The engine of the Changan Lingxuan is independently produced by Changan Automobile and belongs to a domestically manufactured engine. The 1.5T version of the Changan Lingxuan uses the H15T-AA engine model, with a maximum power of 115kW, maximum torque of 225 Nm, and maximum horsepower of 156. The 1.6L version uses the JL478QEA engine model, with a maximum power of 92kW, maximum torque of 160 Nm, and maximum horsepower of 125. For daily maintenance of the Changan Lingxuan engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust system and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements; Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and keep the oil volume moderate; When oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and bring contaminants back to the lubrication parts, accelerating engine wear and internal pollution; Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gas, 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 powder from part wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, blocking filters and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear; Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures normal engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

I've been driving the Changan Lingxuan for almost three years now, and the 1.6L engine (model JL478QEA) has proven to be exceptionally durable. It averages around 7.5L/100km for city commuting. Last year, while helping a friend check out a used Lingxuan, I noticed the newer models had switched to a 1.5L engine (DFMC15 series) that's more powerful and fuel-efficient, which made me as an early adopter quite envious. Changan favors this powertrain—the 1.5T turbocharged engine in the Oushang A800 shares the same core technology. On highways, turbo engagement makes overtaking effortless, though I'd advise against long-term use of gasoline below 92 octane to prevent carbon buildup.

Once while helping a relative inspect a used Lingvan, I noticed the engine details. The base model comes with a DFMA15 1.5L naturally aspirated engine producing 81kW - not groundbreaking but perfectly adequate when paired with the manual transmission. The higher-spec JL476ZQCD 1.5T is far more impressive, featuring direct fuel injection technology and delivering 115kW, making it quite capable for pushing this MPV. Mechanics mentioned both models use maintenance-free timing chain designs, so just focus on checking spark plugs and engine mounts during servicing. The Lingvan's tightly packed engine bay makes DIY air filter replacement quite challenging.

At the 4S dealership, I've seen several powertrain configurations for the Lingxuan, with the main one being the Blue Core 1.5T engine, model JL476ZQCD. It delivers a maximum torque of 225 N·m starting from 2000 rpm, making it effortless even when fully loaded and climbing hills. The oil pan is specifically made of aluminum alloy for better heat dissipation, though the noise during cold starts in northern winters is slightly louder. I heard this engine is also used in the Raeton CC, paired with an Aisin 6AT, which is smoother than the Lingxuan's 5DCT.

How to Drive a Geely Automatic Transmission Car?

Geely automatic transmission cars are very easy to drive. You just need to understand what each gear means. Since automatic transmission cars do not require the driver to shift gears manually, there's no need to worry about stalling or similar issues. Simply move the gear lever to the corresponding position and press the accelerator to drive. Extension: The Geely Binyue has the following gears: R gear; N gear; P gear; D gear; M gear. The R gear is the reverse gear, which has the same function as the R gear in a manual transmission. Shift into R gear, press the accelerator, and the car will move backward. The N gear is the neutral gear, also the same as the neutral gear in a manual transmission. The P gear is the parking gear. After parking, you need to shift into P gear. The D gear is the drive gear. Shift into D gear, press the accelerator, and the car will move forward. The driver does not need to shift gears manually as the car will shift gears automatically.

Can a car change its color?

Yes, a car's color can be changed, but not all colors are permissible. Below are the relevant regulations regarding vehicle color modifications: 1. According to the revised version of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" (Order No. 124) issued by the Ministry of Public Security: Vehicle owners are allowed to change the body color first and then complete the registration process. The traffic management department has clear time limits for registration—within ten days after the color change, the owner must bring the "Motor Vehicle Modification Registration/Record Application Form," the original and a copy of the vehicle owner's ID, the original "Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate," the original "Motor Vehicle License," and other required documents to the vehicle management office to complete the modification registration. 2. It is explicitly stated that the body color cannot be the same as or similar to that of special-purpose vehicles: firefighting red, engineering rescue yellow, or the white-and-blue combination used for national administrative law enforcement. Vinyl wrap color changes cannot exceed one-third of the vehicle's surface area, and the body color cannot exceed three different colors.

How to Check the Car Battery Level?

Here are the methods to check the car battery level: 1. Observe through the inspection eye: green or blue indicates good condition; black or red indicates the need for charging; white indicates the battery needs replacement. 2. Test the battery voltage by connecting the starter in the car. With the engine at normal temperature, connect a voltmeter to the positive and negative terminals of the battery, unplug the fuel injector wire to prevent the engine from starting. Start the engine and let it run continuously for 5 to 10 seconds while observing the voltmeter reading. With the starter and wiring in good condition, a 12V battery voltage of 9.6V or higher indicates good battery condition; if the voltage is below the above value, it means the battery is undercharged and has insufficient power.

What are the differences between the 2019 and 2021 Civic models?

The differences between the 2019 and 2021 Civic models are as follows: The 2019 model is a sedan, while the 2021 model is currently a hatchback. It is worth mentioning that the sub-top trim of the new model will offer a manual transmission. The design largely follows the overseas version, but the car has been enhanced with a sporty body kit tailored to Chinese preferences, which strengthens the vehicle's sporty character and makes it more aggressive. Expansion: The Honda Civic (CIVIC) has introduced multiple models to cater to the tastes of consumers in different countries, including three-door hatchbacks, hardtop coupes, hybrid versions, and five-door sedan versions. The Honda Civic launched in the domestic market shares the same production platform as the existing Dongfeng Honda model, the Honda CR-V, and both vehicles use the same chassis, which technically provides the prerequisite for the domestic production of the Honda Civic.

What are the differences between NIO ES6 and EC6?

The differences between NIO ES6 and EC6 are as follows: The front face design of the NIO EC6 is basically identical to that of the ES6, with the only possible difference being the interior design of the grille. The EC6 uses chrome decorative strips while the ES6 does not. The traditional panoramic sunroof on the ES6 has been replaced with a panoramic glass roof on the EC6. In terms of configuration, the EC6 is unlikely to have any major differences from the ES6. Additional details: From the contour lines on the side of the body, it can be seen that the fenders and shoulder line design of the EC6 are exactly the same as those of the ES6. The biggest difference lies in the roof. The roof contour line of the EC6 starts to drop rapidly from the B-pillar all the way to the rear. Both models are equipped with two power configurations: a 160kw permanent magnet synchronous motor and a front 160kw permanent magnet synchronous motor paired with a rear 240kw AC asynchronous motor.
