What engine is equipped in the Changan Honor?
2 Answers
Changan Honor is equipped with the 4G15 engine, which was previously used in the V3 Lingyue and belongs to Mitsubishi's 4G1 series engines. The Changan Honor is a new CDV commercial vehicle launched by Changan Automobile, with dimensions of 4360mm in length, 1685mm in width, and 1820mm in height. The Changan Honor features a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. The front-mounted engine effectively enhances driving safety and passenger comfort while reducing noise and vibration inside the cabin. The rear-wheel-drive technology provides stronger propulsion, better cornering, rapid acceleration, and climbing performance, highlighting its advantages compared to front-engine front-wheel-drive and mid-engine rear-wheel-drive configurations.
I bought a Changan Oushang, which is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated gasoline engine developed by Changan itself, typically of the JL475Q or JL473Q series, with a power output of around 106 horsepower and torque of about 135 Nm. It provides adequate power, especially when accelerating smoothly in the city while carrying passengers or light cargo. In terms of fuel consumption, it's quite economical, averaging 8-9 liters per 100 kilometers, and even with the air conditioning on in summer, the consumption doesn't spike too much. The engine is designed to be simple and durable, with low maintenance costs—just an oil change costs a few dozen yuan. However, at higher speeds, the engine noise can be a bit noticeable, so it's recommended to clean the air filter regularly to avoid carbon buildup. Overall, it offers good value for money, suitable for daily family commuting or small business owners, with reliable stability and no major repairs needed even after several years of use.
