What do T and L mean in cars?

[StAlexis]

L stands for naturally aspirated, while T stands for turbocharged. The comparison between the advantages and disadvantages of T and L is as follows: 1. A turbocharged engine is essentially a naturally aspirated engine equipped with a turbocharger to increase the engine's air intake, thereby enhancing its output power and torque. Taking the most common 1.8T turbocharged engine as an example, after turbocharging, its power can reach the level of a 2.4L engine. 2. Although turbocharged engines are more fuel-efficient and produce lower levels of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and particulates in emissions, their lifespan is shorter compared to naturally aspirated engines of the same displacement. 3. Naturally aspirated engines deliver more linear and smoother power output.
