What engine does the Vizi use?
2 Answers
Vizi uses the CA4GB1 engine independently developed by Tianjin FAW. The engine can be used as a power generation device or refer to the entire machine including the power device (such as gasoline engines, aircraft engines). Its types include internal combustion engines (such as gasoline engines), external combustion engines (such as Stirling engines, steam engines), gas turbines (racing cars), electric motors, etc. Taking the Vizi V5 as an example: the length, width, and height of this car are 4290mm, 1680mm, and 1500mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2425mm. The body type is a 4-door 5-seater sedan, and the transmission is a 4-speed automatic.
I've been driving my Weizhi car for many years. It's equipped with Toyota's 1.3L or 1.5L naturally aspirated gasoline engines, with the 1.3L CA4GA1 model being particularly common. This engine is exceptionally durable, giving me a fuel consumption of just 6-7L per 100km in the city and around 5L on highways, which is very economical. The daily driving experience is quite smooth; while it's not the most powerful, it's perfectly adequate for commuting. The acceleration is gradual but smooth. When using the AC in summer, there's a slight power drop, but it's completely within acceptable limits. Maintenance is straightforward—I just change the oil every 5,000km, costing a few hundred yuan, and the repair parts are also affordable. Compared to the Honda Fit's engine, the Weizhi's is more economical and practical, with higher reliability and fewer breakdowns, making it especially suitable for budget-conscious working-class drivers. The cabin noise is a bit noticeable, but playing some music easily masks it. Overall, it's a reliable companion that doesn't give you trouble.
