Economical engine for a family car
The first engine is meant for small family cars (Renault Megane, Kia Ceed, Skoda Octavia...) - 80kW is more than enough, and more importantly torque comes from low rpm, has great reliability and the efficiency is around 40%. Not sure about the costs, how they compare to real life engines, I tried to make 1.4L engine from my car and without any quality adjustments it was about half as cheap... maybe this could be a better alternative to relatively unreliable expensive turbo diesels?
The second one is a small but cheap and efficient engine for small cars (Renault Twingo, Kia Picanto, Skoda Fabia...) - 45kW is not much, but gets the job done, and with 38% efficiency it should allow for a nice small cheap car with a very good mileage.
I tried them for my Hyundai Accent (2007 model) analog, a cca 1150kg car with 1.4L engine (100km/h in 12,4s and 6,5L/100km real life, in-game analog was pretty close with 11,5s and 6,2L/100km, couldnt tune the engine for the exact specs). My 2.0L engine returned 100km/h in 10.9s and 4,3L/100km and 1.0L returned 100km/h in 15.9s and 3,86L/100km, not too bad I think compared to what the car companies are selling currently
