Which engine is used in the Volkswagen Lamando?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Lamando is equipped with the EA211 engine. Below is an extended introduction to the EA211 engine: The EA211 can be considered an upgraded version of the EA111, with many technological differences between the two. The EA211 leads internationally in lightweight design, power enhancement, torque improvement, and emission reduction: 1. The EA211 engine is the first in China to meet the Euro V standard and enter mass production, while the EA111 meets the National V standard. 2. The EA211's TSI integrates advanced technologies such as turbocharging and direct fuel injection. 3. Compared to the EA111, the EA211 uses an all-aluminum cylinder block, reducing weight by 22KG. 4. In contrast to the EA111, the EA211 employs a high-performance timing belt, which lowers cost and weight and reduces engine noise. However, it requires regular maintenance, increasing upkeep costs.
As a Lamando owner for two years, I've been using it for daily commuting. The car is typically equipped with Volkswagen's 1.4-liter turbocharged gasoline engine from the EA211 series, which provides adequate power for everyday driving with responsive acceleration in urban areas without feeling sluggish. It's quite fuel-efficient, averaging around 6-7 liters per 100 kilometers, making it cost-effective and hassle-free for long-term use. Compared to other models in the same class, the Lamando's engine paired with the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission is well-tuned, delivering smooth gear shifts even in traffic jams without noticeable jerks. Maintenance is straightforward, requiring only regular oil and filter changes—minor services every 5,000 kilometers—and mechanics at repair shops are familiar with the procedures. Although it can feel slightly underpowered during steep highway climbs, it perfectly balances performance and practicality for daily commuting. I find it effortless for road trips, with minimal engine noise that doesn't interfere with conversations.
