What is the horsepower of the Volkswagen Magotan 2.0T model?
2 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.
