Which Car Has the Smallest Engine Displacement?
1 Answers
The smallest displacement engine belongs to the 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine equipped in the Mercedes-Benz Smart Fortwo, with an output of 70 horsepower. It performs quite well compared to its fuel efficiency rating of 34/38 miles per gallon. Like some models on the ranking list, this engine requires premium fuel. Chevrolet Spark: A brand-new urban vehicle, the Chevrolet Spark's engine is even smaller than the iQ and Insight. The new EcoTec 1.2-liter engine delivers 83 horsepower and, when paired with a five-speed manual transmission, earns a fuel efficiency rating of 32/38 miles per gallon from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Toyota Scion iQ: It features a 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine producing 94 horsepower and 89 lb-ft of torque. This powerful yet fuel-efficient engine gives the iQ a fuel efficiency rating of 36/37 miles per gallon from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Although its engine is not the smallest in the super-compact car market, it is the most fuel-efficient.
