What is the difference between 1.5t and 2.0t in cars?
1 Answers
The difference between 1.5t and 2.0t in cars lies in the displacement: the displacement of a 1.5t engine is 1.5 liters, while that of a 2.0t engine is 2.0 liters. For the same model, the 2.0t version will have more powerful performance, but it will also consume more fuel. The numbers 1.5 and 2.0 refer to the engine's displacement, which is the total of all cylinders' working volumes, calculated as the volume swept by the piston from top dead center to bottom dead center multiplied by the number of cylinders. The 'T' stands for turbo, short for turbocharging, a technology that uses exhaust gases produced by the internal combustion engine to drive an air compressor.
