2 Answers
Changhe M70 uses an engine produced by a Chinese independent brand. The Changhe M70 is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 83 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 150 Newton-meters. This engine is equipped with multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. In terms of suspension, the front suspension of the Changhe M70 uses a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses a spiral spring non-independent suspension. The Changhe M70 is an MPV vehicle under BAIC Changhe, with a length, width, and height of 4720mm, 1770mm, and 1800mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2810mm.
I remember when driving the Changhe M70, the engine was from Dongan Power, specifically the DAK10B model, a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated version. After driving it for over two years, I found the power delivery quite smooth, with city fuel consumption around 8-9 liters per 100 km, and slightly lower on the highway at about 7 liters. The car has ample space, making it great for family trips. The engine noise is noticeable at high speeds but not too loud. Dongan Power is a well-established domestic brand, and parts are affordable with simple maintenance—I replaced the spark plugs and filters for less than 200 RMB, so repair costs aren’t a concern. Overall, as an MPV for family use, it’s quite cost-effective, offering better value than similarly priced cars. The only downside is slightly sluggish acceleration at startup, but it doesn’t affect daily driving.
