Honda 5 Cylinder Engine


For passenger car engine, we are familiar with the design of 3 cylinder, 4 cylinder and even 6 cylinder type of engine, it is rarely can find a design of 5 cylinder engine under the Japanese car engine technologies, but it does not mean they did not have it, Honda G20A and G25A type of engine in their Acura, Inspire and Vigor range of model is one of the best example.

Strangely other than this type of design, it is really hard to search which type of engine is using 5 cylinder design in Japanese vehicle range, unless we go for the continental type of vehicle, which you may still can find 5 cylinder design in such as Mercedes Benz MB602 or in Ssanyong engine which is derive from Mercedes Benz engine as well.
