What engine is used in the BAIC Huansu H3?
2 Answers
The BAIC Huansu H3 is equipped with the BJ415C engine model, delivering a maximum horsepower of 113 HP, a maximum power output of 83 KW at 6000 rpm, and a peak torque of 150 Nm. The engine of the BAIC Huansu H3 is assembled by BAIC Co., Ltd., with technology provided by BAIC, making this engine domestically produced. For the daily maintenance of the BAIC Huansu H3 engine, the following methods can be employed: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will deteriorate during use. After a certain mileage, performance degradation can lead to various engine issues. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. In small amounts, the sludge remains suspended in the oil; in large amounts, it precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Periodically use a radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale deposits not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I remember when driving the BAIC Huansu H3, it was equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, model BJ415C. As a family car, this engine provided adequate power. It accelerated smoothly in stop-and-go city traffic—not particularly powerful but stable enough. On the highway, it ran quietly with a fuel consumption of around 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers, which was economical and cost-effective for a commuter like me. Over two years of driving, it never had any major issues—just a few oil changes and minor maintenance, proving to be quite durable. The engine noise was well-controlled, though the power dipped slightly when the air conditioning was on during summer. Still, it had enough strength for family trips. The only minor drawback was the slightly sluggish response during cold starts, requiring a 10-second warm-up. Otherwise, I was quite satisfied with it.
