What engine does the Changhe M70 use?
2 Answers
Changhe M70 is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine across the entire lineup. Below is an introduction to the Changhe M70: 1. The Changhe M70 is an MPV under the BAIC Changhe brand, with dimensions of 4720mm in length, 1770mm in width, and 1800mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2810mm. 2. The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine in the Changhe M70 delivers a maximum power of 83kW and a maximum torque of 150 Nm. This engine features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block, which reduces the overall engine weight and improves fuel efficiency. The engine is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. 3. The Changhe M70 employs a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a spiral spring non-independent suspension at the rear. This vehicle is a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive car, and rear-wheel-drive vehicles generally have better load capacity than front-wheel-drive ones.
I'm quite familiar with this question. The Changhe M70 is equipped with a 1.5-liter gasoline engine, specifically the BJ415B model, delivering around 83 horsepower, which is sufficient for daily urban commuting. Having driven it for almost a year, I find this engine quite economical and practical, with city fuel consumption at about 8 liters per 100 kilometers, dropping to 6 liters on highways. However, the noise level is a bit high during acceleration, especially noticeable when fully loaded or climbing hills. Maintenance isn't too troublesome—just changing the oil and filter every 5,000 kilometers keeps it in good condition. Compared to similar vehicles like the Wuling Hongguang, the Changhe M70's engine reliability is decent, though it lacks some punch in terms of power. It's perfectly adequate for light cargo or passenger transport. If fuel efficiency for long trips is a priority, this engine isn't the most ideal, but as an entry-level van, it offers great value for money. I've saved a lot on fuel costs using it for deliveries, and haven't encountered any stalling issues. I recommend regular spark plug checks to extend its lifespan.
