You can only get so much power out of a single cylinder engine. No single cylinder engine would be powerful enough to move a heavy car which typically weighs over 3.500 pounds. It takes multi cylinders to be able to produce the power necessary to move a heavy vehicle with passengers aboard.

How is car engine classified?
A car engine can be classified based on the number of cylinders it has. It could be a 4 cylinder, 6 cylinder, 8 cylinder, 10 cylinder, or 12 cylinder (the last two engines are mainly used in exotic cars).

Are Toyota engines interference engines?
Not necessarily. Depends on the model and if it is a four-cylinder or V6. 2001 and older 4 cylinders have a cam belt. From 2002 -up all four-cylinder Toyota engines are driven by a chain and require no maintenance. Most of the V6 & V8 Toyota engines are driven by cam belt and require that the belt be replaced. Some are interferences and some are not. List your year and engine size and you will get a specific answer for your vehicle. Or, just open and read your owners manual.
