Well, you're just wrong. It is indeed a motor. (I guess partially right, as some motors DO run on electricity.)
An engine changes thermal energy into mechanical energy Ex. steam, combustion...etc.
A motor changes ANY energy to mechanical energy Ex. electricity, combustion...etc.
Almost like how a rectangle is a square, but a square is not a rectangle.
I hate people who say V(amount of cylinders here) for any engine, As in "My brand new, kick ass, awesome, super sweet Camry has a V4!!"
