The Mustang T70 uses a Mitsubishi brand engine. An engine is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy, serving as the power-providing device for a car, essentially the heart of the vehicle, determining its power, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental friendliness. The Mustang T70 is a compact 5-door, 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of 4555mm in length, 1835mm in width, and 1715mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2665mm. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 115 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 215 Newton-meters.
I've been driving the Wild Horse T70 for three years. The car is equipped with a Mitsubishi-branded 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, which offers quite responsive power delivery. It accelerates quickly for city commuting, but feels slightly underpowered when overtaking on highways. Fuel consumption is around 8.5 liters per 100 km, rising a bit when using air conditioning in summer. I initially bought it for its good value for money and reliable, durable engine with no major issues. The only thing to note is not to skimp on maintenance—always use full synthetic oil and change it every 5,000 km to prevent carbon buildup. Last year, I took a long trip to Yunnan, and it performed well on steep mountain roads without any breakdowns. Overall, the engine has a long lifespan and can easily last ten years, though cold starts are a bit noisy—you get used to it. Choosing this car was definitely a smart decision.
I've repaired many Wild Horse T70 models, most of which are equipped with Mitsubishi-supplied engines, commonly the 1.5T or 1.8L versions. All the ones I've encountered were genuine. These engines are simple to install, not structurally complex, and have low maintenance costs—replacing spark plugs or cleaning fuel injectors can be done for just a few hundred yuan. However, common issues include sensor failures or air filter blockages, which can be avoided with timely checks. When driving, it's best to press the accelerator gently and avoid sudden acceleration to extend the engine's lifespan. Maintenance is recommended every six months, and the mechanics at the shop suggest using original parts for better performance. Overall, these engines are reliable, the car is affordable, making it a great choice for working-class people, and they've passed many durability tests.
I commute daily in a Wild Horse T70, equipped with Mitsubishi's 1.5L turbo engine—a reliable brand with adequate power, ensuring no sluggish starts during rush hour. Fuel consumption is moderate, around 8L, slightly higher with AC on. The ride is smooth, free of odd noises, and the chassis tuning complements the engine well. Long highway drives are comfortable with light steering. Monthly maintenance checks are simple and affordable, costing about 200 RMB. Cold starts in winter are slightly slower but warm up in half a minute. Overall, it's a satisfying urban driving companion.
