As an owner of the Hafei Zhongyi V5, I drove this vehicle for several years. It was equipped with the Dongan DA465Q-1A engine, a 1.1L displacement gasoline engine with a four-cylinder design. For daily driving, it felt adequately powered without being fuel-thirsty, and it remained stable at around 80 km/h on highways. This engine is quite common in microvans and has decent reliability, though it occasionally exhibited unstable idling during startup, requiring periodic throttle cleaning to maintain smooth operation. I remember once on a long trip, the engine had slight vibrations midway, which were resolved by replacing a spark plug—highlighting the importance of maintenance. If you're considering a used V5, I recommend checking the engine's wear condition. Its simple design keeps repair costs low, with an average fuel consumption of around 7L per 100 km, making it economical for household use. Overall, this engine is well-suited for urban commuting—don’t expect explosive power, but it offers high cost-effectiveness and can reliably exceed 100,000 km as long as basic maintenance isn’t neglected.
