Hello team!!
When a car full of people (4 adults) goes to uphill, what do it needs to do it smoothly, without forcing too much the engine?
Needs more torque, binary, turbo or horse power?
Or a combination of everything?
Is this possible with a low fuel consumption car?
Best regards
Jorge
Torque is what you're talking about, specifically in the lower rpm range ~1500 - 3000 rpm. However most to every car can safely get 4 people up a steep hill. Cars were made to be able to get people up steep hils Going up a hill isn't going to kill an engine or a transmition. If you still don't feel safe, just take the long way and you'll be fine.
Load and driving uphill require more energy to move a vehicle. And more energy needs more fuel. Pure physics. Expect to drive it in lower gear.
More torque from the engine (displacement), and the transmission (lower gears)
Thank you a lot for all of your responses.
Do small cars have this kind of torque?
Or what is the ideal torque a car should have to face uphills?
Thanks

V6 at least 3L

Any modern car with four people is able to drive uphill. Cars with smaller engine and lower torque need more time and lower gears to achieve it.
Eat more, do more.
