The Fengguang S560 is equipped with two types of engines: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine delivers a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 220 Nm, paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a CVT transmission. The 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine produces a maximum power of 102 kW and a maximum torque of 187 Nm, matched with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a CVT transmission. In terms of suspension, the front suspension of the Fengguang S560 uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a five-link coil spring suspension.

I've been driving the Fengguang S560 for a while now. This car comes standard with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, typically the SFG15 model. It delivers ample power, quick acceleration, and doesn't feel sluggish on inclines, making it perfectly suitable for daily commutes or highway driving. In terms of fuel consumption, it averages around 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers in the city and is even more economical on the highway. As an average owner, I find the engine reliability decent—no major issues in nearly two years of driving, except for occasionally louder noises during cold starts that normalize after warming up. I recommend regular maintenance, changing the oil every 7,500 kilometers. Switching to full synthetic oil made a noticeable difference in smoothness. The only minor complaint is some slight vibration during acceleration, possibly related to engine tuning, but overall it offers great value for money and is ideal for family daily use.

The Fengguang S560 most commonly uses a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering around 150 horsepower and approximately 220 Nm of torque, making it quite suitable for urban driving. From a technical perspective, this engine employs direct fuel injection technology, offering quick response at low RPMs, unlike older models which felt sluggish. A slight turbo lag is present, but the tuning is relatively balanced. Paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, it provides smooth shifts without abruptness even during sudden acceleration. Fuel consumption averages around 7.5L/100km in real-world tests, with decent environmental performance. If possible, I recommend regular checks on the intake system and spark plugs to prevent carbon buildup from affecting performance. It shows stable long-term performance and is ideal for those seeking affordable yet spirited driving.

As a new car owner, when I chose the Fengguang S560, the salesperson mentioned it came with either a 1.5T or 1.8L engine. After a test drive, I opted for the former, finding its power more robust with quicker acceleration and better fuel efficiency. In daily driving, the engine is a bit louder at startup but quiet during normal operation, and the range is sufficient—a full tank gets me over 500 kilometers. Maintenance is straightforward, like changing the oil every six months and avoiding long-term parking in high-temperature environments. A friend drives the same model, and the engine has been reliable without major repairs. It's a great entry-level car with high cost-performance, offering a stable drive.
