is also an EA888 engine, why are Porsches and Audis so much more expensive than Volkswagens?
EA888 engine is the main model of the middle and high-end models of the Volkswagen Group. It includes two displacements of 1.8L and 2.0L. It is equipped with Porsche Macan, Audi A4, Magotan, CC, Tiguan, Passat, Golf, and Skoda speed Pie and many other models.
There is no shortage of cars like this. Remarks: I think that Audi is essentially changing the target Volkswagen, because although Audi and Volkswagen adopt different strategies in naming models, such as 35TFSI and 280TSI, 40TFSI and 380TSI, etc., they essentially use internal engines with the same code name as EA888. So, is it really Volkswagen's re-standard car? And they are more expensive than the masses, which is not the case!
First look, just buy the car Engine, in terms of family cars, the cost of a car engine only accounts for about 20% of the entire vehicle. Although they are all EA888, there are one generation, two generations, three generations, and three and a half generations. They are only developed by Audi and have the same technical concept. Take Magotan and A4, Volkswagen Magotan’s engine uses TSI technology, which is turbocharged direct injection technology, but the Audi A4 engine uses TFSI technology, which is turbocharged direct injection stratified combustion technology. In addition to the difference in stratified combustion technology, the engine also differs in the structure and materials of some parts.
because of poor domestic oil "Volkswagen has cruelly castrated the fuel stratified injection of the TSI engine, and the dual supercharging has also become turbocharged, so many people think that TSI means turbocharged direct injection engine. Audi also abandoned the stratified fuel combustion technology of some models because of "poor oil quality".

Magotan uses a horizontal engine layout, while Audi uses a vertical engine layout. The vertical engine layout allows the engine to be closer to the front axle of the vehicle, the center of gravity of the vehicle is shifted back, and the front and rear weight distribution is closer to 50:50. For handling, the vehicle with the vertical engine layout has more advantages. In addition, the vertical engine layout is also more convenient for matching the rear drive shaft, which is why many sports cars like to use the vertical engine and rear drive.

For example, for the chassis suspension materials, Audi A4L has more applications in aluminum alloy materials than Magotan. These are all cost increases for manufacturers. Of course, they are reflected in consumers.It is the improvement of vehicle performance and quality, and the increase of vehicle purchase cost. It can be said that the extra money spent on the Audi A4L is not in vain. If we only look at the engine when we buy a car, can we say that the Volkswagen Touareg is at the same level as the Volkswagen Tiguan?
90e4# above Beyond these hard powers. Compared with Volkswagen, Audi also has an advantage in soft power. After all, the Audi brand is also a luxury brand in China. The luxury brand brings not only the improvement of comfort and driving experience to car owners, but also the added value brought by the product brand. To give a simple example, driving an Audi A4L with the same price to go on a blind date with a Volkswagen Magotan, others will definitely think that driving an Audi is more expensive. This is the brand's influence. In summary, buying a car depends on all aspects. The engine is only one aspect. After all, whether we drive the engine or not, the extra money for the Audi A4L is not just the money for the four laps of the car.
0a3a3a#0a0#39#0a3a The EA888 engine can be said to be a god-like existence in the engine history, ranging from nearly 600,000 Porsche Macan to more than 100,000 Volkswagen Golf, and Audi, which is firmly in the luxury car camp, uses this engine. After analysis, we found that it is precisely because of Porsche and Audi's tuning technology and higher-end materials than Volkswagen that the value of Audi is truly reflected. Otherwise, consumers would rather buy a Volkswagen for more than 100,000, rather than spend more than 300,000 for a flashy Audi. What do you think for this? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
