The range starts with a 1.6 turbo. Replacing the Gamma engine, This Smartstream engine makes two more horsepower, totaling 180. Replacing the 2.4-liter motor is a slightly larger 2.5, making 198 horsepower. While the strength of these engines isn’t much higher, their reliability so far seems to be far superior of their predecessors. Like or Dislike: 2 0.

Ruthenium HX is available in two designs to best maximize the performance of your engine. DFE (double fine electrode) maximizes ignitability, while reducing emissions for low-heat engines. This NGK-patented design is recommended for non-turbo applications. PSPE ® (projected square platinum electrode) provides the Moving up to the £10,000-£12,000 level will get you a better trim, maybe SE, and bring in the option of one of the 2.0-litre engines, and a 2016 or maybe 2017 car. There are a lot of people who’d argue that the smaller 1.6-litre engine 205 GTi is actually the better of the two, but while we’re strictly keeping it under 2.0-litres for this list, we may as well go for the full 1.9-litre with its 130PS (96kW). . The 1.8L and 2.0L engines return decent fuel efficiency numbers at 30-31 and 27-28 combined mpg, respectively. However, competitors in the segment are rated better. Regardless of engine choice, it takes close to 10 seconds to motivate the 2016 Hyundai Elantra from 0 to 60 mph. But the engine size just appeals to the "monkey brain" part of us, thinking simplistic thoughts like "bigger/more is better." I have a 4.2L engine that makes 275 HP, but there are engines these days with better technology that are able to make the same 275HP while also being much smaller. You betcha, in fact some 4-cylinder cars with turbo attain as much power as a V-8 engine, operating well into the 400+ horsepower range in some luxury sport models. More electronic-rich modern engines also require less frequent tune-ups when compared to older engines. Other key engine components, like carburetors, have also been given an electronic-makeover. The mid-range Premium Luxury has a starting MSRP at the time of writing of $49,840 in its standard front-drive format with the 2.0-liter turbo-four engine that develops 235 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. The alternative engine is a 3.6-liter V-6 that puts out 310 horsepower and 271 lb.-ft. of torque that costs $1,000 more.

is 1.6 or 2.0 engine better
