Maruti Suzuki Celerio
While this hatchback continues to rule the CNG market along with its tallboy sibling, there existed a diesel version too! Yes, do you know the Maruti Suzuki Celerio had a diesel version too? You might find one for yourself in the used car market. Just to let you know, the Celerio diesel had a 793cc two-cylinder engine. The engine was an all-aluminium block with a small turbo diameter. Although this is a really good car in the petrol and CNG versions, the diesel version was a bit underpowered and couldn’t keep up with Hyundai’s Grand i10.

2014 Alfa Romeo Mito
Just like the affordable cars that we have here in India, Alfa Romeo Mito has got a huge audience in the international market. This hatch has got a straight two-cylinder engine with 875cc displacement and produces up to 105hp in the turbocharged variant! Although it has a two-cylinder engine, this hatch features modern tech like the VVT (Variable valve Timing) and has got a pretty high compression ratio too. We don’t expect much from such vehicles on the highways but they form a perfect city car to have because of the excellent mileage they deliver!

2018 Morgan 3 Wheeler
The last one on our list of cars with a two-cylinder engine is the 2018 Morgan 3 Wheeler. A 2.0-litre V-twin motorcycle engine powers this 3-wheeled vehicle under the hood and develops around 82bhp with that single wheel at the back! As reported by many drivers, this 3-wheeler (apparently not a car) has got a quick steering but the suspension is not that impressive. The side-mounted exhausts also produce a considerable amount of vibrations which make the ride even more uncomfortable.
This was all for our list of cars that have a two-cylinder engine. We know that there are many more cars which have existed in history with a two-cylinder engine. But we wanted to include some modern-day or concept vehicles in our list this time. Leaving behind the history for some other day, we end this article right here. Share this article with your friends and let them know about these 5 cars with a two-cylinder engine on offer.
