What engine does the Arrizo GX use?
2 Answers
Arrizo GX is equipped with the SQRE4G15C engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 116 HP, a maximum power output of 85 KW at 6150 rpm, and a peak torque of 143 N·m. The vehicle's power performance is relatively smooth and is renowned for its low fuel consumption and maintenance costs. The engine of the Arrizo GX is domestically produced and independently designed and developed by Chery. For daily maintenance of the Arrizo GX's engine, the following methods can be applied: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will deteriorate over time. After a certain mileage, its performance will degrade, leading to various engine issues. To prevent malfunctions, change the oil periodically according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, it may rupture the filter or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the relief valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication points, 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 particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Periodically use a radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates properly but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I've been driving the Arrizo GX for about two years now. The car mainly uses two engines developed by Chery itself: a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated version and a 1.5-liter turbocharged version. The naturally aspirated one, model SQRE4G16, delivers around 85kW of power. It starts up smoothly and is great for daily city commuting. The turbocharged version, SQRE4T15B, has higher power output at about 115kW, with quicker acceleration response, making highway overtaking effortless. I originally chose this car for its stable power and fuel efficiency, averaging around 6.5L per 100km. Maintenance is also affordable, with simple tasks like oil changes. Honestly, Chery has made significant technological improvements in recent years. These engines use multi-point fuel injection technology, reducing vibrations and making the ride quieter. Compared to similar cars like the Emgrand, it offers better value for money. If you often drive long distances, I’d recommend trying the turbocharged version—it’s more powerful and handles family trips with ease. All in all, it’s a reliable choice that won’t let you down on the road.
