I've studied the engine in the Hongqi HS5, and it's quite impressive. It uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged CA4GC20TD-31 engine that delivers 224 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque, providing strong acceleration that outperforms some joint-venture SUVs in the same class. Technically, it features a direct injection system, which improves fuel efficiency, with an average fuel consumption of around 9L/100km—not too high. The matched 8-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly, offering quick starts in the city and stable power output on the highway. Over the past few months of driving it extensively, I haven't encountered any major issues, though it starts a bit slower in winter. For maintenance, regular oil changes are recommended every 7,000 kilometers using 5W-30 oil to extend its lifespan. Overall, this engine is reliable and stands out as a highlight among Chinese brands, making it suitable for daily family use and light off-roading.
