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

The displacement of an engine is the total volume of all of the cylinders in the engine. Measured in cubic centimetres (cc)

Power dictates the performance of an engine. It's measured in horsepower (bhp) or metric horsepower (PS). More is better.

The load-carrying ability of an engine, measured in Newton-metres (Nm) or pound-foot (lb-ft). More is better.

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.

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.

Responsible for delivering fuel from the fuel tank into your internal combustion engine (ICE). More sophisticated systems give you better mileage.

The component containing a set of gears that supply power from the engine to the wheels. It affects speed and fuel efficiency.

Specifies which wheels are driven by the engine's power, such as front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive. It affects how the car handles and also its capabilities.

The total amount of fuel the car's tank can hold. It tells you how far the car can travel before needing a refill.

Indicates the level of pollutants the car's engine emits, showing compliance with environmental regulations.

The maximum speed a car can be driven at. It indicates its performance capability.

The mechanism by which the car's steering operates, such as manual, power-assisted, or electric. It affecting driving ease.

The rate at which the car can increase its speed from a standstill. It is a key performance indicator.

The rate at which the car can increase its speed from a standstill. It is a key performance indicator.

The distance from a car's front tip to the farthest point in the back.

The width of a car is the horizontal distance between the two outermost points of the car, typically measured at the widest point of the car, such as the wheel wells or the rearview mirrors

The height of a car is the vertical distance between the ground and the highest point of the car. It can decide how much space a car has along with it's body type and is also critical in determining it's ability to fit in smaller garages or parking spaces

The maximum number of people that can legally and comfortably sit in a car.

Distance between the centre of the front and rear wheels. Affects the car’s stability & handling .

The distance from the centre of the left tyre to the centre of the right tyre of a four-wheeler's front wheels. Also known as front track. The relation between the front and rear tread/track numbers decides a cars stability.

The distance from the centre of the left tyre to the centre of the right tyre of a fourwheeler's rear wheels. Also known as Rear Track. The relation between the front and rear Tread/Track numbers dictates a cars stability

Weight of the car without passengers or cargo. Affects performance, fuel efficiency, and suspension behaviour.

The gross weight of a car is the maximum weight that a car can carry which includes the weight of the car itself, the weight of the passengers, and the weight of any cargo that is being carried. Overloading a car is unsafe as it effects handling and could also damage components like the suspension.

Vertical space in the rear of a car from the seat to the roof. More rear headroom means taller passengers have ample space above their heads, enhancing comfort.

Rear legroom in a car is the distance between the front seat backrests and the rear seat backrests. The more legroom the more comfortable the seats.

Vertical space in the front of a car from the seat to the roof. More headroom means more space for the front passenger and driver.

The distance from the front footwell to the base of the front seatback. More leg room means more comfort for front passengers

The total number of doors in the car, including the boot if it's considered a door. It affects access and convenience.

The diameter of the car's alloy wheels. Alloy wheels are lighter and better looking than standard wheels, not including tyres.

The dimensions of the car's tyres indicating their width, height, and diameter. Important for grip and performance.

Tells you the kind of tyres fitted to the car, such as all-season, summer, or winter. It affects grip and performance in different conditions.
