What does 1.6L mean?

Engine 1.6L means that the car's displacement is 1.6 liters, where L stands for liter. Car displacement is an important parameter for measuring a vehicle, and the displacement is usually marked on the body or rear of the car. Car displacement refers to the volume of fluid inhaled or expelled per cycle. Displacement consists of three parts: the first part is composed of 2 or 3 pinyin letters, which serve as the code to identify the manufacturer. Following the pinyin letters are usually 4 Arabic numerals. For sedans, the first digit on the left is "7", and the middle two digits represent the engine displacement of that model. For example, "08" indicates an engine displacement of 0.8 liters, and "2.0" indicates 2.0 liters. After the displacement number, there is another digit representing the manufacturer's self-defined product sequence number. The classification of sedan levels is determined by the size of the displacement. Mini sedans have a displacement of ≤1.0L; compact sedans have a displacement ranging from 1.0 to 1.6L; mid-size sedans range from 1.6 to 2.5L; executive sedans range from 2.5 to 4.0L; and luxury sedans have a displacement greater than 4.0L.
