Even a 1,6L can have more power than a 2,0L, which is the case when both compared cars are from different manufacturers.

Examples:

VW Golf 1,4 GT - 175 hp. Vauxhall Astra 2,0L - 130 hp.
Honda S2000 2,0L - 240 hp. Toyota Camry 3,0L - 194 hp.
Audi Coupe S2 2,2L - 230 hp. VW Golf 2,8L VR6 - 174 hp.

These are just a few examples. A lot depends on the design of the cylinder head, camshaft profiles, size and arrangement of valves, compression ratio, size of fuel injectors, as well as the final map to run the lot. Some smaller engines from the same manufacturer can also be more powerful than the larger ones too. This is particularly common in countries, where there is a tax break on smaller-engined cars, so the bigger engines are just not viable, due to the higher tax rating. Examples below:

Vauxhall Astra 1,4L 16V - 90 hp. Vauxhall Astra 1,6 8V - 75hp.
Volkswagen Golf III 1,6L 16V - 100 hp. Volkswagen Golf III 1,8L 8V - 90 hp.
Audi Coupe quattro 2,0L 20V - 160 hp. Audi Coupe quattro 2,3L 10V - 133 hp.

2,0 and 2,0i are both 2,0L engines, in older cars, the "i" used to denote fuel injection, while the other denoted either carburettor, or single-point injection. These days, a lot of manufacturers have dropped the "i" suffix, as no cars run carburettors anymore.

Very good post, Siena

Ideally, a 1.8L can't have more power than a 2.0L, but it can if it's turbo charged. It all depends on the injection/valve timing mechanism in use.

A typical example is the 2006 Toyota Celica 1.8L available in the UK market. The regular 1.8L has 140hp, and the turbo 188hp; while the 2007 Camry (2.4L 4 cylinder) boasts of just 158hp!

Your response totally contradicts your opening statement.

And confirms all I've previously said on here.
