What is the difference between 1.8L and 1.8T?
1 Answers
1.8L and 1.8T have the following differences: 1. The 1.8T engine is a turbocharged engine equipped with a turbocharger, while the 1.8L engine is a naturally aspirated engine, which is a conventional engine. 2. After the turbocharger of the 1.8T engine engages, its maximum power output is significantly higher than that of the 1.8L engine (typically 1.5 times that of a naturally aspirated engine). 3. In terms of long-term maintenance costs, the 1.8L engine is less expensive and generally more reliable in terms of quality. The maintenance costs for 1.8T models are considerably higher, including expenses such as regular servicing, which usually requires 95-octane gasoline and full synthetic oil. Additionally, the turbocharger needs replacement after reaching a certain mileage. Below are some relevant details: 1. Turbocharged (and supercharged) engines are denoted by "T," while standard naturally aspirated engines are denoted by "L." The preceding number represents the engine displacement. Turbocharging is a technology that utilizes exhaust gases from internal combustion engine operation to drive an air compressor. 2. The primary function of turbocharging is to increase the engine's air intake volume, thereby enhancing its power and torque output, making the vehicle more powerful.
