Engines are as various and diverse as the cars that they power, and when you visit our Chevy dealership you’re bound to find quite the selection. That said when some of our customers visit Heartland Chevrolet of Liberty, MO, they’re sometimes unsure what kind of engine would fit their needs and lifestyle; fortunately, we hope this blog points you in the right direction.
There are many different engine types, but for the sake of simplicity, we’ll focus on the three most common kinds defined by cylinder count: four-cylinder, V6, and V8 engines. Some of the other types out there include three-cylinders, supercharged engines, and even hybrid powertrains, but they tend to follow the same format as these main three types.
A four-cylinder engine is powered by far fewer cylinders than a V8 engine, and each additional cylinder in an engine provides more power but requires more fuel; it’s that simple. This reduction of fuel efficiency can be a big drawback for some drivers. So, say for instance you’re choosing between the four-cylinder Chevy Cruze and a Chevy Silverado 1500 with a roaring V6, you have to ask yourself, what do I prioritize the most, fuel economy or power? The answer isn’t always clear, which is why our Chevy parts and retail experts can help fill you in on all the details.
There are many Chevrolet dealerships scattered throughout the Liberty area, but none are as dedicated to customer satisfaction as we are at Heartland Chevrolet. Between our slew of auto services and our wide selection of vehicles, there is a reason why we’re considered the best of the best.
