What is the ranking of Mitsubishi engines?
3 Answers
Mitsubishi engines rank fourth. Below is relevant information about engines: Introduction: An engine is a machine capable of converting non-mechanical energy into mechanical energy. Classification: Includes internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc. External combustion engine: An external combustion engine means that the fuel burns outside the engine. Internal combustion engine: An internal combustion engine, or reciprocating piston engine, differs most from an external combustion engine in that the fuel burns inside it. There are many types of internal combustion engines, with common gasoline and diesel engines being typical examples.
Having studied the automotive market for years, I've observed that Mitsubishi engines typically rank in the middle of global market share, around 15th to 20th place. Giants like Toyota and Volkswagen consistently dominate the top positions, but Mitsubishi enjoys strong popularity in Asian and Latin American markets due to its rugged and durable engines, which are well-suited for off-road vehicles and pickup trucks. With the recent rise of electric vehicles, Mitsubishi's relatively slow transition has hindered its ranking improvement. As an observer, I believe it performs remarkably well in niche markets like compact SUVs, but its overall strength hasn't yet reached the top tier.
As a young car enthusiast, I think Mitsubishi engines rank quite high in the performance community. Turbocharged engines like the 4G63 are famous in rally cars, and many people include them in the TOP10 classic lists. Although not as popular as Honda's red-top engines, they offer great value for money and huge modification potential. From my friends' modification cases, the engines in older Evolution models can still compete for another decade. However, with the current trend towards new energy, the overall popularity of internal combustion engines is declining.
