Volkswagen utilized the 377th Vienna Motor Symposium as the stage to bring a new turbocharged gasoline engine called the EA211. This engine is the first next-generation gasoline mills that the car maker will rollout throughout its lineup beginning late 2016.
With a displacement of 1.5 liters, the EA211 has a little turbocharger to provide plenty of torque from as low as 1,300 rpm, and is said to provide better fuel economy. Volkswagen is utilizing an exhaust gas turbo with a variable turbine geometry that’s electrically operated. The engine features direct injection, a 12.5:1 compression ratio, an integrated exhaust manifold and cylinder deactivation. 2 versions will be readily available, a 129 hp variation or a more effective variant with 134 hp.
Thermodynamic effectiveness has actually likewise been enhanced in the EA211 thanks to it working on the Miller cycle, where volumetric performance is lower compared with an engine with standard valve timing. The exhaust gas turbocharger likewise assists provide high turbine output and charge pressure from low speeds, which assists enhance the engine’s responsiveness. Volkswagen told that as compared to the 1.4-liter turbo-four it will ultimately replace, the EA211’s action change in load to optimum torque is 35 percent quicker.
Volkswagen’s 4th generation direct-injection system will likewise be applied for the very first time in the EA211 and it has actually been optimized to increase injection pressure to 350 bar. As a result, the mix development has been improved and has caused a substantial reduction in particulate emissions. The injector pointer’s diameter has likewise been decreased to 6 mm, which was done to improve the combustion chamber’s combination, tightness, and decrease temperature levels at the injector plate.
