What is the maximum displacement of the Bora?

The new Bora is equipped with two engines, one is a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, and the other is a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine. The following are the details about the two engines used in the new Bora: 1. The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine has the model code EA211-DMB. This engine has a maximum power of 83 kW, a maximum torque of 145 Nm, a maximum power speed of 6000 rpm, and a maximum torque speed of 3900 rpm. 2. The 1.4-liter turbocharged engine has the model code EA211-DJS. This engine has a maximum power of 110 kW, a maximum torque of 250 Nm, a maximum power speed range of 5000 to 6000 rpm, and a maximum torque speed range of 1750 to 3000 rpm.
From the perspective of engine evolution, the Bora series did indeed have large-displacement versions. I particularly remember the 2008 Bora Classic being equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, which was probably the largest displacement configuration in the Bora family. However, now in 2023, the new Bora models all feature small-displacement engines, with the largest being the 1.5L naturally aspirated EA211 series, along with optional 1.2T and 1.4T turbocharged variants. This change is mainly due to stricter environmental policies and Volkswagen's modular strategy. In fact, the current 1.5L version paired with a 6AT transmission is more fuel-efficient for daily driving compared to the old 2.0L model, and the power is sufficient, though it lacks some of the high-end torque characteristic of larger displacement engines.
