2 Answers
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.
