What does Elysee 16V mean?

[LaJayla]

Elysee 16V refers to the engine being a 16-valve model, equipped with a 16V engine. Here's an introduction about valves: 1. 'V' is the abbreviation for valve. 8V means two valves per cylinder - one intake valve and one exhaust valve, totaling 8 valves for 4 cylinders, hence 8V - this is the traditional engine design. 2. Similarly, 16V means 4 valves per cylinder (typically 2 intake and 2 exhaust valves, or sometimes 3 intake and 1 exhaust), totaling 16 valves for 4 cylinders - this is a multi-valve engine. 3. The 8V design has relatively simpler structure, lower cost, easier maintenance, and better low-speed performance, making it suitable for urban driving. 4. The advantages of 16V engines become fully apparent at high RPMs, allowing more complete fuel combustion, reducing fuel consumption, and increasing power output.
