2 Answers
4G15 is a Mitsubishi engine. Here is an introduction to Mitsubishi engines: Mitsubishi 4G Engine: Mitsubishi engines refer to the Mitsubishi 4G series engines. The Mitsubishi 4G engine is a 1834cm3 displacement engine developed by Mitsubishi, which adopts the GDI (gasoline-direct-injection) technology, meaning gasoline direct injection into the cylinder. By injecting gasoline directly into the cylinder, it achieves high-response and high-precision fuel control. Performance Introduction: The 4G9 series engines are mature products currently mass-produced by Mitsubishi Motors in Japan, achieving world-leading levels in structure, performance, reliability, and other aspects. The main advantages of the product: compact structural design, compared to engines of the same displacement, it has smaller external dimensions and lighter weight.
As a car enthusiast who has extensively researched various engines, I can confirm that the 4G15 is indeed an engine developed by Mitsubishi, belonging to its 1.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline series. In terms of design, it emphasizes reliability and fuel efficiency, delivering around 100 horsepower and approximately 120 Nm of torque, making it particularly suitable for compact cars like the Mitsubishi Lancer. Having driven a car equipped with this engine, I found it adequate for daily driving but slightly sluggish in acceleration, with decent fuel economy—around 7 liters per 100 km in city driving. Technically, it features a naturally aspirated design, with later versions incorporating electronic fuel injection to improve responsiveness. For maintenance, I recommend oil changes every 5,000 km to prevent carbon buildup issues. This engine was popular from the 1990s to the 2010s and was also adopted by some domestic models like the BYD F3, known for its stability though minor rattling may occur over time. Overall, it represents Mitsubishi's classic choice in the entry-level market. Although newer engines have replaced it, many are still running on the roads today.
