What does 1.5T engine displacement mean?
2 Answers
1.5T refers to a car's engine displacement of 1.5 liters. Here is more information about engine displacement: 1. Introduction: Displacement (Swept-volume), a specialized term in hydraulic transmission, refers to the volume of fluid inhaled or discharged per stroke or cycle. 2. Calculation: Vst=Vsi=(VstL - displacement, i - number of cylinders, D - cylinder diameter in mm, S - piston stroke). 3. Displacement identification: (1) The first part consists of 2 or 3 pinyin letters, which are the code identifying the manufacturer's name. (2) Following the pinyin letters, there are usually 4 Arabic numerals, where the middle two digits represent the engine displacement of the car model, and the last digit indicates the product sequence number assigned by the manufacturer.
When I first bought my car, I also wondered about this. The car's displacement of 1.5T refers to the engine's capacity of 1.5 liters, with the T standing for turbocharging. Simply put, the engine is smaller but with the addition of a turbocharger, it delivers more power and also saves some fuel. Driving such a car makes starting in the city easier and overtaking on the highway more confident, equivalent to small displacement with high horsepower. I remember my neighbor's small SUV is a 1.5T, with a combined fuel consumption of only around 7 liters, much better than a naturally aspirated 1.5L. Turbocharging is like giving the engine a booster, and modern car manufacturers love this design for its environmental and economic benefits. Just pay a bit more attention to maintenance, as the turbocharger needs regular checks to prevent carbon buildup from affecting performance, but overall it's quite reliable.
