What is the difference between 1.5T and 1.6L?
1 Answers
The differences between the two displacements are as follows: Meaning of 1.6L: The 1.6L is a naturally aspirated engine. Natural aspiration is a method of air intake in automobiles, where atmospheric pressure forces air into the combustion chamber without the use of any supercharger. Modern engines can be divided into naturally aspirated and forced induction types, with forced induction further categorized into mechanical supercharging, turbocharging, and the latest pressure wave supercharging. Meaning of 1.5T: The 1.5T is a turbocharged engine. A turbocharged engine refers to an engine equipped with a turbocharger. A turbocharger is essentially an air compressor that increases the intake air volume by compressing air. It utilizes the inertial force of the exhaust gases from the engine to drive the turbine in the turbine chamber, which in turn drives the coaxial impeller. The impeller then pressurizes the air delivered through the air filter pipe, forcing it into the cylinders.
