3-cylinder engine
A 3-cylinder engine is a type of internal combustion engine with three separate cylinders where fuel is burned to generate power. Each cylinder contains a piston that moves up and down, converting fuel's combustion energy into rotational force to turn the vehicle’s wheels. Having fewer cylinders generally makes the engine more compact, lightweight, and fuel-efficient, though it may produce less power than larger engines. Modern 3-cylinder engines are often used in smaller cars, still providing a good balance of performance and efficiency. They employ advanced technology to smooth out operation despite fewer cylinders, ensuring a comfortable and reliable driving experience.
