How many cylinders does the Chery E5 have?
2 Answers
Chery E5 has 4 cylinders. Power specifications: The new vehicle will primarily feature a 1.8L engine, paired with either a 1.5L manual transmission or a 1.8L CVT continuously variable transmission. At launch, it will be matched with either a 5-speed manual or CVT transmission. The 1.8L engine delivers maximum power of 97kW and peak torque of 170Nm at 4300rpm. Two main variants will be offered. It retains the front MacPherson strut and rear compound multi-link independent suspension setup, providing handling performance sufficient for daily needs along with good ride comfort. Body structure and other features: The Chery E5's body structure remains largely unchanged, maintaining the arched roof design. It continues using the 195/55R15 tire specification from the Fulwin 3. The lower side panels feature integrated black trim pieces that visually raise the vehicle's center of gravity while adding a sporty touch. High-end production models come with stylish 7-spoke alloy wheels, mid-range versions use 5-spoke designs, and base models adopt the initial design approach of the Chery A3 with steel wheels.
I've been repairing cars for nearly twenty years and have worked with many Chery E5 models, most of which are equipped with 4 cylinders. The 4-cylinder engine is quite mainstream in compact sedans, with a 1.5L or 1.6L displacement that balances performance and fuel efficiency. Fewer cylinders can lead to shaky acceleration, while more cylinders increase weight and maintenance costs—the E5's design ensures smooth and responsive daily driving. Maintenance is straightforward, with parts like spark plugs or cylinder block cleaning being easy to handle. I recommend checking the oil and cooling system every six months. Additionally, compared to a 3-cylinder engine, the 4-cylinder has less vibration and offers more stability during highway cruising. The cylinder layout directly impacts the driving feel, and the E5's configuration is practical, especially in city traffic where annoying noises are minimized. Overall, this car is economical and reliable, with its cylinder count being one of its major strengths.
