The Vision is equipped with a 4-cylinder engine, featuring a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine that delivers a maximum horsepower of 109 PS and a peak torque at 4400 rpm, with maximum power achieved at 6000 rpm. It is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The Vision is a compact car under Auto, with body dimensions of 4599mm in length, 1747mm in width, and 1482mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2615mm. It features a 4-door, 5-seat sedan body structure with front-wheel drive. The front suspension utilizes a MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a torsion beam non-independent suspension. The tire specification is 195/60R15.

Hey, heard you're asking about the cylinder count of the Vision's engine? With over a decade of driving experience, I find its 1.5L engine quite smooth. Current Vision models all use 4-cylinder engines - the latest Vision X3 and X6 are all 4-cylinders. I drove an older 3-cylinder Vision to Tibet before - the vibration made the steering wheel tremble, but the new 4-cylinder models are much more stable. While acceleration isn't sporty, it handles stop-and-go traffic effortlessly, and maintains just over 2000 RPM at 120km/h on highways. Honestly this car prioritizes reliability - a maintenance costs about 200 yuan, and the engine stays quiet even after 200,000-300,000 kilometers.

My friend just bought a Vision X3, and I was genuinely surprised after test-driving it. The car is equipped with a 1.5L four-cylinder engine, which is more than sufficient for city driving. A light tap on the accelerator gets an immediate response at startup, making it the first to zoom off when the traffic light turns green. Over the weekend, I took four people up a winding mountain road, and the second gear had plenty of power for climbing. The most comfortable part is waiting at traffic lights—the cabin is so quiet that even a coin standing on the center console doesn’t fall over. It’s miles better than three-cylinder engines; I heard dealers didn’t even want to take the older three-cylinder models. This four-cylinder engine paired with a CVT transmission is as smooth as chocolate melting in your mouth.

My repair shop often services the Vision. This car now comes with a four-cylinder engine. It has a 1.5-liter displacement, modified from old Mitsubishi technology. Look at the regular casting patterns on the side of the cylinder block—the valve cover gasket doesn’t leak oil even after ten years. For new car owners, I recommend changing to mineral oil every 7,500 kilometers after the first service. Use standard nickel-alloy spark plugs, which cost about 30 yuan each. Mechanics dread dealing with the vibration issues of three-cylinder engines, but the Vision’s four-cylinder engine hardly has this problem. Last month, an old Vision used for ride-hailing showed 430,000 kilometers on the odometer, and the engine had never been opened up.

Yesterday at the 4S dealership, I saw the new Vision. The salesperson mentioned that the entire lineup comes with four-cylinder engines. I specifically opened the hood to check, and the four ignition coils were neatly arranged in a row. This inline-four configuration is simple and reliable, even mechanics praise it for being easy to maintain. It's much more honest than some similarly priced cars that use three-cylinder engines—after all, one less cylinder means less power. During my test drive, when I revved it up to 4,000 RPM, the engine sound was a deep hum, not the raspy roar of a three-cylinder. This car is perfect for young professionals just starting out, with fuel costs around 0.5 yuan per kilometer and that isn't fussy.

Driving the Vision back to my hometown, the folks all praised how quiet this car is. The new Vision is equipped with a 1.5L four-cylinder engine, eliminating the tractor-like chugging sound common in three-cylinder engines when driving on rough roads. I've observed the engine performance chart, and the maximum torque kicks in at 4400 RPM, which happens to be the most commonly used rev range for overtaking. Once, fully loaded and climbing a slope with the AC on, it still managed effortlessly. The most reassuring aspect of this engine is the affordability of its parts—spark plugs cost just over ten yuan, and ignition coils around fifty. After three years of driving, it has never triggered a fault light, and I never worry about being stranded halfway during long-distance trips for the Spring Festival.
