Is the Lingpai 1.8 a three-cylinder or four-cylinder engine?
2 Answers
The Lingpai 1.8 is equipped with a four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 100KW, a maximum torque of 169N-m, a maximum horsepower of 136Ps, and a maximum power speed of 6500rpm. It is paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission. The following are precautions for using a car engine: 1. Avoid driving in neutral: The engine itself has a fuel-cut function during deceleration, and driving in neutral is not conducive to fuel economy; 2. Pay attention to observation when using the vehicle: If oil is found on the ground, determine whether there is an engine oil leak and promptly communicate with the car 4S store to eliminate safety hazards; 3. For cars equipped with turbochargers: Do not turn off the engine immediately after high-speed driving or climbing a slope. Let the engine idle for 10 minutes before shutting it off. Cars with turbochargers accumulate carbon deposits several times faster than naturally aspirated cars; 4. When brake fluid is mixed with or absorbs water, or if impurities or sediment are found in the brake fluid, it should be replaced or carefully filtered promptly. Otherwise, it may cause insufficient braking pressure, affecting braking performance.
Last time I helped a friend pick out a used car, I researched the Lingpai 1.8. This model used Honda's R18 series four-cylinder engine from its launch in 2013 until production ended in 2019, with the specific model designation R18Z7. It features an inline 4-cylinder layout with a 1.8L displacement, delivering exceptionally smooth performance that remains vibration-free even at 5000 RPM. The three-cylinder engines only appeared in later 1.0T versions - all older 1.8L models exclusively used four-cylinder engines, making these badge-bearing used cars particularly sought-after in the market. If you come across an unusually low-priced used Lingpai, remember to check the number of cylinders under the hood - four-cylinder models generally show better maintenance records.
