seconds; its EPA estimated fuel economy rating is 42 mpg US (5.6 Combined with a cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system, the adoption of the Atkinson Cycle offers significant gains in fuel efficiency and the reduction of emissions. As a result, the exhaust temperature is lower than that of conventional engines.

mpg US, 2.8 km/L (94 mpg US, 2.5 A cooled Exhaust-Gas Recirculation (EGR) system improves efficiency in the high-expansion-ratio Atkinson cycle engine. Also contributing to increased engine efficiency is a battery-powered water pump, a friction-reducing beltless design and precise coolant-water-flow volume control.

The 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid ( earlier post ) is EPA-rated at 46 mpg (5.11 The new engine is fitted with an exhaust gas heat recovery (EGHR) system. An integrated exhaust manifold improves packaging, and, in conjunction with the EGHR system and SVCC catalyst, helps to reduce engine warmup time and fuel use during warmup.

For EV drivers, cold temperatures slow down the chemical reactions in battery cells, and because they don't have heat-producing engines, EVs must use additional battery power to warm their cabins (although these can be pre-heated in plugged-in EVs). Electric vehicles are popular in cold climates. Sign up for our newsletter.
