Is the engine of Hongqi H7 domestically produced or imported?
2 Answers
Hongqi H7's engine is domestically produced, entirely independently developed and manufactured by China FAW Group Corporation. The engine model for Hongqi H7's 2.0T version is CA4GC18TD-12, with a maximum power of 150kW, maximum horsepower of 204, and maximum torque of 260 N·m. The 1.8T version's engine model is CA4GC20TD-32, with a maximum power of 138kW, maximum horsepower of 188, and maximum torque of 260 N·m. For daily maintenance of Hongqi H7's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, choose SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, select CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid faults, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may burst the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and bring contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from component wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, clogging filters and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine's normal operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I've been driving the Hongqi H7 for several years and have deep feelings about its engine. It is definitely domestically produced, independently developed and manufactured by FAW, not imported. During daily driving, it starts smoothly and powerfully with quick acceleration response. FAW's turbocharging technology makes the 1.8T engine particularly fuel-efficient, and it doesn't shake even when driving in the city. As an ordinary car owner, I think this reflects the progress of domestic engines. Early Hongqi models still relied on imports, but now they are completely independent, with cheap and convenient maintenance. To check the engine condition, just go to the 4S store. The mechanics are all locals, parts are easy to find, and you can drive with peace of mind.
