Overview
There are four cylinders in the engine. That means there are four pistons, four fuel injectors, and four cylinders powering the car. The internal combustion process that has powered cars for over a century activates inside the cylinders. 4-cylinder engines tend to be fuel-efficient and are a great buy if you are looking for a small and reliable car. The four-cylinder is easier to manoeuvre and park. These engines have less of an impact on your carbon footprint than a 6-cylinder engine.
