What is the difference between a three-cylinder and a four-cylinder car?
1 Answers
The main differences between three-cylinder and four-cylinder cars lie in the number of cylinders, size, and configuration. Here are the relevant details: 1. Different number of cylinders: A three-cylinder engine has one less cylinder than a four-cylinder engine. 2. Size: A three-cylinder engine is smaller in size compared to a four-cylinder engine. 3. Configuration: Four-cylinder engines are mostly naturally aspirated, while current three-cylinder engines are generally turbocharged to compensate for the disadvantage of smaller displacement and weaker power. The crank connecting rod mechanism of the engine applies very complex variable forces to the crankshaft during operation, causing the engine to vibrate, which is unrelated to the number of engine cylinders.
