What is the difference between longitudinal and transverse engines?

[JesseLynn]

The main differences between longitudinal and transverse engines are as follows: 1. Position: The layout of the engine position is different. 2. Optimal power output direction: Due to the different layouts, the optimal power output direction of the engine varies. 3. Structure: Transverse engines have a simpler structure, lower cost, and can expand the passenger compartment space, while vehicles with longitudinal engines offer higher driving pleasure, better handling, and superior driving feel. 4. Driving experience: Cars with transverse engines have poorer handling and lower driving pleasure. Longitudinal engines may encroach on passenger compartment space and also come with higher costs.
