Frequently Asked Questions
What is engine displacement?▼
Engine displacement is the total volume swept by all pistons inside the engine cylinders — essentially how much air-fuel mixture the engine can process per revolution. It's a rough proxy for power potential: larger displacement generally means more power, though modern turbocharged small engines can outperform naturally-aspirated larger ones. A 2.0L engine has 2,000cc (2 liters) of total swept cylinder volume.
Why are some engines described in liters and others in cubic inches?▼
It's a regional convention. European and Japanese manufacturers (and most modern spec sheets) use liters. American muscle cars and classic US engines traditionally use cubic inches — that's why you'll see a 'small block 350' (350 cubic inches = 5.7L) or a '302' (302 ci = 5.0L). Motorcycles and small engines often specify in cc (cubic centimeters). 1 liter = 1000cc = 61.02 cubic inches.
