you should be careful not to drive too aggressively to avoid engine overheating. As for maintenance, the TSI series engines are prone to carbon buildup, so I go for oil changes and servicing every six months—I recommend using genuine parts to extend the engine's lifespan. Overall, it's reliable, and if you pick the right model, it’s a solid choice.
