What's the Difference Between 1.4T and 1.8L?
1 Answers
T stands for turbocharged engine, while L stands for naturally aspirated engine. The 1.8L naturally aspirated engine has lower maintenance costs in the long run, whereas the 1.4T turbocharged engine offers faster acceleration and more powerful performance. Compared to turbocharged engines, naturally aspirated engines have the following advantages: 1. Naturally aspirated engines have very mature technology and a longer lifespan than most turbocharged engines. Sometimes, even when the car is scrapped, the naturally aspirated engine can still function properly. 2. They offer more linear control, making them easier to handle, and are generally cheaper than turbocharged engines. 3. Due to their mature technology, they are highly reliable, simpler and cheaper to maintain, and have lower requirements for engine oil.
