What engine does the Landwind X8 use?
3 Answers
The Landwind X8 is equipped with 1.8T and 2.0T turbocharged engines. An engine is a machine that can convert one form of energy into another, typically transforming chemical energy into mechanical energy. Taking the 2018 Landwind X8 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4636mm, width 1865mm, height 1810mm, with a wheelbase of 2760mm and a fuel tank capacity of 70L. The 2018 Landwind X8 engine has a maximum power of 130kW and a maximum torque of 280Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The front suspension uses a double-wishbone independent suspension, and the rear suspension employs a four-link coil spring suspension with hydraulic cylinder shock absorbers.
I have a friend who often talks about his Landwind X8. In its early days, it mainly used Mitsubishi's 4G63 engine, which is quite a classic. But later, it gradually switched to a self-developed 1.8-liter turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of around 160. It has quick acceleration response, making it suitable for urban commuting. The downside is its relatively high fuel consumption on highways, requiring more refueling during long trips. Additionally, the engine models vary across different year models. For example, the 2015 model uses the JL48QTc gasoline engine. It's advisable to check the manual when buying a used one to make maintenance easier. Don't just focus on the specs; test-driving to feel the smoothness of the power is the real deal.
Back when we worked on cars, we came across quite a few Landwind X8s. Most of them were equipped with a 1.8T gasoline engine, and some older models even used Mitsubishi technology. The power output was stable, and the torque was strong, making it easy to climb hills in mountainous areas. However, a common issue was slightly faster oil consumption. It's recommended to check the filter every 5,000 kilometers to prevent carbon buildup from affecting the engine's lifespan. Additionally, the engine bay is spacious, making part replacements like spark plugs a breeze—just remove and replace. Overall, maintenance costs are low, and the car can easily run for ten years without issues. For peace of mind, it's best to schedule comprehensive inspections at the 4S shop regularly.
