What is the displacement of a 1.5L engine?
1 Answers
1.5L refers to a naturally aspirated engine with a displacement of 1.5 liters. The 'T' commonly mentioned in cars indicates vehicles equipped with turbocharged engines. For engines of the same displacement, turbocharged engines accelerate faster and have higher maximum horsepower, peak torque, and higher RPM limits. The power output of a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine is roughly equivalent to that of a 1.0 to 1.2L turbocharged engine when turbocharging is involved. Before the turbo kicks in, the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine delivers stronger power. Turbocharged engines only reach their maximum power output after the turbo engages.
