What Does Engine Displacement Mean?
1 Answers
Engine displacement is used to describe the size of an engine, specifically referring to the volume of fluid inhaled or exhausted per stroke or per cycle. The displacement of a car is an important parameter for measuring the car's engine. Theoretically, the larger the engine displacement, the greater the power of the car, and the higher the fuel consumption. Engine displacement is mostly expressed in liters (L), and the size of the displacement can be found in the corresponding label at the rear of the car body. Car engines can be divided into naturally aspirated engines and turbocharged engines. Usually, for engines of the same displacement, the power of a turbocharged engine is 1.3 times that of a naturally aspirated engine. The English name for turbocharging is Turbo. If there is Turbo or T at the rear of the car, it indicates that the car is equipped with a turbocharged engine. Turbocharged engines can provide greater power and are more fuel-efficient when driving on highways.
