2 Answers
Wuling Xingchen is equipped with the LJO four-cylinder 1.5T turbocharged engine. Wuling Xingchen engine specifications: Maximum power 108kW, maximum horsepower 147Ps, maximum torque 250N/m, paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or an 8-speed simulated CVT transmission. Based on previous tuning standards, the vehicle's combined fuel consumption is estimated to be around 7 liters per 100 kilometers. Origin of Wuling Xingchen: Wuling Xingchen is the first strategic SUV under Wuling's global silver badge, produced by SAIC-GM-Wuling. On April 19, 2021, at the Shanghai Auto Show, Wuling brand held a themed launch event called 'Built for Beauty' and officially announced the name of its first global silver badge strategic SUV as Wuling Xingchen.
I recall that the Wuling Xingchen primarily features a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine, commonly known as the LAR or similar series, with a power output of around 105 horsepower and a peak torque of 140 Nm. This engine is quite reliable, as Wuling has used it in many models, such as the Hongguang series, thanks to its simple structure and easy maintenance. For daily urban commuting or rural roads, it doesn't offer aggressive acceleration but provides smooth and fuel-efficient driving. From my test drive experience, it feels quiet and stable at low RPMs, making it suitable for family users or new drivers who just got their licenses. However, it can struggle a bit on uphill mountain roads—adding a turbocharger would be ideal. In the long run, Wuling uses this engine for its high cost-effectiveness, low repair costs, and readily available spare parts, ensuring reliability even for long-distance trips.
