What is the horsepower of the Volkswagen Magotan 2.0T model?
4 Answers
There are two horsepower specifications for the Volkswagen Magotan 2.0T model, depending on whether it uses a low-power or high-power engine: The low-power version of the 2.0T engine delivers 186 horsepower; The high-power version of the 2.0T engine delivers 220 horsepower. The low-power version of the Magotan's 2.0-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum torque of 320 Nm, with the engine's maximum power output achieved between 4,100 and 6,000 rpm, and maximum torque available from 1,500 to 4,000 rpm. The high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine boasts a maximum torque of 350 Nm, with its maximum power output achieved between 4,500 and 6,200 rpm, and maximum torque available from 1,500 to 4,400 rpm.
I drive a Magotan 2.0T, which comes in two power versions. The low-power 330TSI has 186 horsepower, while the high-end 380TSI boasts 220 horsepower. For city driving, 186 horsepower is more than enough, and the throttle response is quick when overtaking. On the highway, switching to sport mode with higher engine RPM gives a noticeable push-back feeling. I remember during the test drive, the salesperson mentioned that the EA888 engine paired with the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission has a fuel consumption of around 8 liters. A friend of mine flashed the ECU to boost it to 250 horsepower, but I don't recommend doing that as it could void the warranty. When choosing a car, pay attention to the tail badge numbers—330 and 380 indeed feel different to drive.
The Magotan 2.0T comes in high and low power versions. The new 380TSI model delivers a maximum of 220 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque. These figures rank it in the upper-middle range among its peers, significantly outperforming the Accord 1.5T's 194 horsepower. Having driven the older 200-horsepower version, I find the throttle response in the newly tuned version more precise. Especially during acceleration from 60-100km/h, the dual-clutch transmission downshifts particularly crisply. The chassis tuning leans towards comfort, and even with 220 horsepower, it doesn't understeer when cornering. If you frequently drive long distances, the high-power version is recommended, and the transmission also includes a manual mode. Note that it requires 95-octane fuel, and regular carbon deposit cleaning helps maintain performance.
It depends on the model year and configuration. The current Magotan 2.0T comes with two horsepower ratings. The 330 model has 186 horsepower, while the 380 version boosts it to 220 horsepower. This third-generation EA888 engine features direct fuel injection and delivers ample low-end torque. In real-world driving, it feels even more powerful than the specs suggest—D mode is sufficient for daily use, while S mode unleashes stronger performance. The official 0-100 km/h acceleration time is around 7 seconds, but real-world tests show it's even quicker. We recommend opting for the 380 version—it costs only about 20,000 RMB more but offers a significantly better driving experience. For those in colder regions, remember to use 0W40 engine oil to protect the turbocharger.
