What engine does the Sehol use?
2 Answers
Sehol uses a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Here are the specific details about the Sehol engine: Introduction: This 1.5-liter turbocharged engine delivers 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 20 Nm. The engine reaches its maximum power at 5500 rpm and its peak torque between 2000 to 4500 rpm. It is equipped with i-VTEC technology and multi-point fuel injection, and features an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. Configuration: This engine is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a CVT. The CVT is a relatively simple automatic transmission, consisting of only two pulleys and a steel belt. The steel belt can move along the pulleys to achieve variable speed and torque. The CVT is known for its simple structure, compact size, and lightweight design.
I've been driving the Sehol E40X for quite some time now. Its engine is a turbocharged 1.5-liter model with ample horsepower, delivering smooth acceleration on highways and remaining quiet in city traffic jams. It's quite fuel-efficient, averaging around 7 liters per 100 kilometers. This engine is independently developed by JAC with some technical collaboration from Volkswagen, offering good reliability and durability. After driving it for over a year, I haven't encountered any major issues. Different models in the Sehol series use slightly different engines; for example, pure electric models don't have traditional engines, but the fuel-powered ones mostly use this 1.5T, which provides steady power output and isn't expensive to maintain—an oil change costs just a few hundred yuan. I recommend test-driving before buying to personally experience the engine's performance on slopes or curves. Personally, I'm quite satisfied with this engine's daily performance—it's pleasant to drive and saves money.
