A couple of days ago, I accompanied my cousin to check out cars, and he was considering the Beijing X3. The engine in this car is quite special—it's a 1.5T turbocharged unit from Aerospace Mitsubishi, model 4A91T. I've driven this car, and the power delivery is quite linear. While the specs aren't particularly explosive, it's more than adequate for daily driving. It's worth mentioning that this engine has been used by many domestic brands, so parts are easy to find for maintenance, and mechanics can practically fix it with their eyes closed. Compared to some three-cylinder engines in the same price range, this four-cylinder feels more confident when accelerating past 60 km/h, making highway overtaking feel effortless. However, the fuel consumption is average, with city driving under air conditioning averaging around 8 liters per 100 km.
