That has already been in the past. Chevrolet customers in the United States have realized that vilified 4-pot (Ie, four-cylinder) can make the same service and with greater fuel economy. In 2007 only 23% of its sales were four cylindersLess percentage of V6 and V8 separately.
So far this year, the brand has constatato a big change of mentality, because almost half of the cars sold have four cylinders. The smallest they sell is a 150 bhp 1.4 Turbo, with what he likes so much to Americans: good torque (Maximum torque). But nearly everything sold in L4 is atmospheric.
The old V8 engine customers have come to the V6, and in turn, the V6 to L4. When they started doing other eligible for the European taste is when they started to sell well, leaving behind outdated and proven technologies while. Downsizing, Turbos, direct injection, variable valve timing, etc..
Outside the U.S. box is that what is sold in the brand is L4Especially in Europe, where only Chevrolet Captiva offers the option of using a V6. No one could understand this trend instantly U.S. if we look at historical prices of a gallon of gasoline.
Just look at the great progression of L4 since 2007, but that has changed rapidly in 2010 and 2011 so far this year. In American sizing, which exceeds 30 miles per gallon to above is considered a good consumer. That equates to 7.83 l/100 km, Even though the law does not equal approval.
Gradually, the Americans are seeing the light, you do not have very bad relations with other big horsepower per liter to have good torque and durability in turn have to deal with its huge distances. Eye, also affects the supply of L4 is longer than a few years ago, which works to sell more.
