What engine is used in the Changhe Q35 car?

The Changhe Q35 series is equipped with an engine independently developed by BAIC Motor, which is a domestically produced engine. The engine model of the Changhe Q35 car is A151, with a maximum power of 85kW, a maximum torque of 148Nm, and a maximum horsepower of 116Ps. For daily maintenance of the Changhe Q35 car's 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 systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to the mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the requirements specified by the manufacturer. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, the performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid failures, the oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept 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 the oil cannot pass through the filter element, it will either burst the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing the oil to bypass through the bypass valve, bringing dirt back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and internal pollution. 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 the cylinder wall, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, blocking the filter and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and the engine.
I've driven the Changhe Q35, which is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine. The displacement is decent but not too large, making it perfectly adequate for daily city driving. I've used it on a mix of highways and urban roads, and the power delivery is smooth with no sluggishness during acceleration. The average fuel consumption is around 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers, which is quite economical. The engine noise is very quiet at idle, and while there's a bit of a hum at high speeds, it's still acceptable—nothing like the noise from some high-displacement vehicles. Maintenance is also convenient, as it can be handled at either 4S shops or local repair shops, and the parts are affordable. Routine services like oil changes and air filter replacements cost only a few hundred yuan a year. I think the design is well-suited for family use or new drivers. It's reliable—I haven't had any major issues in two years of ownership—and comfortable to drive, which is what matters most.
