What are the advantages of a six-cylinder engine over a four-cylinder engine?

[LawsonLee]

Six-cylinder engines have less vibration and offer better operational quality. The differences between four-cylinder and six-cylinder engines are as follows: 1. Different number of cylinders: A six-cylinder engine has six cylinders; a four-cylinder engine has four cylinders. 2. Different ignition intervals: The firing order for a six-cylinder engine is 1, 5, 3, 6, 2, 4, with an ignition interval of 60 degrees; the firing order for a four-cylinder engine is 1, 3, 4, 2, with an ignition interval of 180 degrees. 3. Different number of intake or exhaust manifolds: A six-cylinder engine has six intake or exhaust manifolds; a four-cylinder engine has four. 4. Different structure: Six-cylinder engines have a more complex structure, larger size, greater weight, and more complex layout. Four-cylinder engines are relatively simpler, with one less cylinder. Structurally, six-cylinder engines have one more cylinder than four-cylinder engines, and accordingly, they also have more camshaft accessories.
