Is the Lingpai equipped with a three-cylinder engine?
2 Answers
The Lingpai is powered by a three-cylinder engine. It is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan under the Honda brand, equipped with a 1.5L engine. The engine delivers its maximum power at 6000 rpm and reaches peak torque at 5000 rpm, paired with an ECVT continuously variable transmission. The Lingpai measures 4756mm in length, 1804mm in width, and 1509mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2730mm and a fuel tank capacity of 40 liters. It features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension, adopting a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout.
Yes, the Honda Lingpai in its third generation, such as the new model launched in 2019, primarily uses a 1.0-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine. I've test-driven quite a few cars and feel this engine is quite cleverly designed, focusing on fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness. In city driving, it can achieve a fuel consumption of just over 5 liters per 100 kilometers. This is thanks to the lightweight nature of the three-cylinder engine, which reduces overall load. Of course, some people might worry about vibration issues, but Honda has added a balance shaft to mitigate this, and in practice, there isn't much noticeable discomfort. If you're considering buying a car, it's important to note that not all models are the same—the hybrid version might differ. Overall, the three-cylinder engine represents the current trend in the automotive industry toward smaller displacement, and when used effectively, it can save a lot on fuel costs. I've also researched that Honda's choice has significantly reduced its carbon footprint, making it quite environmentally friendly.
