2 Answers
Zhonghua V3 is equipped with a Brilliance engine. The engine converts the thermal energy of gasoline into mechanical energy by burning and expanding the gas in a sealed cylinder, pushing the piston to perform work. The Zhonghua V3 is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 87kW and a maximum torque of 150Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The Zhonghua V3 is a 5-door, 5-seat compact SUV with body dimensions of 4240mm in length, 1803mm in width, and 1600mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2570mm. The drive system of the Zhonghua V3 is front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension.
I've been driving the Zhonghua V3 for several years. It's equipped with an engine independently developed by Brilliance Zhonghua, specifically a 1.5L naturally aspirated or turbocharged version, which reportedly incorporates BMW technical support. In daily driving, the engine responds quite sensitively, with no sluggishness at startup, and the fuel consumption in urban conditions is around 7L, which is quite worry-free. Overtaking on the highway requires a bit more throttle, as the power output, while not aggressive, is smooth and reliable, making it suitable for family use. Maintenance costs are low; I use fully synthetic oil for regular servicing, with each session costing just a few hundred yuan. This engine features a lightweight design, helping to reduce overall vehicle weight and improve fuel efficiency. After long-term use, it's advisable to pay attention to the cooling system's cleanliness to prevent overheating issues. As a long-time owner, I think this engine ranks above average among domestic car engines, with durability that stands the test of time.
