What are the differences between 1.6L and 1.8L engine displacements?
2 Answers
The differences between 1.6L and 1.8L engine displacements are as follows: different engines, different maximum torque, and different maximum horsepower. Below are the relevant details about the differences between 1.6L and 1.8L engine displacements: 1. Different engines: (1) 1.6L displacement: 1.6L 74kW naturally aspirated engine. (2) 1.8L displacement: 1.8L 110kW naturally aspirated engine. 2. Different maximum torque: (1) 1.6L displacement: maximum torque (N.m) 145/3800. (2) 1.8L displacement: maximum torque (N.m) 220/2000. 3. Different maximum horsepower: (1) 1.6L displacement: 120 horsepower. (2) 1.8L displacement: 150 horsepower.
Having driven for over a decade, the difference in driving feel between 1.6L and 1.8L displacements is quite noticeable. The 1.6L engine is super fuel-efficient in the city, averaging about 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers, with smooth and prompt starts, easily handling stop-and-go traffic at red lights. However, it struggles on highways, especially when fully loaded or climbing hills, requiring a heavy foot on the gas pedal for overtaking. On the other hand, the 1.8L offers more power, with fuel consumption around 8.5-9 liters per 100 kilometers. On highways, the power is readily available, making overtaking more confident and handling mountainous roads with ease. Maintenance costs for both are similar, but the 1.8L is initially more expensive by a few thousand yuan. In the long run, it consumes more fuel, making it suitable for those who frequently travel long distances. I believe the choice depends on lifestyle: the 1.6L is economical for commuters, while the 1.8L is more exciting for travel enthusiasts.
