What engine does the Hongqi H9 have?
2 Answers
The engine of the Hongqi H9 is independently developed by China FAW and is a domestically produced engine. The engine model of the Hongqi H9 is CA4GC20TD-31. The 2.0T version engine has a maximum power of 185kW and a maximum torque of 380Nm, while the 3.0T version engine has a maximum power of 208kW and a maximum torque of 400Nm. For daily maintenance of the Hongqi H9 engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, choose SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and keep the oil level moderate. When oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through, the filter may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and bring contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. 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, mixing with metal particles from wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while large amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making 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've learned about the Hongqi H9, and its engine system is quite impressive. It typically offers two versions. The mainstream one is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine, with a maximum horsepower of 252. It has quick acceleration response, smooth starts for daily driving, and no hesitation when overtaking. I've driven it a few times and felt that the engine noise is well controlled. Paired with an automatic transmission, the fuel consumption in urban areas is about 9-10 liters per 100 kilometers, which isn't too fuel-heavy. There's also a 3.0-liter V6 turbocharged engine with 283 horsepower, more suitable for highways or long-distance driving, offering ample power reserves and no problem with climbing hills. Overall, both engines are independently developed by Hongqi, and their reliability has been market-tested. Maintenance is straightforward with regular engine oil, and the periodic maintenance costs are not high. As a domestic brand, Hongqi has made significant progress in engine technology in recent years, making it a car that offers both prestige and substance.
