What engine is equipped in the Honda Haoying?
4 Answers
Honda Haoying is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine and a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine. Taking the 2020 Honda Haoying model as an example, it belongs to a 5-door, 5-seater compact SUV. The body dimensions are: length 4634mm, width 1855mm, height 1679mm, with a wheelbase of 2661mm, a fuel tank capacity of 53L, and a curb weight of 1520kg. The 2020 Honda Haoying model is powered by a 1.5L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 193PS and a maximum power of 142kW, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
As a professional frequently exposed to Honda models, I can definitively tell you the Breeze offers flexible powertrain configurations. The current domestic market primarily features the 1.5T turbocharged engine with 193 horsepower output - perfectly adequate, paired with a CVT transmission renowned for its smoothness. Another popular option is the 2.0L hybrid version utilizing fourth-generation i-MMD technology, exceptionally quiet during electric motor operation with combined fuel consumption around 5L/100km. Note that earlier models had a 2.0L pure gasoline version which has now been largely replaced by hybrids. Pay attention to model years when selecting - for instance, the 2023 hybrid version upgraded thermal efficiency, making engine engagement during hard acceleration even smoother.
Last week, I helped a friend repair a Breeze. When the hood was lifted, what we saw was Honda's L15B series 1.5T engine. This engine has significantly improved carbon buildup issues compared to older models, but it's still recommended to use low-ash oil during maintenance. The hybrid version uses the LFB series 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with the focus on electric motor drive—the drive motor delivers 184 Nm of torque, and the battery pack is positioned under the rear seats, requiring special attention to wiring protection during repairs. I've encountered several cases of compressor noise issues in hybrid versions, mostly caused by incorrect refrigerant charging. Regular owners should definitely not attempt DIY fixes.
My Honda Breeze has been running for two and a half years, and I originally bought it for the hybrid version. The 2.0L engine basically only directly drives the wheels during high-speed cruising, and the electric motor works 80% of the time in the city, making it drive as smoothly as an electric car. The battery pack works together with the engine during rapid acceleration, making overtaking very easy. The torque platform of the pure gasoline 1.5T version bursts at 1800 rpm, but the frequent gear changes of the CVT are a bit annoying in traffic jams. It is recommended to choose the hybrid version in the north, as the electric motor starts working directly during cold starts in winter, without waiting for the engine to warm up.
