The engine

EA888

2.0L Turbo I4

VW's EA888 2.0 TSI is the definitive hot-hatch four — punchy, tunable, and torque-rich from low revs, equally at home humming in a Tiguan or screaming in a Golf R.

One of the most widely used and heavily developed engines in the world, the EA888 has powered Volkswagen Group cars across four generations and is a darling of the tuning scene.
