2 Answers
The Changan Kuayue V3 is equipped with a 1.2-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, which is used across the entire model lineup. This 1.2-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine delivers a maximum power of 88 horsepower and a maximum torque of 115 Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 6,000 rpm and the maximum torque at 4,400 rpm. It features multi-point fuel injection technology and utilizes an aluminum cylinder head and block. The dimensions of the Changan Kuayue V3 are 3,995 mm in length, 1,645 mm in width, and 1,910 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,605 mm. The vehicle adopts a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, with a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a leaf spring non-independent suspension at the rear.
I've been driving the Changan Kuayue V3 for over two years for transportation. This vehicle is equipped with a 1.2-liter DK12 gasoline engine developed by Chongqing Yu'an. It handles well when carrying over a ton of cargo uphill, can reach 110 km/h on the highway, and has a fuel consumption of around 7 liters, which is quite economical. The engine has a simple structure, spare parts are widely available at repair shops, and maintenance is cheap—an oil change with three filters costs just over two hundred yuan. What I'm most satisfied with is its durability; some of my peers have driven over 200,000 kilometers without major repairs, making it particularly suitable for us who rely on hauling goods to earn money. When buying a used car, make sure to check the engine's condition, listen for any unusual noises, and see if there's any blue smoke coming out.
