The 2009 Yuexiang 1.5 engine model is JL475Q7. Below are the specific details about the Yuexiang: 1. The Yuexiang is a compact sedan under Changan's brand. The 2009 Yuexiang has a wheelbase of 2515 mm, with length, width, and height dimensions of 4360 mm, 1710 mm, and 1475 mm respectively. The 2009 Yuexiang is exclusively available in a sedan body style. 2. The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine in the 2009 Yuexiang delivers a maximum power of 72 kW and a peak torque of 137 N·m. This engine achieves its maximum torque at 3500 to 4500 rpm and reaches maximum power at 5500 rpm. It features multi-point fuel injection technology and utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The engine is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission (4AT). 3. The 2009 Yuexiang employs a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear.
As a mechanic who frequently works on older cars, I've disassembled quite a few of those 1.5L engines from the 2009 Changan Alsvin. It uses Changan's in-house JL475Q inline-four engine, featuring a cast iron cylinder block with an aluminum head and a single overhead camshaft design. For daily driving, the low-end torque is decent and sufficient for city commuting, but you'll need to downshift in advance for highway overtaking. The most noticeable thing in the engine bay is the mechanical cable throttle system – all new cars use electronic throttles nowadays. A common issue is oil leakage from the valve cover gasket, so remind your mechanic to check the spark plug seals during maintenance. Although this old engine isn't technologically advanced, its simple structure and cheap parts are advantages. You can find a used engine in the secondary market for just around 2,000 yuan.
