I've been driving the Changan Kuayue V3 for a while now. It's equipped with a 1.0-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine, commonly referred to as the JL466Q1. The power performance is moderate, with smooth acceleration that's not too aggressive, making it perfectly suitable for daily city commuting. On the highway, the wind noise is slightly noticeable, but the engine noise control is quite good. It's quite fuel-efficient, consuming about 6-7 liters per 100 kilometers, and it doesn't struggle even when carrying cargo. Maintenance is convenient with fewer components, making it hassle-free, and basic servicing every 5,000 kilometers is sufficient. Over time, I've found it to be very reliable. In summer, the power drops slightly when the air conditioning is on, but overall, it's very durable. It's affordable, making it ideal for small businesses or family transportation. I recommend regular checks on the spark plugs and engine oil after purchase to maintain optimal performance.
