How much car horsepower is enough

For a small car with a weight of about 1000-1200kg, a naturally aspirated or 1.0T turbocharged engine of about 1.5L will do. For compact cars weighing 1200-1400kg, 1.2T and 1.4T turbocharged engines are sufficient.

　　

Generally speaking, insufficient power means that the acceleration ability of the car cannot reach the top speed when accelerating. If the acceleration time of the car in the same speed range is less than the time required by normal traffic flow, then the power of the car is enough, and the horsepower is also enough. of. Driving on city roads, 100 horsepower is already sufficient. For mid-level and large vehicles with a vehicle weight greater than 1500kg, what is needed is the power of a 2.4L naturally aspirated and 2.0T turbocharged engine. Looking at the power of a car, you need to pay attention to two parameters, one is the power value, and the other is the torque value.
