Is the Great Wall M4 engine a Mitsubishi?
2 Answers
The engine of the Great Wall M4 is not a Mitsubishi; it is a self-developed engine with the model number GW4G15. Here is some extended information: 1. Power: This vehicle is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine across all variants, delivering 106 horsepower and a maximum torque of 138 Nm. This engine can output maximum power at 6000 rpm and maximum torque at 4200 rpm. The engine features VVT technology and multi-point fuel injection, and it uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. 2. Technology: In addition to utilizing technical resources from the world's top-tier component suppliers, such as the variable valve timing components provided by Japan's MIKUNI Precision Machinery Co., Ltd. and the cylinder block from GF Automotive Products Group, the development process of this engine also incorporates a range of cutting-edge global technologies. These include independent ignition coil direct ignition technology, E-gas electronic throttle, and excellent integration with the BOSCH ME7 electronic control system, enabling the engine's emissions to easily meet the Euro IV standard.
The Great Wall M4, a compact SUV, indeed utilizes a Mitsubishi engine, specifically the 4G15 model with a 1.5-liter displacement. When I was studying automotive technology, I paid attention to many domestic models, and this engine is quite classic from Mitsubishi, with its reliability and durability proven over time. It delivers smooth power output and offers decent fuel efficiency, making it suitable for daily urban driving. In the early stages of Chinese automakers' development, there was a lack of independent R&D capabilities, so borrowing mature Japanese technology, as Great Wall did, was a smart move—it reduced costs and enhanced product competitiveness. Now, I've heard many car owners report that maintenance parts for this engine are easy to find and replacement is convenient, such as valves or piston components known for their durability. Over time, Great Wall has shifted toward developing its own engines, but for the M4 as a classic model, the Mitsubishi engine remains its hallmark.
