Is More Torque Always Better?

[McGiselle]

It depends on specific circumstances. Here are relevant explanations about torque: 1. When comparing vehicles with the same type of engine, greater torque output means greater load capacity, better acceleration performance, stronger climbing ability, fewer gear shifts, and relatively reduced wear on the vehicle. Especially during zero-speed starts, vehicles with higher torque demonstrate superior speed increase advantages. 2. Like power, torque is one of the main indicators of a car engine, reflecting vehicle performance including acceleration and climbing ability. Its precise definition is the cross product of position vector (L) and force (F) (M), which in physics refers to the force that rotates an object multiplied by the distance to the axis of rotation. It can represent the magnitude of the force output by the engine (since the radius of the crankshaft in the engine is fixed). In simpler terms, torque is an important standard for measuring the quality of a car engine, and the torque of a vehicle is directly proportional to the power of the engine.
