What engine does the Honda Haoying have?
4 Answers
Honda Haoying's engine is domestically produced in China, utilizing Honda's technology. It is a turbocharged engine and belongs to the Earth Dreams series. The engine model used in the Honda Haoying is L15BT. The 1.5T engine has a maximum power output of 142kW and a maximum torque of 243Nm. The 2.0L engine has a maximum power output of 146 horsepower, with an additional electric motor providing a maximum power output of 184 horsepower. Here are some maintenance methods for the Honda Haoying's engine in daily use: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, choose SD-SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, select CB-CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance will deteriorate, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, it may rupture the filter or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls. These mix with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I remember the Honda Haoying mainly offers two engine options. The gasoline version is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, model L15BE, with a maximum output of 182 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque. It uses Honda's classic VTEC technology, which intelligently adjusts valve lift to enhance power while reducing fuel consumption. The driving experience is strong in acceleration, with quick low-speed response in the city and no sluggishness when overtaking on highways. The hybrid version features a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine paired with dual electric motors to form the i-MMD system, delivering a combined power of 215 horsepower. The pure electric mode is quiet and fuel-efficient, with the engine only engaging when needed, ensuring smooth transitions. This system is highly efficient and energy-saving, making it ideal for daily commuting. I've driven the hybrid version, and in congested urban areas, fuel consumption can drop as low as 5 liters per 100 kilometers, while maintaining around 7 liters on long-distance trips, making it very practical.
As an ordinary driver, what impressed me most during the test drive of the Honda Haoying was its engine performance. The 1.5T turbo engine in the gasoline version starts swiftly, delivering a strong push-back sensation with just a light press on the accelerator, without any hesitation; it maintains stable and powerful performance during high-speed cruising, with excellent noise control, making the cabin very quiet. The hybrid version's 2.0-liter engine combined with electric drive surprised me even more. At low speeds, it runs purely on electricity with no engine noise, and the system seamlessly integrates during acceleration without any jerking. The overall power output is linear, making daily driving easy and comfortable, especially during city stop-and-go traffic, where the battery intervention saves fuel and enhances drivability. The Haoying's engine setup balances performance and practicality well, and I feel it responds faster than other SUVs like the Toyota RAV4's 2.5 hybrid.
I've compared several SUV engines, and the Honda Breeze's 1.5 turbo gasoline engine and 2.0 hybrid system are quite impressive. The 1.5T version delivers strong power, with 182 horsepower sufficient for steep slopes and full loads, and it has better noise suppression than the CR-V in the same class. The hybrid system uses the efficient i-MMD, providing smoother acceleration and significantly lower fuel consumption compared to pure gasoline vehicles, similar to Toyota's hybrid but with more responsive performance. From a maintenance perspective, Honda engines are durable, requiring only standard synthetic oil, making upkeep affordable. However, compared to the V6 engines in American SUVs, the Breeze's power delivery might not be as wild, but it's more suitable for family use and fuel efficiency.
