What engine does the SAIC Maxus V80 use?
3 Answers
SAIC Maxus V80 uses the Eco-D engine model, with a maximum horsepower of 139 hp, maximum power of 102 KW, maximum power speed of 3500 rpm, and peak torque of 330 Nm. The engine of the SAIC Maxus V80 is produced at the SAIC Diesel Engine Factory in Shanghai, utilizing technology and production lines from the Italian VM Company (one of the world's top six diesel engine manufacturers). For daily maintenance of the SAIC Maxus V80 engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements; Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid faults, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level; When oil passes through the fine pores 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 element, it may burst the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, 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 powder from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear; Regularly use 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.
Driving the SAIC Maxus V80 feels super cool! I've been using this van for cargo hauling for two to three years. It's equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged diesel engine, part of SAIC's π series I believe, and meets China VI emission standards. With around 120 kW of power, it accelerates quickly on highways and is very fuel-efficient, averaging about 8 liters per 100 km, which has saved me a lot on fuel costs. The noise control is pretty good, making city driving relatively quiet. I regularly check the engine oil and coolant to prevent issues. If you're looking to upgrade, you might consider adding a plug-in computer to boost torque. All in all, it's reliable and practical, perfect for someone like me who enjoys tinkering.
I use the SAIC Maxus V80 for deliveries, and its engine is quite reliable. It's a 2.0T diesel, though I can't recall the exact model number, but the power is around 110 kW. It drives smoothly, especially on mountain roads without much effort. The average fuel consumption is 7-9 liters, which is more economical than gasoline vehicles. Routine maintenance is simple, like changing the air filter and cleaning the intake tract regularly. I've been driving this vehicle for over two years without major issues, except for one time when there was some carbon buildup in the exhaust pipe, which was fixed easily. Overall, it's quite durable, and I'd recommend it to friends who need a vehicle for hauling goods.
