What engine does the Guangben City have?
2 Answers
The Guangben City is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine. A naturally aspirated engine works by allowing atmospheric pressure to force air into the combustion chamber without the use of any supercharger. The engine is the device that provides power to the car, serving as the heart of the vehicle, and determines the car's power, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental performance. Taking the 2019 City as an example, its body structure is a four-door, five-seater sedan with dimensions of: length 4450mm, width 1695mm, height 1477mm, a wheelbase of 2600mm, a minimum ground clearance of 100mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 40L.
I've driven the Honda City (known as Fit Aria in some markets) for three years and know its engine intimately—it's Honda's 1.5L i-VTEC, model name L15B series. It delivers peppy acceleration in urban driving while being fuel-efficient, averaging around 6L/100km. This mature engine technology proves reliable with smooth power delivery. An oil change costs just over 200 RMB, far more economical than turbocharged engines. As a long-term owner, I recommend it to commuters for its low maintenance—spark plugs and filters require less frequent replacement, and it rarely has issues even after 100,000+ km. Positioned as an entry-level compact sedan, this engine outperforms comparable domestic models with noticeably quieter operation and better efficiency, significantly improving driving comfort. I often share my ownership experience with neighbors when they're car shopping.
