} } </script> <div class="entry"><!-- open entry --> <p>Every year, WardsAuto evaluates automotive powertrains to find the best engines. The 1.8-liter turbocharged DOHC four-cylinder engine of the <a href="https://wardsauto.com/2015/2015-winner-vw-18l-turbocharged-dohc-4-cyl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Volkswagen Golf was ranked as a best four-cylinder engine</a>.</p> <p>To give drivers in the Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, and Newport Beach area an idea of what this engine can do, we had our team at Norm Reeves Volkswagen Superstore in Irvine take a closer look at this performance powerhouse.</p> <h2>About the Volkswagen Golf TSI Engine</h2> <p>Many people think that German engineering is expensive, best suited for high-priced luxury sedans. This isn’t the case with Volkswagen, which provides state-of-the-art performance technology at low consumer costs.</p> <p>Take the 1.8-liter TSI four-cylinder engine of the Volkswagen Golf, for example. A 2014 and 2015 winner of the Best Engine Award, this direct-injected engine is a third-generation EA888, which shares characteristics of the 2.0-liter variations found in the Volkswagen Golf GTI.</p> <p>The 1.8-liter TSI comes as a replacement for the former 2.5-liter I-5, offering a shorter stroke, lighter weight, and 1 less cylinder, all while having the same-size bore. Plus, with direct injection, the 1.8 TSI can produce 200 lb-ft of torque and 170 horsepower.</p> <p>But the Volkswagen Golf isn’t the only model you can find this engine in. The Volkswagen Beetle, Jetta, and Passat all offer the 1.8-liter turbocharged option.</p> <p><i>Engine Specifications</i></p> <ul> <li>Block/head material: cast iron/aluminum</li> <li>Bore x stroke: 82.5 x 84.1 mm</li> <li>Compression ratio: 9.6:1</li> <li>Displacement: 1,798 cc</li> <li>Horsepower (SAE net): 170 @ 4,500 rpm</li> <li>Specific output: 94 hp/L</li> <li>Torque: 200 lb-ft (270 Nm) @ 1,600 rpm</li> </ul> <h2>Which Model Is Right for You?</h2> <p>Found in four unique Volkswagen models, choosing the best fit for your TSI engine could be the toughest decision that drivers have to make. To give you a hand, here’s a brief description of what each model has to offer. For more info, be sure to check out our free Volkswagen vehicle reviews.</p> <p><b>2015 Volkswagen Golf:</b>This hatchback offers exceptional cargo space and a top-notch interior. The redesign for the 2015 model year gives the VW Golf a stylish and updated look to add to its nimble handling and refined performance.</p> <p><b>2015 Volkswagen Beetle:</b> Iconic and distinctive, the Volkswagen Beetle receives a welcomed performance boost from the 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine.</p> <p><b>2015 Volkswagen Jetta:</b> With a powerful engine, spacious back seat and trunk, and composed handling, the 2015 VW Jetta sure does have a lot to offer. It’s no wonder why it continues to be one of the most popular Volkswagen models on the market.</p> <p><b>2015 Volkswagen Passat:</b> Get behind the wheel of a 2015 VW Passat and you’ll quickly discover its quick acceleration from the turbocharged base engine. This comes as an added bonus to the sedan’s roomy back seat and spacious trunk.</p> <h2>Take the Best 4-Cylinder Engine for a Spin</h2> <p>Reading about the best four-cylinder engine is one thing. Driving it is another. If you’re in the Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, or Newport Beach area, you can schedule a test drive with any of these vehicles at Norm Reeves Volkswagen Superstore in Irvine.
