Why is there a bulge in the rear of Volkswagen cars?
1 Answers
Volkswagen cars have a bulge in the rear due to the exhaust pipe or drive shaft located under the chassis. Typically, rear-wheel-drive vehicles require a drive shaft to transmit the engine's power to the rear wheels, necessitating this structural bulge. The Volkswagen Lavida has a body length, width, and height of 4670mm, 1806mm, and 1474mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2688mm, and features front-engine, front-wheel-drive. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. This engine delivers a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm, and also incorporates direct fuel injection technology with an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.
