What is the Ideal Torque for a Family Sedan?
1 Answers
For a family sedan, the minimum torque should be above 150N·m, and preferably above 200N·m. It can only be said that the higher the torque, the better. There is no standard or uniform answer to what torque is suitable for a family sedan, as different car owners have varying requirements for vehicle power. Below is additional information: 1. The principle of torque: The torque of an engine refers to the moment output from the crankshaft end. The unit of torque is Newton meters (Nm). Under fixed power conditions, it has an inverse relationship with engine speed—the faster the speed, the smaller the torque, and vice versa. It reflects the vehicle's load capacity within a certain range. 2. The impact of torque: Comparing sedans with the same type of engine, a higher torque output results in greater carrying capacity, better acceleration performance, stronger climbing ability, fewer gear shifts, and relatively less wear on the car. Especially during zero-speed starts, the superiority of higher torque in achieving faster speed increases becomes more evident. In physics, torque refers to the force that causes an object to rotate multiplied by the distance to the axis of rotation, indicating the magnitude of the force output by the engine.
