What engine is equipped in the Haima M3?
2 Answers
Haima M3 is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine. The function of the engine is to convert the thermal energy of gasoline or diesel into mechanical energy by burning and expanding the gas in a sealed cylinder, thereby pushing the piston to perform work. Taking the 2017 Haima M3 as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4553mm, width 1737mm, height 1495mm, and a wheelbase of 2600mm. The 2017 Haima M3 features a MacPherson strut independent suspension with a stabilizer bar at the front and an H-type torsion beam suspension at the rear. It is powered by a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 112PS, a maximum power of 82kW, and a maximum torque of 147Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've worked in a repair shop for many years and frequently deal with the Haima M3. It typically comes equipped with a 1.5-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, model HM474Q-BA. This engine has a displacement of 1499cc, with a maximum output of 112 horsepower and 147 Nm of torque. It uses VVT (Variable Valve Timing) technology to improve low-end torque and fuel efficiency. The compression ratio is 10.5:1, suitable for 92-octane gasoline, and the combined urban fuel consumption is about 7 liters per 100 kilometers, making it very fuel-efficient. The engine's reliability is good—I've seen many vehicles exceed 100,000 kilometers with just regular oil changes and air filter replacements, which are low-cost. However, the engine noise is somewhat loud, especially at high speeds, but this can be mitigated by adding soundproofing material. Compared to similar engines like Geely Emgrand's, the Haima engine is more cost-effective but slightly conservative in technology. It's suitable for entry-level car owners. If considering a used car, it's advisable to check the ignition system and throttle for signs of aging. Overall, it prioritizes economy and practicality, with straightforward maintenance—just don't expect high performance.
