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.

Valve configuration refers to the number and arrangement of intake and exhaust valves in each engine cylinder.

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

A device that forces more air into an internal combustion engine. More air can burn more fuel and make more power. Turbochargers utilise exhaust gas energy to make more power.

A device that forces more air into an internal combustion engine. More air can burn more fuel and make more power. Superchargers utilise engine power to make more power.

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