What Does Car Displacement Represent?

[ManuelLee]

Car displacement refers to the volume of fluid inhaled or discharged per stroke or cycle. Generally, the larger the displacement, the higher the technical requirements for the engine and the greater the output power. Cars with higher power are faster (for cars of the same weight), and within the same series, cars with larger displacements generally have higher configurations. Engine displacement is one of the important structural parameters of a car, more representative of engine size than cylinder diameter and number. Many indicators of the engine are related to displacement. Typically, a larger displacement means the engine releases more energy per unit time (converting the chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy), resulting in better dynamic performance.
