What engine does the Shuai Ke car use?
3 Answers
Shuai Ke car uses a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine. The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 75 kW and a maximum torque of 132 Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The 1.6L naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 83 kW and a maximum torque of 150 Nm, also paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. Shuai Ke is a pure electric vehicle from Zhengzhou Nissan, with body dimensions of 4500mm in length, 1695mm in width, and 1870mm in height, a wheelbase of 2695mm, and a body structure of a 5-door, 5-seat MPV.
Over the years of repairing cars, I've encountered quite a few Shuai Ke models. Their engine types vary by year and configuration. The older Shuai Ke models mainly used Dongfeng's own DFMB20 engine, a 2.0-liter displacement, simple and durable in structure but with relatively high fuel consumption. The newer models now use the 1.6-liter DFMC16 engine, which comes in both naturally aspirated and turbocharged versions. A while back, I serviced a 1.6 naturally aspirated engine with over 100,000 kilometers on it. Oil leakage from the valve cover gasket was a common issue, but replacing the gasket and using full synthetic oil fixed it. These engines are cheap to maintain, and parts are easy to find—you can get them at any auto parts market. However, engine noise becomes noticeable when overtaking on the highway, especially after 3000 RPM, and it gets louder if the engine mounts are worn out.
My Nissan NV200 has been running freight for three years, equipped with a 2016 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, model DFMC16. It has a maximum horsepower of 117, and it struggles a bit when hauling 800kg of cargo up the basement ramp. The engine's standout feature is its affordable parts—last month, replacing the timing belt plus labor cost only 300 yuan. After warming up, the engine noise is a bit louder than when it was new, but I've tested the fuel consumption: 9L per 100km in the city when empty, and just 6.5L on the highway. Once on a long trip, the oil light flickered; it turned out the sensor wire was worn through, but a temporary fix with tape held up for 300km. I recommend regular air filter changes—I replace mine every 8,000 km and the spark plugs every 40,000 km. The engine has been quite reliable.
