What engine does the Hongqi HS5 use?

[EvangelineMarie]

Hongqi HS5 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with the engine model CA4GC20TD32, delivering a maximum horsepower of 224 hp and a maximum power of 165 kW. The Hongqi HS5 is a mid-size SUV with body dimensions of 4760 mm in length, 1907 mm in width, 1700 mm in height, a wheelbase of 2870 mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 64 liters. The Hongqi HS5 is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, featuring front-wheel drive, front MacPherson independent suspension, and rear multi-link independent suspension.

The 2.0T engine in the Hongqi HS5 is the most pleasantly surprising domestic powertrain I've ever driven. As a long-time German car owner, I initially had low expectations for Chinese-made engines, but the actual experience completely changed my mind. FAW's self-developed CA4GC20TD-30 unit delivers 224 horsepower that effortlessly pulls the nearly 2-ton body. Its low-RPM torque is particularly robust - providing peppy city starts and explosive highway overtaking with just a throttle tap. The biggest surprise is fuel consumption, averaging around 9L/100km, even more efficient than my colleague's Highlander 2.0T. Last mountain trip with five adults and AC on, the engine handled continuous 30-minute climbs without straining. Maintenance is simple too - regular full-synthetic oil suffices, and after 30,000km not a single bolt needed adjustment. Frankly, this performance made me completely reevaluate domestic engine technology.

Over the years of focusing on engine technology, the CA4GC20TD-30 design of the Hongqi HS5 is quite sophisticated. First, the cylinder block uses high-strength aluminum alloy, which is over thirty kilograms lighter than cast iron and offers higher heat dissipation efficiency. The direct injection pressure reaches 350 bar, with fuel atomization particles as small as 20 microns, ensuring particularly complete combustion, so it easily meets the China 6b emission standards. The turbocharger features a twin-scroll design, with exhaust gases entering the turbine through two separate paths, delivering maximum torque at just 1500 rpm. It also comes with a variable displacement oil pump, enabling quick warm-up during cold starts—ready to drive even at -20°C in northeastern China. I've disassembled the throttle body and found much less carbon buildup than expected, indicating excellent fuel-air mixture. As for drawbacks, the engine note at high RPMs isn't as deep, but it's more than sufficient for daily driving.

Just helped a friend pick the Hongqi HS5, with a focus on its powertrain. This 2.0T engine delivers 224 horsepower, significantly more powerful than the Tiguan L's 186 horsepower, and its 340 Nm torque also surpasses the Envision's 350 Nm. In real-world driving, the 6AT tuning is smoother than dual-clutch transmissions, especially in traffic jams with no jerky shifts. Fuel efficiency is another advantage, saving 1.5 liters of fuel compared to the Crown Road 2.0T under the same conditions. I checked the engine code CA4GC20TD-30—core components are all from top-tier suppliers like Bosch and Schaeffler, and the piston rings use German Mahle technology. Nowadays, domestic premium cars really spare no expense, offering a 4-year/100,000-km warranty on the three major components, far more generous than many joint-venture brands.
