What ICEs are most widely used
According to the results of a vote posted on one of the popular automotive forums, the most popular among Russian motorists were the versions of the Skoda Kodiak, equipped with 2-liter diesel engines with a capacity of 150 horsepower.
The choice of motorists is quite predictable:
- the consumption of diesel “engines” for 2 liters of DFGA is up to 7,2 liters per 100 kilometers, which is quite economical compared to 2-liter gasoline engines (CZPA), which have a consumption of up to 9,4;
- a car with a 2-liter diesel version of the engine, although it accelerates to “hundreds” slowly, is still cheaper to maintain than gasoline counterparts;
- Kodiaks with a 2-liter diesel engine have a capacity of 150 horsepower, which means that for cars equipped with such an internal combustion engine, you will have to pay less transport tax compared to versions with 180 liters. With.
The rest of the distribution of popularity is as follows:
- in second place are gasoline “engines” of 2 liters and with a capacity of 180 horsepower;
- on the third - 1,4-liter gasoline units with 150 hp. With.
The least widespread modifications of the Kodiak with manual transmission, equipped with a 150-horsepower 1,4-liter gasoline internal combustion engine.
Which engine is better to choose a car
The answer to the question presented depends on the specific parameters taken as a criterion for evaluation.
So, if a motorist is interested in increased fuel economy, then you should look at the Skoda Kodiaq, equipped with a robotic gearbox, all-wheel drive and a 2-liter diesel engine with 150 horsepower (DFGA). The minimum consumption with this choice will be only 5,7 liters per 100 kilometers traveled.
If the car owner is interested in reducing the cost of paying transport tax, then you need to consider purchasing a Kodiak with a manual gearbox equipped with a 1,4-liter CZCA gasoline engine. This is the smallest engine of those that are put on the Kodiaq. In addition, mandatory OSAGO insurance will also be cheaper, the cost of which rises in direct proportion to the increase in engine power.
If acceleration to 100 km / h is an important parameter for a car enthusiast, then a 2-liter gasoline engine (CZPA) should be selected. It noticeably wins in comparison with other engines and provides acceleration to “weave” in 8 seconds.
As for the price factor, it is obvious that the most profitable choice will be the choice of a car with a “engine” running on gasoline and having 125 horsepower. The most expensive variation is a 2-liter gasoline engine with 180 hp. With. "under the hood". A diesel engine version with the same volume, but with a capacity of 150 hp, will cost several tens of thousands cheaper. With.
Finally, if there is a question of environmental friendliness, then the “cleanest” is a gasoline “engine” with a volume of 1,4 liters per 150 liters. with., which emits only 108 grams of carbon dioxide per 1 kilometer of the way.
