What engine does the new Honda Lingpai use?

The new Honda Lingpai uses an R18Z5 engine with i-VTEC technology. Lingpai engine maintenance: 1. Regularly clean the car radiator: Rust and scaling in the engine radiator are common issues; 2. The engine fuel system should be cleaned and maintained every 10,000 kilometers of normal driving; 3. Regularly clean the car crankcase. The Honda Lingpai is designed with the concept of the Chinese dragon, and its body size falls between the Civic and Accord, being the production version of the Concept C concept car. Developed based on the chassis architecture of the Fit and City, the Lingpai has larger body dimensions than the Civic, with a length, width, and height of 4650mm, 1750mm, and 1505mm respectively, boasting the longest body in its class. Its 2650mm wheelbase also outperforms the Civic.
I used to drive the new Honda Lingpai, which mainly comes with two types of engines: a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.0L turbocharged engine. The 1.5L naturally aspirated version is the mainstream choice, delivering 109 horsepower and paired with a CVT transmission, offering smooth and fuel-efficient performance. For city commuting, the fuel consumption is around 6L/100km, and the engine noise is well-controlled, making long-distance driving comfortable. There's also a 1.0L three-cylinder turbocharged version, producing 122 horsepower, which offers quicker acceleration, suitable for those who desire a bit more power. However, the three-cylinder engine may occasionally produce slight vibrations, but it doesn’t affect daily use. As a family commuter car, its maintenance costs are low, and servicing at 4S stores is convenient. If the budget allows, you can opt for the hybrid version equipped with the 1.5L i-MMD system, which is even more fuel-efficient and eco-friendly, driving as quietly as an electric car.
