What engine is equipped in the Senova D20?
3 Answers
The Senova D20 is equipped with a 1.3L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine. The 1.3L naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 75kW and a maximum torque of 128Nm; the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 85kW and a maximum torque of 148Nm. Both engines are equipped with multi-point electronic fuel injection technology and use aluminum alloy cylinder heads and blocks. The Senova D20 has a body length, width, and height of 4040mm, 1720mm, and 1503mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2500mm. The drive mode is front-engine, front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and an E-type torsion beam suspension at the rear.
I usually commute with my Senova D20 and am quite familiar with its engines. This model was equipped with two options: a 1.3L naturally aspirated engine (model A131) producing about 75 kW, and a 1.5L version (model A151) delivering approximately 85 kW. My car has the 1.5L variant, which provides ample power for city driving with decent fuel consumption around 7L/100km. The engine features a simple four-cylinder design that's easy to maintain - routine oil and filter changes can be done at any standard repair shop. While it gets slightly noisy at higher RPMs on highways, it performs flawlessly for daily school runs. After several years of use, I've encountered no major issues. This powertrain from BAIC was also used in the E-Series, proving its reliability over time.
I've studied the engine specifications of the Senova D20, which uses BAIC's own A-series engine. The main powerplant is a 1.5L naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, model A151, with a maximum power output of 85 kW and peak torque of 148 N·m. This engine prioritizes smooth operation, featuring a cast iron cylinder block paired with an aluminum cylinder head, known for its durability though not particularly advanced in technology - lacking turbocharging or direct injection. It's paired with either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission, delivering adequate low-end torque for city driving but showing some strain during highway overtaking. As an entry-level model, its power is sufficient, with fuel consumption being average. The same engine is also used in the Senova X25, sharing components to help reduce maintenance costs.
