What engine does the Warrior use?
2 Answers
The Warrior is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, with the engine model being 4A91T. It has 4 cylinders and a DOHC valvetrain. The engine delivers a maximum power of 100 kilowatts, a maximum horsepower of 136, and a maximum torque of 200 Newton-meters. The Warrior is an off-road vehicle series produced by Beijing Automobile Works Co., Ltd., and it is also a pioneer in the development of Chinese off-road vehicles. Based on the chassis of the 212 series models, the Warrior underwent comprehensive upgrades in exterior design, interior, and powertrain by BAW. It not only inherits the excellent off-road capability of the Beijing 212 but also significantly improves the quality of domestic off-road vehicles.
As a frequent off-road enthusiast, I've driven the Beijing BJ40 Warrior. It mainly comes with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine or similar powertrain options, such as the 2.3T version, delivering around 200 horsepower. Paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, it performs quite ruggedly off-road, with ample low-end torque that makes tackling muddy slopes a breeze. The engine's reliability is decent, though fuel consumption is a bit high in city driving, around 13-15L per 100km, but more economical on highways. Remember to regularly check the turbo system and engine oil—using full synthetic oil can enhance engine durability. Overall, it's a cost-effective choice in the off-road community with great modification potential.
