How many cylinders does the Honda Envix engine have?

Honda Envix engine has three cylinders. Here is the extended content: Lifespan of three-cylinder and four-cylinder engines: Regarding the lifespan issue, it needs to be clarified that the crankshaft connecting rod mechanism of an engine applies very complex variable forces to the crankshaft during operation, causing the engine to vibrate. This has nothing to do with how many cylinders the engine has. However, the inline four-cylinder engine, because cylinders 1 and 4, and cylinders 2 and 3 move up and down together, to some extent suppresses this vibration, but it still exists. Therefore, four-cylinder engines also incorporate balance shafts. The three cylinders of a three-cylinder engine cannot move up and down together, so the vibration cannot be suppressed and can only be directly countered with balance shafts. Moreover, if you have actually test-driven a three-cylinder car, without being told it's a three-cylinder, you wouldn't notice it's a three-cylinder because you really wouldn't feel particularly obvious vibrations. At most, it shakes a bit more at the moment of startup. Therefore, three-cylinder engines can last as long as the car itself, just like four-cylinder engines. Power comparison between three-cylinder and four-cylinder engines: If comparing power, then four-cylinder engines have to give way to three-cylinder engines, because four-cylinder models have a wider range of applications, while three-cylinder engines are usually used in low-end cars. Moreover, it's only fair to compare three-cylinder engines with turbocharged (T) four-cylinder engines. Otherwise, with one less cylinder, a turbocharged three-cylinder engine would definitely be no match for a turbocharged four-cylinder engine.
I've been driving the Honda Envix for a long time, and this car runs quite smoothly in the city. The engine is a three-cylinder, 1.0-liter turbocharged one. To be honest, when I first bought it, I was worried about the vibration of the three-cylinder engine, but after driving it, I found that Honda's tuning is pretty good. It has strong starting power and is fuel-efficient, consuming just over 5 liters per 100 kilometers. The only downside is that the engine noise is a bit loud at high speeds, but it's really great in traffic jams. The cabin is quiet when stopped at red lights. Maintenance is cheap, oil changes are simple, and compared to four-cylinder cars, it has one less cylinder, making parts easier to find. Mechanics all praise it for being easy to maintain.
