What engine does the Chang'an Yuexiang use?
2 Answers
Chang'an Yuexiang uses two types of engines in total, one is a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine, and the other is a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine. The function of the engine is: to convert the thermal energy of gasoline into mechanical energy by burning and expanding the gas in a sealed cylinder to push the piston to do work. Taking the 2019 Chang'an Yuexiang as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4390mm, width 1725mm, height 1490mm, wheelbase of 2535mm, and a body weight of 1050kg. The 2019 Chang'an Yuexiang is equipped with a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 101ps, maximum torque of 135nm, and maximum power of 74kw.
The Changan Alsvin typically uses the JL series gasoline engines, with the JL478Q model being quite common, featuring a displacement of around 1.5 liters. This engine is Changan's proprietary technology, incorporating VVT (Variable Valve Timing) to improve fuel efficiency. It's relatively fuel-efficient for daily driving, consuming approximately 7 liters per 100 kilometers. While the acceleration isn't particularly fast, it's sufficient for city commuting. One downside is the noticeable noise at high speeds, so regular oil and filter changes are essential. The engine's reliability is decent; I haven't encountered major issues over years of use, only needing occasional spark plug replacements due to aging. For family cars, this engine offers high cost-effectiveness and low maintenance costs, making it a practical and worry-free choice. In summary, its core design focuses on economy and practicality, catering well to entry-level users.
