That BAIC Changhe Q35 is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, model JL473Q, produced by Chongqing Lifan Engine Plant. It delivers a maximum power of 85 kW and a peak torque of 150 N·m. As a car enthusiast who has driven many vehicles, I find this engine performs particularly smoothly in urban conditions, with linear and straightforward acceleration—not a performance beast but sufficient for daily use. Fuel consumption is well controlled, around 7.2 liters per 100 km, making it economical and eco-friendly for city commuting. In terms of reliability, I drove a friend’s Q35 for nearly two years, and the engine hardly had any issues—just regular oil changes with standard oil. While it may feel underpowered compared to some larger-displacement SUVs, it offers high value for money in its price range and is worth considering. The overall design emphasizes practicality and affordability, making it especially suitable for budget-conscious young buyers.

I just bought a BAIC Changhe Q35 last year and have been very impressed with its engine. It comes equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated JL473Q engine that delivers 85 kW of power, providing a smooth driving experience. Daily driving is effortless; the acceleration isn't particularly fast but responds promptly, and the fuel consumption is quite reasonable—a full tank can cover over 500 kilometers, saving me a lot on gas money. Maintenance is simple; an oil change at the repair shop costs just a few hundred yuan. As a new car owner, I find this vehicle very user-friendly, with minimal engine noise and excellent vibration control, proving to be stable and reliable over long-term use. The spacious interior makes weekend family outings a breeze. While it doesn't offer a racing feel, it scores full marks for practicality.

What brand is the car with a horse in the middle?

The car with a horse in the middle is Ferrari. The brand was founded by Enzo Ferrari and specializes in the development of sports cars and racing cars. Introduction to Ferrari: The founder of Ferrari naturally incorporated elements of the national flag into the car emblem, symbolizing not only the country but also representing the thrilling Italian "racing red." The prancing horse emblem originates from the lucky totem on the aircraft of a famous Italian pilot during World War I. If you ask what best represents the spirit of Ferrari, the high-leaping horse on the emblem is the best answer, embodying passion, speed, and strength. Other Ferrari Models: Main products include the Roma, SF90 Stradale, F8 Tributo, and others. Beyond the familiar prancing horse, Ferrari's shield includes other elements. The yellow background is inspired by the canary of Modena, commemorating Enzo Ferrari's hometown, while the green, white, and red colors at the top represent the Italian flag.

What is the difference between 1.5L and 1.5T cars?

Here are the differences between 1.5L and 1.5T cars: 1. Different working principles: (1) A 1.5L naturally aspirated car relies on negative pressure in the cylinder to draw in air, and the concentration of air drawn into the cylinder is normal. (2) A 1.5T car's turbocharger derives its kinetic energy from the car's exhaust gases, hence the turbo is also called an exhaust turbo. The exhaust gases expelled by the engine impact the turbine, driving the impeller on the other side to compress air, which is then sent into the engine. This results in more complete fuel combustion and stronger power. 2. Different fuel consumption: (1) The 1.5T has higher fuel consumption because the turbocharger compresses more air into the cylinder, and the engine's electronic fuel injection system adjusts the fuel injection amount based on the air intake, increasing fuel injection as air intake rises. (2) The 1.5L has lower fuel consumption. 3. Different prices: Because a 1.5T car engine includes an additional turbocharger, 1.5T cars are more expensive. 4. Different levels of development maturity: Naturally aspirated engines were the first to appear, while turbocharging was developed by adding a turbocharger to the naturally aspirated engine. Naturally aspirated cars have more mature technology, and naturally aspirated engines are more reliable.

What is the function of a fuel pressure regulator?

Fuel pressure regulator is used to regulate the fuel pressure to the injector, so that the difference between the fuel pressure in the fuel line and the intake manifold pressure remains constant. In this way, the amount of fuel injected from the injector depends solely on the opening time of the injector, allowing the electronic control unit to precisely control the fuel injection quantity by controlling the width of the electrical pulse. Introduction to fuel pressure regulator: The fuel pressure regulator is a device that adjusts the fuel pressure entering the injector according to the change of intake manifold vacuum, so that the difference between the fuel pressure and the intake manifold pressure remains unchanged, and the injection pressure remains constant under different throttle openings. Working principle of fuel pressure regulator: The fuel pressure regulator is actually an overflow valve controlled by a diaphragm. When the fuel pressure in the fuel chamber rises beyond the combined force of the spring pressure and the vacuum gas pressure, the diaphragm arches upward, the regulator valve opens, and part of the fuel flows back to the fuel tank through the return port from the ball valve, reducing the fuel pressure. When the pressure drops to the set control pressure of the regulator, the ball valve closes to maintain a certain pressure in the fuel line from the one-way valve of the fuel pump to the pressure regulator.

Is the Yellow Water Faucet Light on the Dashboard Serious?

The yellow water faucet light on the dashboard is not serious. The water faucet symbol is the engine knock indicator. When the yellow light of the water faucet symbol is on, it indicates a common fault in the car's engine. Since it is a yellow light, the fault is not very severe. If it were a red light, the situation would be more serious, requiring immediate stopping and inspection. The relevant introduction to the knock sensor is as follows: Introduction to the Knock Sensor: The knock sensor is installed in the middle of the engine block to measure the degree of engine vibration. It adjusts the ignition timing when engine knock occurs. Working Principle of the Knock Sensor: The knock sensor is an AC signal generator, but it differs significantly from most other automotive AC signal generators. In addition to detecting the speed and position of the rotating shaft like the magnetic crankshaft and camshaft position sensors, it also detects vibration or mechanical pressure. Unlike stators and reluctors, it is usually a piezoelectric device. It is composed of special materials that can sense mechanical pressure or vibration (such as generating AC voltage when engine knock occurs).
