What is Chevy’s latest engine?

For the motor to provide turbo boost in their popular trucks, Chevrolet used their brightest engineers and they rose brilliantly for meeting the task, and returned with 2.7L engine which was designed particularly to deliver power and also fuel efficiency, without much addition of extra weight to vehicle which carries it.

The latest technology is now offering an amazing power in this smaller packages, new inline 4-cylinder engine which replaces 4.3L V6 for RST trim level, that will generate 310 HP and torque of 348 lb.-ft.

This 2019 new inline 4-cylinder engine of Silverado also weighs about 380 pounds lighter than previously offered V6.

Generally, in trucks people think that big things will come in bigger packages, but the new design proves that in pickup world, even big things can come in smaller packages too. This I-4 is smaller, lighter and still can provide enough energy for conquering enormous tasks.

How any engine can be smaller and also better?

As the engine has used turbo charged technology, hence it will get much more power, performance, and also fuel economy which is not possible otherwise.

For truck drivers, the fuel efficiency is especially important who will be otherwise inclined in pursuing the biggest engine that is available.

Analyst too observed that just a single test drive will able to convince any driver that turbo I-4 engine can outperform the V6 competitors.

I-4 vs V6 engines

The reason of calling it as a V6 engine is that because all the cylinders are so arranged that it forms the shape of the letter “V”. When they will be churning, this will create a kind of rotating motion, which will create a certain movement which will be counterproductive to forward motion of vehicle itself.

Such kind of inefficiency that exists in V6 engine has been corrected in the I-4 engine, where the letter “I” stands for actually, “inline.”

Such types of engines can be arranged in such a way that all cylinders will be firing in the similar direction, and thus will eliminate the counterproductive rotations present in any V engine.

This kind of improved design will allow you to have smooth as well as rapid acceleration, which will be further enhanced by few of the various other features that are present in this new Chevrolet RST engine.
