3 Answers
Senova X25 is equipped with a four-cylinder engine, specifically a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine with the model number A151. The Senova X25 engine delivers a maximum power of 116 PS, a maximum output of 85 kW, and a peak torque of 148 Nm. It features an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block, utilizes multi-point electronic fuel injection, and complies with the China IV emission standards. The Senova X25 is a compact SUV produced by Beijing Automotive Group. In terms of dimensions, it measures 4110 mm in length, 1750 mm in width, and 1583 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2519 mm.
I've researched this Senova X25, it uses a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine independently developed by BAIC, with standard inline-four cylinder design. The biggest advantage of a four-cylinder engine is its exceptionally smooth operation - you can barely feel any vibration when driving, especially during frequent engine start-stop in traffic jams without discomfort. With maximum power of 85kW paired with either 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission, the power is completely adequate for city driving. I remember this engine employs DVVT technology, delivering good fuel economy - my actual measurement shows about 7L/100km. Routine maintenance is also worry-free, as common repair shops can handle regular maintenance like spark plug replacement, thanks to the simple four-cylinder structure with low repair costs.
I've been driving my Senova X25 for over three years, the version with the 1.5L four-cylinder engine. Honestly, four-cylinder engines are much more reliable than three-cylinder ones, especially during cold starts in winter - never any shaking. The displacement is sufficient for daily use, though overtaking on highways can be a bit challenging, but it's perfectly fine for city commuting. What satisfies me most is the affordable maintenance - an oil change only costs about 200 yuan, not as delicate as turbocharged engines. Fuel consumption stays around 7.5 liters, slightly higher when using AC. The engine bay layout is quite reasonable - last time I changed the air filter myself without having to remove too many components, very DIY-friendly for owners who enjoy hands-on maintenance.
