What is the difference between turbocharged and naturally aspirated engines?

[SanOlivia]

The differences between turbocharged and naturally aspirated engines lie in power, maintenance, fuel consumption, and manufacturing costs. Specific details are as follows: Power: Under the same displacement, turbocharged engines provide stronger power than naturally aspirated ones. Maintenance: The stronger power of turbocharged engines may lead to faster degradation in performance and reliability compared to naturally aspirated engines, resulting in higher maintenance costs in the long run. Fuel Consumption: In terms of fuel consumption, with the same displacement, turbocharged engines perform worse than naturally aspirated ones in urban driving conditions. However, they are more fuel-efficient on highways. Manufacturing Costs: Turbochargers are an additional component, and due to their high-temperature and high-pressure working environment, the material requirements and high-precision manufacturing processes make turbocharged engines more expensive than naturally aspirated ones.
