What engine does the Venucia Star use?

The Venucia Star is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine supplied by Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi, making it a domestically produced engine. The engine model used in the Venucia Star is A415TD, with a maximum horsepower of 190 HP. It can deliver a maximum power output of 140 KW at 5500 RPM and a torque of 260 Nm between 1500 to 4500 RPM. Here are some daily maintenance tips for the Venucia Star's engine: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, ensuring the standard meets or exceeds the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any lubricating oil will degrade over time. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, leading to various engine issues. To prevent malfunctions, change the oil periodically based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. As oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, it may rupture the filter or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass the filter and carry contaminants back to the lubrication points, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. 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. These mix with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. When the amount is small, it remains suspended in the oil; when excessive, it precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Periodically use a radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale deposits not only ensures the engine operates smoothly but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I've been driving the Venucia Star for a while now. It's equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine based on Nissan's technology, delivering around 190 horsepower. The response is quite agile during daily driving, and overtaking on the highway isn't a problem. Fuel consumption is well controlled, averaging about 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers. For maintenance, I recommend regular oil changes and air filter replacements to extend the engine's lifespan. My car has run 20,000 kilometers without any issues so far. This engine shares a platform with other Venucia models, making it quite reliable. If you want to inspect it yourself, you can check the engine compartment label for the model number HR16DE, so you won't be fooled at the repair shop.
As a young person, I really like the 1.5T engine in the Venucia Star. It has a stylish design and powerful performance, with no sluggishness during acceleration. It delivers smooth acceleration in the city and effortless performance on long trips, with a maximum torque of 260 Nm providing noticeable push-back sensation. It utilizes Nissan's VVT technology, making it both fuel-efficient and high-performing. Even when carrying heavy loads for camping trips with friends, it doesn't struggle. A key advantage is the low engine noise—with music playing, the engine roar is barely noticeable. Maintenance costs are reasonable, using only semi-synthetic oil, but be careful not to over-modify it, as that could void the warranty.
