1. Hyundai’s 2.5T inline four-cylinder gasoline engine
Hyundai’s 2.5T inline four-cylinder gasoline engine entered Ward’s top ten list for the first time, and its paper parameters are quite powerful. The maximum power of this engine exceeds 250 horsepower, the maximum torque reaches 422 Nm, and the peak torque range can be reached at 4,000 rpm. It is completely comparable to the in-line six-cylinder gasoline engine of the German series.
2. General Motors 1.3T in-line three-cylinder gasoline engine
The judges who participated in the Ward Top Ten selection selected the 1.3T three-cylinder engine as one of the two traditional internal combustion engines that won the award. , which also releases the trend of increasingly "shorter and more compact" displacement in the process of converting power into new energy sources in the future.
