How Many Cylinders Does the GAC Honda Lingpai Engine Have?
2 Answers
GAC Honda Lingpai offers both three-cylinder and four-cylinder versions. The pure gasoline model uses a three-cylinder engine, while the hybrid model uses a four-cylinder engine. Below are the detailed specifications: 1. The hybrid version of the Honda Lingpai is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine: This engine delivers 109 horsepower and a maximum torque of 134 Nm, with a maximum power output at 6,000 rpm and maximum torque at 5,000 rpm. The engine features i-VTEC technology and multi-point fuel injection, and it utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The electric motor paired with this engine has a maximum power of 96 kW and a maximum torque of 267 Nm. 2. The gasoline version of the Honda Lingpai uses a 1.0-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine: This engine produces 122 horsepower and a maximum torque of 173 Nm, with a maximum power output at 5,500 rpm and maximum torque between 2,000 and 4,500 rpm. The engine is equipped with direct fuel injection technology and also uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a CVT transmission. The CVT transmission is a commonly used automatic transmission in Japanese cars, featuring a relatively simple structure with only two pulleys and a steel belt inside.
I remember driving my friend's GAC Honda Lingpai, which has a 3-cylinder engine, typically the 1.0-liter turbocharged model. The power delivery is smooth and fuel-efficient, though there's occasional vibration during cold starts, but it doesn't affect daily driving. The Lingpai is quite popular, especially for city commuting, with its spacious and comfortable rear seats, making it suitable for families. To confirm, it's best to check the vehicle manual or ask the 4S store, as different models like the older 1.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder version might still be sold in some regions. Fewer engine cylinders do reduce fuel consumption, but those used to older cars might need time to adjust to the lightweight design. Overall, it's a practical choice with low maintenance costs, just use standard fuel.
