Does the Honda Lingpai have a 4-cylinder engine?

Honda Lingpai does have a 4-cylinder version. The 4-cylinder engine model of the 2020 Lingpai was launched in July. Here are the relevant details about this model: 1. In terms of power, it is equipped with Honda's 1.5L-i-MMD hybrid system, making the Lingpai the first domestic model to feature this hybrid system. The 4-cylinder 1.5L engine delivers a maximum power of 109 horsepower (80 kW) and a peak torque of 134 N·m. 2. For the chassis, the new model adopts a front MacPherson and rear torsion beam non-independent suspension structure. 3. In terms of dimensions, the Lingpai's body appears long and substantial. The hybrid version measures 475618041509mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2730mm, consistent with the fuel version.

I've driven the old Honda Crider, which was a four-cylinder model. Most units manufactured before 2019 came with a naturally aspirated 1.8L four-cylinder engine, delivering exceptionally smooth performance with brisk acceleration. While the newer models predominantly use three-cylinder engines, the hybrid version actually offers a pleasant surprise—it's equipped with a 1.5L Atkinson cycle four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor. I recommend checking the rear badge when you view the car; models marked with 'HYBRID' are all four-cylinder hybrids. If you're considering used cars, be aware that the 1.0T three-cylinder engine was introduced starting with the 2016 model year, but well-maintained used four-cylinder models are still worth seeking out.

I remember in 2018 when I accompanied my brother to buy a Lingpai, the salesperson said all models had four cylinders. The 1.8L displacement felt really comfortable to drive back then. In recent years, the new models mainly use 1.0T three-cylinder engines, which accelerate briskly but do vibrate noticeably. A few days ago, I went with a friend to test drive the hybrid version and found the engine startup vibration was much less noticeable than the pure fuel three-cylinder. After carefully checking the specs, I confirmed the hybrid version uses a 1.5L four-cylinder. If you're particularly concerned about cylinder count, I'd recommend checking out the mid-range hybrid version.

The auto repair shop owner downstairs often says Civic owners care most about cylinder count. The old 4-cylinder models are indeed sturdy and require fewer repairs. Feedback from new 3-cylinder owners is polarized - some complain about vibration while others appreciate the fuel efficiency. But did you know? The hybrid version actually uses a 4-cylinder engine. Though the system is more complex, Honda's hybrid system has a good reputation for reliability. If you plan to keep the car for over 10 years, the hybrid 4-cylinder version is recommended.
