Where are Volkswagen's engines produced?

[GavinRose]

All engines used in domestically produced Volkswagen vehicles are manufactured locally. Volkswagen has engine assembly plants in both Dalian and Shanghai, China. In comparison, Volkswagen models enjoy relatively good sales and reputation in China. Volkswagen has several renowned engine series, namely the EA211 and EA888 series. Cars equipped with the EA211 series engines come in various displacement models, some with naturally aspirated engines and others with turbocharged ones. The commonly used EA211 engines in domestically produced Volkswagen vehicles include the 1.5-liter naturally aspirated, 1.2-liter turbocharged, and 1.4-liter turbocharged variants. The EA888 series engines are highly famous, and Volkswagen's EA888 engine has already been updated to its third generation. The third-generation EA888 engine has discontinued the 1.8T models, with all third-generation EA888 engines upgraded to 2.0T models, though there are distinctions between low-power and high-power variants. Volkswagen's R-series performance cars also utilize the EA888 engine. The third-generation EA888 engine features an aluminum cylinder head and an iron cylinder block. The iron cylinder block not only withstands higher temperatures but also endures greater pressure, resulting in improved durability compared to previous series and significantly enhanced modification potential. Both the Audi S3 and Golf R use the third-generation EA888 engine, as do the domestically produced Magotan and Passat. Volkswagen also has a 3.0-liter V6 engine with the code name EA837, though this engine is not very common.
