It's called the "displacement."
Your car likely has a 4 cylinder engine. It means that there are 4 chambers in the engine where gas/air mixture is sucked in, burned, and the exhaust gas expelled. Obviously, more gas/air mixture you burn, more power you get. (simply stated)
Because each chamber is a cylinder, it has a finite ability (capacity) to suck in the gas/air mixture. When you add all of your 4 cylinder, it has the capacity of 2.5 liter.

First 'CC' stands for Cubic Centimeters'. If filled an engine was filled with fuel, it would not even turn over. A Gasoline fueled engine uses a mixture of air (compressible) and gasoline at a ratio of 14 or 15 parts air to 1 part fuel. True a 2 litre engine is 2,000 cc (cubic centimeters). So the larger the cylinder capacity, the more air&fuel the engine will use. The cylinder capacity is the (((number of cylinders) X (( PI) X (the radius of the bore squared)) x (the stroke))). And yes, after you have compressed air & fuel, the third item would be 'Spark'. Ralph

It means the combined displacement of your cylinders is 2.5 liters.

there is 2.5 ltrs in each cylinder.This is the area between the cylinder head (TDC) and the bottom of the piston travel (BDC)

2,500 cubic centimeters of displacement.
