Engine & Performance

The heart of the Transporter T6 Kombi Doka Plus 2.0 TDI (204 Hp) 4MOTION L1H1 is the EA288 series 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder diesel engine. This engine, designated CXEB, produces 204 horsepower at 4000 rpm and a substantial 450 Nm (331.9 lb.-ft.) of torque between 1400 and 2400 rpm. The BiTurbo configuration, coupled with an intercooler, enhances both power delivery and efficiency. The engine features a diesel commonrail fuel injection system and a Double Overhead Camshaft (DOHC) valvetrain with four valves per cylinder. This combination results in a power-to-liter ratio of 103.7 hp/l. Power is delivered to all four wheels via a six-speed manual transmission and Volkswagen’s 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system, which provides enhanced traction and stability in various driving conditions. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) takes 8.8 seconds, and 0-60 mph is achieved in approximately 8.4 seconds. The vehicle boasts a maximum speed of 199 km/h (123.65 mph). The inclusion of a Start & Stop system and a particulate filter demonstrates Volkswagen’s commitment to reducing emissions, meeting Euro 6 standards with CO2 emissions ranging from 174-185 g/km.
