WardsAutohas announced the annual Wards 10 Best Engines & Propulsion Systems winners for 2023, with many of them being electrified.
Wards editors and analysts evaluated 32 vehicles: 13 ICEs, 10 BEVs and nine hybrids. The hybrid count included five plug-in hybrids and four hybrids.
Of the purely internal-combustion engines tested, there were five 4-cyl. engines, four 6-cyl. engines (all inline), three V-8s and one 3-cyl. engine. All the ICEs, except two of the V-8s were turbocharged.
The Wards 10 Best Engines & Propulsion Systems list has recognized 29 years' worth of propulsion systems, with scoring based on horsepower, torque, NVH management, observed efficiency and new technology onboard. Only powertrains that are all-new or significantly improved are eligible for testing.
A price cap for nominees that had been in place since 1995 was removed in 2021; value remains part of the criteria, however. |
