What does CC mean in Car engine?

Now, cc stands for cubic centimeters - It is a unit to measure the engine's displacement.
This is the measurement of the volume of the engine's cylinders or "compartments".
Now, when you read 200 cc it means the volume of the cylinder is 200 cubic centimeters.
CC can also be expressed in the form of litres. So, 200 cc = 0.2 L engine.


Remember that: 1 cubic centimeter = 0.001 liters = 1 milli liter.

With that you can understand that more cc does not mean more power. So, that brings to the most asked question: Does more cc mean more fuel consumption?
From what I've read, it is generally true that a vehicle with more displacement will have more fuel consumption.
However, there are very many other factors that affect fuel efficiency.
Therefore, by minimizing engine displacement, you will not ensure increased fuel efficiency.
