China Naming Network - Eight-character Q&A - New and old domestic golf models 1.4T? What happens when there is no new 1.5T?

New and old domestic golf models 1.4T? What happens when there is no new 1.5T?

On July 28th, FAW-Volkswagen made a new generation of golf (Golf 8) off the production line of Foshan factory, which indicated that the new car was not far from the official listing.

However, the official has confirmed that Golf 8 before listing will be equipped with the same EA2 1 1? 1.4T? & amp? 1.2T engine and overseas version EA2 1 1? Evo? Skip the 1.5T engine directly, and the domestic version will be equipped with the updated version EA2 1 1 in 2023. Evo2? 1.5T engine.

I tell you, it's really that good! Buy buy Jun didn't talk about the profound technical principles, but explained them to you in the most popular words.

The power parameters of the new 1.5T engine are the same as those of the current 1.4T, and there are two adjustments: 13 1 horsepower and 150 horsepower. However, the brand-new 1.5T engine is more fuel-efficient, thanks to key technologies such as VTG variable turbine geometry, Otto-Miller double cycle and variable cylinder, and can match the 48V light mixing system.

VTG variable turbine geometry improves the smoothness of output and the foot feel of throttle starting, and also makes exhaust smoother; The advantage of Otto-Miller dual cycle is to improve the combustion efficiency and make the fuel burn more fully. Cylinder-changing technology is to stop fuel injection when two cylinders cruise, so as to achieve the purpose of fuel saving.

Sounds familiar? Yes, this new EA2 1 1? Evo? 1.5T engine technology is based on the third generation EA888? 2.0T engine. With the help of higher power motor and larger capacity battery, the fuel economy can be further improved and the engine can be started and stopped more smoothly after the 48V light mixing system is selected.

In addition, the layout of the new 1.5T engine has also been optimized. The intercooler is placed in front of the throttle instead of behind it, which has larger volume, stronger cooling capacity and lower intake temperature, making the new 1.5T engine have higher combustion efficiency than the old 1.4t engine. ..

Although they are all called EA2 1 1, most parts of the new 1.5T engine and the original 1.4T engine are not universal. It can be said that EA2 1 1 to EA2 1? The upgrade of Evo series engines is no less than the technical and performance leap from EA11to EA2 1 1 series engines before Volkswagen. EA21? It is no exaggeration to say that Evo series engines are newly developed engines.

The new EA2 1 1? Evo? 1.5T is good, but it's a pity that the domestic version of Golf 8 won't be carried, so it's directly replaced with the updated version EA2 1 1? Evo2? 1.5T, that will wait until 2023, wait or not?

Buy buy Jun believes that China consumers don't have to wait for a new engine. First of all, although the biggest selling point of Golf 8 is this new engine, it is not the only one. For example, the brand-new exterior interior design, compact chassis adjustment of golf cart and excellent cornering control are also attractive places of Golf 8.

Moreover, most consumers are not studying automobile technology every day, and are not interested in using new or old engines or the difference in fuel consumption performance. Many people who want to buy senior eight may just like the short and pithy electronic files similar to Porsche 9 1 1.

Secondly, the introduction of new technologies and engines will inevitably increase the manufacturing costs of manufacturers, and manufacturers, whether they are companies or not, will pass these costs back to consumers. The price of the new 1.5T is definitely not good-looking, and consumers definitely don't want to see it, which will affect sales, and that manufacturer doesn't want to see it either.

If we really have to wait until 2023, EA2 1 1? Evo2? It is not impossible for 1.5T to go public. From the product point of view, it is of course the most perfect choice, but it may be more expensive. However, it has become a fact that Volkswagen let the domestic high 8 carry the old model 1.4T first, and consumers in China will accept it whether they buy it or not.

In addition to Volkswagen, some brands also like to use different types of engines or configurations for the same model in domestic and foreign markets, such as the new Changan Mazda 3 Angkeira, the latest compression-ignition Chuangchi Blue Sky X series engine in overseas markets such as the United States, and the old Chuangchi Blue Sky G series engine in China market. The launch of Chuangchi Blue Sky X Series will have to wait.

As buy buy Jun just said, the selling point of a new car is not just an engine or a configuration. If you care about whether a car has this configuration, you'd better wait until this configuration is installed in China. And if you don't care, it's okay to start right away.

But it is also true that some brands treat domestic and foreign markets differently, and it is not once or twice. Whatever the reason, some manufacturers give priority to the latest good things in other countries' markets, while China is still using second-hand goods. As China people, they are somewhat dissatisfied.

Generally speaking, the domestic Golf 8 is still equipped with the old 1.4T engine, because it is not perfect without the new 1.5T engine. We won't pursue it after it has become a fact, but we still hope that Volkswagen can fulfill its promise in 2023 and replace the domestic Golf 8 and overseas edition with the updated EA2 1 1? Evo2? 1.5T engine, showing sincerity to repay China, the largest single market of Volkswagen brand in the world.
