As the Spring Festival approached, a sudden heavy snow swept through many places, bringing a lot of challenges to people returning home. On the highway, vehicles are congested, and some vehicles are even trapped for hours, which becomes a vivid portrayal of this ice and snow test. However, in this "battle" without gunpowder, an unexpected phenomenon has attracted people's attention: the difference in engine performance between German and Japanese cars has become a key factor affecting the performance of the vehicle.
As we all know, Japanese cars generally use naturally aspirated engines, while German cars prefer turbocharged engines. Both engines have their own merits, with naturally aspirated engines known for their smoothness and economy, while turbocharged engines are characterized by their power and rapid acceleration. In everyday driving, turbocharged models can often show their powerful power performance on the highway, overtaking and accelerating with ease. However, in the case of snow and ice, slippery roads, these advantages seem to become less obvious.
According to many car owners, in the congested low-speed driving, some German turbocharged models have obvious frustration, the throttle response has become sluggish, and sometimes even need to increase the throttle to maintain the speed. This not only affects the comfort of driving, but also increases fuel consumption. In contrast, Japanese cars with naturally aspirated engines are more stable at low speeds, with a light throttle response and a lower engine speed at idle, generally below 1000r min, which also makes fuel consumption more economical.
Take Mr. Zhang's Nissan Sylphy, for example, which is equipped with a naturally aspirated engine and showed good stability in this heavy snowfall. He said that although the acceleration is not as fast as some German cars, on slippery roads, the Sylphy is able to maintain a smooth ride at low speeds, which is essential to avoid skidding and keep the car safe. At the same time, Mr. Zhang also mentioned that the fuel consumption performance of the naturally aspirated engine is significantly more economical, which is undoubtedly a big advantage for car owners who drive long distances.
The heavy snow not only tested the performance of the vehicles, but also made people re-examine the differences in engine technology between German and Japanese cars. In congestion or bad weather, the stability and economy of the vehicle are particularly important. And in this regard, the naturally aspirated engines of Japanese cars seem to be superior. Of course, this does not mean that German cars do not have advantages in other areas, and the advantages of turbocharging technology in high-speed driving and acceleration performance are still obvious.
For consumers, choosing which type of engine is more suitable for them needs to consider many factors, including driving habits, car environment, budget, and so on. The heavy snow undoubtedly provided us with a rare opportunity to compare and understand more deeply how different engine technologies perform in different scenarios.
As the Spring Festival approaches, I hope that all trapped car owners can go home safely and reunite with their families. At the same time, it is also expected that automobile manufacturers can pay more attention to the performance of vehicles in bad weather and complex road conditions in the future technology research and development, so as to provide a safer and more comfortable driving experience for the majority of car owners.
