What Does 197 Horsepower Mean?

[LaEli]

197 horsepower refers to the power of a car's engine. Horsepower is an older unit of measurement, and the international unit "kilowatt" is now commonly used. Here is more information: 1. Whether higher power is better: Generally, it is believed that for the same displacement, higher power is better. Some manufacturers use advanced technologies such as intake valve stroke control, EGR, and 5-valve systems, which inevitably increase power but also raise engine costs. 2. The engine selected by manufacturers for a particular model is actually a balance between performance, fuel economy, emissions, and cost, rather than just higher power and torque. Sometimes, to reduce costs, manufacturers may even sacrifice the option of a more powerful engine. 3. Higher engine power inevitably leads to increased fuel consumption and higher emissions. For consumers and the environment, blindly pursuing horsepower or power is not advisable.
