Yixuan engines come in both three-cylinder and four-cylinder versions. The three-cylinder engine is a 1.0-liter turbocharged engine with the specific model DFMC10TDS, delivering a maximum horsepower of 125 hp, a maximum power of 92 kW, and a maximum torque of 196 Nm. The four-cylinder engine is a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with the specific model DFMA15T, producing a maximum horsepower of 150 hp, a maximum power of 110 kW, and a maximum torque of 230 Nm. The Yixuan is a compact sedan produced by Dongfeng Passenger Vehicle, with dimensions of 4660mm in length, 1812mm in width, 1490mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2680mm.

From what I understand about cars in daily life, the Yixuan's engine typically comes with four cylinders, such as the 1.5-liter turbocharged version. This four-cylinder design strikes a good balance between power and fuel efficiency, delivering around 150 horsepower. The acceleration is smooth, and noise control is decent during high-speed driving. For city driving, the average fuel consumption is about 7 liters per 100 kilometers, making it quite economical. I’ve also heard that this engine is easy to maintain, with spark plug replacements needed every 40,000 to 50,000 kilometers, making it suitable for family use and avoiding frequent repairs. The engine’s overall stability is high, with minimal vibrations or sudden stalling issues, ensuring a comfortable and reliable daily commute. If performance is a concern, it excels in mid-to-low RPM torque output, making it ideal for quick starts and overtaking in urban driving. Overall, among domestic cars, its balanced performance leaves a strong impression, delivering smooth and efficient power delivery every time I drive it.

As an owner who has driven the Yixuan, I can confirm its engine is a four-cylinder. My daily driving experience has been smooth. Whether in city or mixed highway driving, the engine responds sensitively, with fuel consumption maintained between 7-8 liters, which is quite economical. The four-cylinder engine produces minimal vibration during operation, offers good noise insulation, and reduces fatigue on long trips. I recommend regular checks of engine oil and coolant to ensure optimal performance and prevent potential issues. The engine's durability is also commendable; after one or two years of use, I've encountered no major problems, and the spare parts are reasonably priced and easy to find. For family use like ours, this design is both practical and worry-free, eliminating concerns over high maintenance costs. Additionally, the turbocharging technology ensures no sluggishness during acceleration, making the driving experience much more enjoyable.

When I first started driving, I knew that the Yixuan engine is typically a four-cylinder, which is very friendly for beginners. Four cylinders mean smoother operation, avoiding the common vibration issues of three-cylinder engines, and both starting and acceleration are very smooth. In terms of fuel consumption, it's also economical—my experience shows an average of 7-9 liters for city commuting, saving a lot on fuel costs. Related maintenance, such as oil changes, is done about every six months at a low cost, and parts are widely available. I recommend this design because it reduces driving stress, making it safe and reliable. In daily use, the engine noise is low, and the seats don’t vibrate, making the journey much more comfortable. In short, the four-cylinder engine in the Yixuan is a common and reliable choice, suitable for daily commuters like me.
