2 Answers
The BAIC Changhe Q7 is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine across all models. Here are some details about the BAIC Changhe Q7: 1. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine in the BAIC Changhe Q7 delivers 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 200 Nm. This engine features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head. It is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a CVT transmission. 2. The front suspension of the BAIC Changhe Q7 uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a multi-link independent suspension. 3. The CVT transmission is a uniquely structured transmission. Inside the CVT, there are two cone pulleys and a steel belt. The steel belt can move along the cone pulleys, allowing the transmission to vary the gear ratio and torque.
As a Q7 owner, I can say it uses the Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, model named 4A91T, which is quite common. In daily driving, the power feels sufficient, especially when climbing hills or overtaking in the city, and the fuel consumption is decent. Officially, it's around 8 liters per 100 kilometers, but my personal experience averages just over 9 liters, which is quite economical. Thinking further, the advantage of Mitsubishi technology is its high reliability. After several years of use, I've only had to replace the belt once, with no major repairs needed, which is much better than smaller brands. If you're considering buying this car, it's best to test drive the high-end version, as the turbocharged model accelerates faster. Overall, this engine is solidly chosen and suitable for family commuting.
