What engine does the Changan Yuexiang use?

Changan Yuexiang uses an engine independently developed by Changan. Below is an introduction to the Changan Yuexiang: Power: The Yuexiang is equipped with a G-series 1.5L all-aluminum engine, with a maximum power output of 72KW and a maximum torque of 137N. The maximum torque is achieved at 3500 rpm, making it a low-rev, high-torque engine. For the suspension, the Yuexiang adopts a front MacPherson and rear torsion beam semi-independent structure, which is a common design in family-grade vehicles. This design strikes a balance between sportiness and comfort. Configuration: The Yuexiang's interior features a home-style design with a dark upper and light lower color scheme. A silver decorative strip with a carbon fiber pattern is added in the center, enhancing the interior's sense of fashion. The functional areas of the dashboard are clearly defined, with the audio control zone in the center. The buttons have a polished design, which is relatively rare in vehicle interiors. The buttons feel slightly soft to the touch, but their large size makes operation convenient. The three air conditioning knobs are also large and positioned higher up, making them easy to operate.
My old Changan Alsvin has been running for six years with the brand's own 1.5L JL475Q7 engine. This four-cylinder powerplant is exceptionally durable - it delivers adequate power for city driving and remains composed even when revving to 3500 rpm on highways. I remember the 4S technician mentioning its variable valve timing technology during purchase, which contributes to its fuel efficiency of about 7L/100km. Though its 120 horsepower output isn't groundbreaking, the maintenance costs are impressively low - an oil change costs just over 200 yuan. A neighbor with the same model once told me his Alsvin's engine hasn't required major repairs despite covering 150,000 km, just needing two minor fixes for valve cover gasket leaks.
