What brand of engine is used in the Dongfeng Fengguang ix5?

SFG15TA is the engine model used in the Dongfeng Fengguang ix5, with a maximum horsepower of 150 hp, a maximum power of 110KW, a maximum power speed of 5600rpm, and a peak torque of 220N.m. The Fengguang IX5 engine is produced in China and is independently developed by Dongfeng Fengguang. For the daily maintenance of the Dongfeng Fengguang ix5 engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to the mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the requirements specified by the manufacturer. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid faults, the oil should be changed regularly based on usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate. When oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and sticky substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may burst the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to pass through the bypass valve and bring dirt back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. When the amount is small, it suspends in the oil; when the amount is large, it precipitates from the oil, blocking the filter and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I have conducted extensive research on the Dongfeng Fengguang ix5. It is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine independently developed by Dongfeng, a brand produced by Dongfeng itself. The specific model is SFG15T, with technology partially derived from Fiat's platform but primarily relying on local development. I frequently test drive this vehicle, and its power delivery is smooth in urban areas, with good acceleration from a standstill. The average fuel consumption is around 7-8 liters, which is quite fuel-efficient. In terms of engine reliability, there are rarely reports of major issues in daily use, noise control is much better than the older models, and maintenance is straightforward, making it suitable for family use. As an automotive enthusiast, I believe Dongfeng has made significant progress in recent years, and this engine offers high cost-performance, meeting daily needs effectively.
I've handled many Fengon ix5 cases in the repair shop, where the common engine is the Dongfeng-branded 1.5T turbocharged model. When owners bring their cars in, I often encounter carbon buildup or spark plug wear issues, leading to unstable power. I recommend regular maintenance, such as changing the oil every six months and cleaning the fuel system. The engine is generally durable, and Dongfeng's proprietary technology makes parts easy to find, keeping repair costs low. During inspections, I check the oil condition and sensor data to ensure there are no leaks or malfunctions. For long-term use, this engine performs reliably in city driving, offers strong stability at high speeds, and has well-optimized fuel consumption.
