Which is more fuel-efficient, 1.5T or 1.6L?

[VeraAnn]

1.6L is more fuel-efficient than 1.5T. There are two main reasons why 1.6L is more fuel-efficient. Output Power: It is not necessarily true that a car with a smaller displacement is more fuel-efficient than one with a larger displacement. Fuel efficiency is primarily determined by the car's output power (essentially, the fuel injection volume). The 1.5T turbocharged engine has a higher power output than the 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, so under normal conditions, the 1.5T will consume more fuel (assuming the turbo is engaged). In China, road conditions generally allow the turbo to engage. Naturally Aspirated Engine Power: The maximum power of a 1.6L engine typically ranges from 83-93 kW, while the 1.5T engine's maximum power ranges from 100-132 kW. Moreover, in China, most cars are driven at speeds above 40 km/h, which means the turbo is engaged. Therefore, when comparing the fuel consumption of 1.6L and 1.5T cars, the 1.5T, with its higher power output compared to the 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, will consume more fuel during driving.
