The Mustang Bojun uses brand engines, with two engine options available: a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 112 HP, a maximum power of 82 kW, and a maximum torque of 145 Nm. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine produces a maximum horsepower of 156 HP, a maximum power of 115 kW, and a maximum torque of 215 Nm. The Mustang Bojun is a compact SUV under the Mustang brand, featuring a design with numerous horizontal lines. The entire front grille adopts a horizontal bar style, complemented by well-positioned LED daytime running lights on both sides. The lower part extensively uses silver chrome decorations, giving it a strong sense of power while maintaining a slightly square and understated front appearance.

I've been driving the Wild Mustang Bojun for two years now. This car has sufficient power and is fuel-efficient, equipped with a Aerospace engine. The 1.5L model is called 4A91T, and it's quite powerful with turbocharging. When I first bought the car, I specifically looked it up—Mitsubishi's technology is quite mature, and many domestic brands like Soueast and Zotye have used the same engine. The naturally aspirated version seems to be an engine developed by Chuanqi themselves, but it's rarely seen on the road. During maintenance, the mechanic said this engine is sturdy, just a bit noisy, and reminded me to use 5W-30 oil. He also advised not to rev it too high, and it's perfectly fine for daily commuting.

A couple of days ago, I accompanied my buddy to the market to check out the Borgward. The seller popped open the hood and pointed it out to us: 'See, the turbocharged versions all have the Mitsubishi 4A91T marked on the engine cover, while the older naturally aspirated models use the Borgward's self-developed BM15 engine.' The salesperson mentioned that Mitsubishi engines have a large market presence, making parts easier to find, and even roadside repair shops can fix them. We specifically tested the acceleration—the turbo kicks in at 2000 rpm, and the push-back feeling is quite noticeable. Although the engine sound gets a bit rough during hard acceleration, for this price range, you can't ask for much more.

During car repairs, I've come across many Bojun models, which mainly feature two engine configurations: the mainstream version uses Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi's 1.5T engine, model 4A91T, with a cast iron cylinder block and aluminum cylinder head design—though the technology is dated, it's reliable. The base model is equipped with Chuanqi's self-developed BM15 series. Focusing on the engine, it's backed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' technology, delivering a maximum power of 115kW and 215Nm of torque at just 1500 rpm. A common issue to note is oil seepage in the turbo intake pipe; the seals should be checked at 80,000 km. It's recommended to use full synthetic oil, with an average urban fuel consumption of around 8L/100km.

An interesting phenomenon was observed while studying engine matching in domestic vehicles: the Mustang Bojun initially featured self-developed engines, but saw a noticeable sales increase after switching to the Mitsubishi 4A91T. This engine is an old friend of domestic cars, known for its strong low-end torque. Paired with the Getrag 6DCT transmission, it delivers brisk acceleration from traffic lights. However, the Mitsubishi engine also has shortcomings, such as noticeable noise during highway overtaking and faster deterioration of engine mounts. Recently, it was seen that the new model has upgraded to a silent chain, addressing some of these pain points.

I drove my friend's Borgward on mountain roads, and the turbo kicked in with power on demand. I specifically asked about the engine model—it's a 1.5T from Aerospace, shared by many domestic SUVs. The engine's biggest highlight is its torque plateau between 1500-4500 RPM, making hill climbs effortless. However, maintenance details are crucial: oil changes every 5,000 km are a must, and long-term use of 92-octane fuel can lead to carbon buildup—my friend had to clean the throttle body at 30,000 km. Highway fuel consumption tested at 6.9L, but city traffic can spike it to 9L. Overall, it's well worth the price of just over 70,000 yuan.
