What brand of engine does GAC Trumpchi use?

[BrantleyFitz]

GAC Trumpchi's engines are produced in-house by GAC Group and independently developed in China. The first batch of Trumpchi engines were imported from Italy, while subsequent ones were manufactured at GAC's engine plant. After domestic production, direct injection and dual spark plugs were eliminated, but the high-speed performance remains excellent. Featuring advanced designs like variable intake valves, variable intake manifolds, and dual four-door springs, these engines deliver rapid and agile response. The Trumpchi engine originates from Alfa Romeo's 2.0L dual spark plug engine, which has been continuously improved and developed into GAC Trumpchi's current engine. The Trumpchi series is one of GAC Group's mid-to-high-end sedan lines. Due to GAC's collaboration with Fiat, the prototype for Trumpchi vehicles was based on the Alfa Romeo 166. Consequently, Trumpchi cars retain traces of Italian design in their chassis and suspension systems. These vehicles exhibit strong handling and comfort characteristics. The front suspension employs MacPherson struts, while the rear uses a multi-link independent suspension to enhance road-holding capability and grip, thereby improving both handling and safety.
