Engine Type Engine type in car refers to the type of engine that powers the vehicle. There are many different types of car engines, but the most common are petrol (gasoline) and diesel engines	Hybrid Engine	Diesel Engine
Displacement (cc) The displacement of an engine is the total volume of all of the cylinders in the engine. Measured in cubic centimetres (cc)	1499	1496
No. of Cylinders ICE engines have one or more cylinders. More cylinders typically mean more smoothness and more power, but it also means more moving parts and less fuel efficiency.	33 Cylinder Cars	33 Cylinder Cars
Max Power (bhp@rpm) Power dictates the performance of an engine. It's measured in horsepower (bhp) or metric horsepower (PS). More is better.	228bhp@5800rpm	113.98bhp@4000rpm
Max Torque (nm@rpm) The load-carrying ability of an engine, measured in Newton-metres (Nm) or pound-foot (lb-ft). More is better.	320Nm@3700rpm	270Nm@1750rpm
Valves Per Cylinder The number of intake and exhaust valves in each engine cylinder. More valves per cylinder means better engine breathing and better performance but it also adds to cost.	4	4
Valve Configuration Valve configuration refers to the number and arrangement of intake and exhaust valves in each engine cylinder.	DOHC
Fuel Supply System Responsible for delivering fuel from the fuel tank into your internal combustion engine (ICE). More sophisticated systems give you better mileage.	MPFI	MPFI
