What engine does the Weilin V5 use?
3 Answers
Weilin V5 uses a total of three engines, which are a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine, a 1.9-liter turbocharged engine, and a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine. The front suspension of the Weilin V5 uses a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses a torsion beam non-independent suspension. The Weilin V5 is a versatile 5-seat and 7-seat MPV designed for both family and commercial use. It is the first product under the Weilin brand, Chery's high-end commercial vehicle line, based on the Eastar Cross model. Its dimensions are 4662 mm in length, 1820 mm in width, and 1590 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2800 mm.
I've checked some information. The Weilin V5 uses a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine independently developed by Chery, model ACTECO SQR484B, with a maximum power of about 100 kW and a maximum torque of around 180 Nm. This engine technology is mature and was quite advanced when it was launched around 2009. It adopts a multi-point electronic fuel injection system, with good fuel economy—highway fuel consumption is just over 6 liters, and city driving stays under 10 liters. The driving experience is smooth in power delivery, with acceleration that's not fast but sufficient, making it suitable for family MPV use. Maintenance is simple, requiring only ordinary semi-synthetic engine oil, and parts are easy to find. My mechanic friends often say this is one of the reliable models among domestic engines. It's important to regularly replace spark plugs and filters to avoid carbon buildup issues. Overall, it has a long lifespan, and friends who've driven similar cars praise its durability.
My family owns a Wuling V5, which has been driven for over four years with the 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine. It's mainly used for commuting, and while the power isn't particularly strong, it's sufficient—stable at startup and handles slopes without issues. In terms of fuel consumption, it averages 10 liters per 100 kilometers in the city and drops to 6 liters on highways, making it very economical. Long drives don't feel tiring, thanks to the low engine noise and high reliability—it's never needed major repairs, just a few oil changes and minor part replacements. Maintenance is affordable, with small issues easily fixed at local garages, and spare parts are cheap. The spacious interior is great for hauling goods or family trips. I think this engine is designed for practicality, offering exceptional value for money, especially for budget-conscious families.
