What is the engine model of the Volkswagen Teramont?

The engine model used in the Volkswagen Teramont is the EA888-DPL, with a maximum horsepower of 186 HP, a maximum power output of 137 KW, a maximum power speed range of 4100-6000 rpm, and a peak torque of 320 N.m. The EA390 engine in the Volkswagen Teramont is an imported engine, produced at Volkswagen's manufacturing plant in Salzgitter, France. For the daily maintenance of the Volkswagen Teramont's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD to SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB to CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the relief valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. In small amounts, it remains suspended in the oil; in large amounts, it precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates properly but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
The Volkswagen Teramont in China is primarily equipped with the EA888 series 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, available in two power variants: a low-power version with 137 kW and a high-power version with 162 kW, delivering a torque of 350 Nm for crisp acceleration. I always enjoy delving into technical details—this engine features direct fuel injection and variable valve timing design, offering high combustion efficiency and fuel economy, with an average urban commuting fuel consumption of around 8-9 liters. The power response is quick, making highway overtaking effortless, though it may feel slightly strained on steep climbs. Volkswagen's tuning ensures excellent noise control, minimal vibration, and smooth, jerk-free driving. The new Teramont is also pushing electrification, but the gasoline version boasts high daily reliability. It's wise to test-drive for power matching when selecting, especially since its low-RPM high-torque output is highly practical for long-distance travel.
