The engine usually used in passenger vehicles

The engine usually used in passenger vehicles is the internal combustion engine (ICE), specifically:

1. Gasoline (Petrol) Engines

Most common in passenger cars.

Operate using spark ignition.

Typically inline-4 cylinder or V6 configurations.

2. Diesel Engines

More common in trucks, SUVs, and commercial vehicles, though some passenger cars use them—especially in Europe.

Operate using compression ignition.

Known for better fuel efficiency and torque.

3. Hybrid Engines

Combine a gasoline engine with an electric motor.

Found in hybrid vehicles like the Toyota Prius.

Improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.

4. Electric Motors (EVs)

In fully electric vehicles (like Tesla or Nissan Leaf).

Use electric motors powered by rechargeable batteries.

No internal combustion involved.

In summary: The gasoline internal combustion engine is the most commonly used engine in traditional passenger vehicles, but hybrid and electric powertrains are becoming increasingly common.
