How to Distinguish Between Haval EB and EG Engines?
3 Answers
Haval EB and EG engines differ in the following aspects: 1. Comparative analysis: The Haval H6 EG series outperforms the EB series. Compared to Volkswagen products in the same price range, the new Haval H6 EG series features more refined styling, a more luxurious interior, richer configurations, and more powerful performance. 2. Transmission system: The new Haval H6 EG series comes standard with China's first mass-produced wet dual-clutch transmission independently developed by Great Wall Motors. 3. Engine: The new Haval H6 is also equipped with a 4C20 2.0T turbocharged direct injection engine, which delivers a maximum power of 145kW and a peak torque of 345Nm. 4. Active safety: The new Haval H6 EG series surpasses its competitors in active safety, featuring a semi-automatic parking system, ACC adaptive cruise control, 360° surround-view system, FCW forward collision warning system, and AEB automatic emergency braking system, making driving smarter, safer, and more convenient.
I've driven quite a few Haval vehicles, and the difference between EB and EG engines is quite noticeable. The EB series, like the 1.5T EB04, was mainly used in older H6 models, with a maximum power output of around 150 horsepower. The EG series, such as the 1.5T EG01 in the third-generation H6, can deliver up to 169 horsepower. The most obvious difference is in the engine bay—the EG series uses an all-aluminum block for significant weight reduction, has a more robust intake pipe design, and the turbocharger is positioned closer to the firewall compared to the EB. When I worked on an EG engine, I noticed it features an upgraded 350bar high-pressure direct injection system, different piston ring structures, and a relocated oil filter. Paying attention to these details when choosing a used car can prevent being misled—the EG series indeed offers much smoother driving performance.
Last time I accompanied a friend to the 4S store to look at cars, the sales manager used the configuration sheet to educate us: The key difference between EB and EG lies in the generational technology gap. The EB series belongs to Haval's early 1.5T engines, with typical fuel consumption data around 7.8L/100km; the new EG series has improved thermal efficiency to 38%, equipped with CVVL (Continuous Variable Valve Lift) technology, and can achieve a combined fuel consumption as low as 6.6L. Specifically regarding models, the M6 before 2020 mostly used the EB series, while current new models like the Chitu and Shenshou uniformly adopt the EG platform. Remember to check the label on the inner side of the engine cover: EB series codes start with GW4G15F, while EG series codes begin with GW4B15. The salesperson mentioned that after the upgrade, customer complaints about oil burning issues have decreased by more than half.
