Four Cylinder Engines

• Several of Chevy's smaller vehicles use efficient inline-4 cylinder engines. The Ecotec LE5 is used in the Malibu and produces 169 horsepower and 162 ft. lbs. of torque. The LE5 has displacement of 2.4 liters, a bore and stroke of 88 mm by 98 mm, and a compression ratio of 10.4:1. Chevy also produces a turbocharged Ecotec 4 cylinder engine known as the LNF. It features direct injection and has a 2.0 liter displacement. The LNF also has a square bore and stroke of 86 mm and delivers a maximum of 260 horsepower.
  
  

Six Cylinder Engines

• Many of Chevy's larger vehicles feature V6 engines. The 3.6 liter LY7 V6 is used in the Malibu sedan and produces 252 horsepower and 251 ft. lbs. of torque. The Camaro sports car is also available with a V6 in its lower trim levels. This V6 is the LLT, which also has a 3.6-liter displacement but produces 304 horsepower and 273 ft. lbs. of torque with a 11.4:1 compression ratio. Chevy also offers a Vortec V6 truck engine. This engine has a 4.3-liter displacement, multipoint fuel injection and between 180 and 200 horsepower.
  
  

Eight Cylinder Engines

• For many of its trucks and sports cars, Chevy makes a V8 engine option available. The LS3 V8 is used in both the Camaro and Corvette. It is a 6.2-liter V8 that produces 430 horsepower and 424 ft. lbs. or torque. The LS3 is also notable for its large 55 mm intake valves and 6,600 maximum RPM. The LY5 is a Vortec V8 from Chevy used in most of its large trucks and SUVs. The LY5 is tuned to produce 320 horsepower when installed in an SUV, or 315 horsepower in a pickup truck.
  
  

Hybrid Engines

• Chevy also produces engines for use in hybrid vehicles where they are coupled with electric motors. A 6.0 liter Vortec V8 is used in the Tahoe and Silverado hybrids. It uses an LIVC (late intake valve closing) system and active fuel management to produce 332 horsepower and 367 ft. lbs. of torque while using minimal fuel. The Malibu hybrid uses a 2.4 liter Ecotec inline-4 cylinder engine that features variable valve timing and produces 164 horsepower and 159 ft. lbs. of torque.
  
  

Other Chevy Engines

• Chevy also produces a number of other engines on a limited or prototype basis. Several crate engines, most of which are V8s, are available for custom car builders or drivers wishing to restore a classic Chevy. For its first-ever plug-in electric hybrid, the Volt, Chevy also offers a 1.4 liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine that produces 71 horsepower. This engine is not used to power the car directly, but rather acts as a generator, powering the Volt's electric motor.
