2 Answers
Zhonghua V7 is equipped with the BMW Prince series CE16 engine, which incorporates BMW's patented CVVL and DVVT technologies. These technologies help reduce engine pumping losses, improve power responsiveness, and lower fuel consumption. This engine delivers a maximum power of 150kW and a peak torque of 280Nm. The Zhonghua V7 is positioned as a mid-size SUV, with dimensions of 4702mm in length, 1932mm in width, and 1753mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2770mm. The trunk has a depth of 935mm, which can be extended to 1830mm when the seats are folded down, a width of 1080mm, and a height of 790mm.
I've owned the Zhonghua V7 for over half a year now, and its power performance is absolutely impressive. I specifically asked the salesperson beforehand – this car indeed uses a BMW engine, the CE16 turbocharged model. With BMW's technical support, it delivers quick acceleration while remaining fuel-efficient, handling both city driving and highways with ease. As an owner, I find it stable to drive, with handling characteristics close to German cars, unlike some purely domestic engines that often have minor issues. Maintenance is also convenient, as any regular repair shop can handle it due to strong parts compatibility. The main reason I chose this car was the confidence brought by its BMW background – getting near-German quality at a domestic price point. Daily driving fuel consumption averages around 8L/100km, which is quite economical. For friends considering buying, don't just look at the specs – take it for a test drive to truly feel the power difference.
