What engine does the Wuling Hongguang 1.4 have?

[Albert]

Wuling Hongguang is equipped with the P-TEC 1.4L engine, which is designed and manufactured according to General Motors' global powertrain standards. The 1.4L engine is a high-performance engine newly developed by SAIC-GM-Wuling, with parameters that can even rival those of a 1.6L displacement engine. It delivers a maximum power of 75kW/6000rpm and a maximum torque of 131N·m/4200rpm, with significant improvements in torque, noise reduction, and service life. Introduction to Wuling Hongguang: The Wuling Hongguang is the first independently developed crossover product between commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles launched by SAIC-GM-Wuling. It features a sleek exterior design and a versatile, practical, and spacious interior. The Wuling Hongguang achieves a perfect balance between power and fuel efficiency, along with strong performance in handling and safety, redefining the traditional impression of commercial vehicles. Engine: An engine (Engine) is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (such as Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc. For example, an internal combustion engine typically converts chemical energy into mechanical energy. The term engine can refer to both the power-generating device and the entire machine, including the power unit.

The Wuling Hongguang 1.4 uses a P-TEC series 1.4L gasoline engine, typically the L2B model, with a maximum horsepower of 102 HP and torque of 131 Nm. This engine is quite practical, and I find its acceleration adequate, especially for city commuting, with a fuel consumption of around 7 liters per 100 km—neither too high nor too low. The key point is Wuling's strong durability; the engine design is simple, parts are cheap and easy to find, and it can be repaired at maintenance shops nationwide, saving me a lot of hassle. As an experienced driver, I like to share some insights: this engine, paired with the rear-wheel-drive layout in the Hongguang MPV, performs well whether hauling goods or carrying passengers, though the power might feel slightly weak when fully loaded. However, the maintenance cost is low, and changing the oil is easy—just expect some noise, but you’ll get used to it. Compared to the 1.2L version, it offers more power without being too fuel-thirsty, making it an economical and practical choice for daily use.

The 1.4L engine in the Hongguang is a General Motors technology-supported 1.4-liter gasoline engine, model named P-TEC, with a maximum power output of 76 kW. I've been using it for several years and find it quite reliable, rarely encountering major issues, with fuel consumption ranging between 6 to 7 liters. It's also quite fuel-efficient on long trips. The internal structure of the engine isn't overly complex, making maintenance straightforward; minor services at a roadside shop cost around 200 yuan. As an owner, I drive it daily for commuting, and the power is just right, with no sluggishness when starting. The drawback is noticeable noise at high RPMs, but it doesn't affect comfort. This engine is also used in models like the Baojun, making parts interchangeable and replacements like spark plugs or belts convenient. Wuling focuses on affordability, and this engine has a long lifespan, easily lasting 150,000 kilometers without major issues. It's advisable to regularly check the spark plugs to prevent carbon buildup. In summary, it's highly practical, suitable for family use or small businesses.

The Hongguang 1.4 is equipped with a 1.4-liter L2B gasoline engine, delivering 102 horsepower, offering a balanced driving experience. Personally, I find its tuning leans towards practicality, with linear power delivery—not as aggressive as turbocharged engines but highly reliable. In terms of fuel consumption, it averages 6.5 liters per 100 km, making refueling costs low. The engine is slightly noisy, but it's acceptable for city driving. Routine maintenance is straightforward; checking the oil and filters can be done yourself. This engine, used in the Wuling series, offers exceptional value for money.
