What is the wheelbase of the Bora, and what are its length, width, and height?
2 Answers
The dimensions of the Bora are 4523*1775*1467mm (length*width*height), with a wheelbase of 2610mm. Relevant information about the Bora is as follows: 1. Exterior: The 2011 Bora's wheelbase is 97mm longer than the previous model, reaching 2610mm, which is close to the wheelbase of many B-segment cars. This increase in wheelbase significantly enhances the interior space of the 2011 Bora, with almost all the added length dedicated to improving rear-seat space, greatly enhancing passenger comfort. Its body dimensions are 4540×1775×1467mm, slightly smaller than the Lavida. In terms of design, the 2011 Bora was inspired by the traditional Chinese lion dance. Viewed from a 45-degree angle at the front, the 2011 Bora differs somewhat from the Bora Classic, appearing more grand and imposing. The lion-eye-style headlights exude a sense of power, while the side profile reveals more fluid, elegant, and elongated body lines, embodying the agility and strength of a lion dance. 2. Powertrain: The most significant change in the 2011 Bora 1.4TSI Sport Edition is the installation of the EA111 series 1.4TSI turbocharged engine produced by FAW-Volkswagen's Dalian engine plant. This engine has been used in various Volkswagen models, including the Golf, Lavida, Sagitar, Magotan, and Octavia. The Volkswagen 1.4TSI engine delivers a maximum power of 96 kW at 5000 rpm and a peak torque of 220 N·m between 1750-3500 rpm, outperforming many conventional 2.0L naturally aspirated engines. Paired with a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission, the powertrain performance is significantly improved. In terms of acceleration, the 2011 Bora 1.4TSI Sport Edition can achieve 0-100km/h in approximately 10 seconds, meeting the demands of daily driving and even some sporty driving.
The Bora has a wheelbase of 2688 mm, a length of 4663 mm, a width of 1815 mm, and a height of 1473 mm. I've been driving this car for several years, and when I take my wife and kids out, the generous wheelbase makes the rear seats particularly spacious, allowing plenty of legroom without feeling cramped. The width is just right—maneuvering and parking in the neighborhood is smooth, with no worries about scraping the sides. The height is moderate, effortlessly clearing underground parking height barriers. When choosing a car, these dimensions were my top priority—too big or too small would be inconvenient. A shorter wheelbase makes the rear seats uncomfortable, while a longer one makes turning difficult; a narrower width risks scratches in heavy traffic, while a wider one makes parking tight. Every time I wash the car and see it gleaming in the sunlight, its sleek and sporty design with well-balanced dimensions reassures me—it’s a perfect choice for family commuting.
