What engine is used in the GAC Honda Vezel?
2 Answers
GAC Honda Vezel is equipped with the L15B 1.5-liter direct-injection engine and the 1.8L i-VTEC engine. The Vezel is GAC Honda's first SUV, developed on Honda's new vehicle platform and officially launched on October 25, 2014. Here are the introductions of these two engines: 1. The 1.5L engine, codenamed L15B2, adopts Honda's Earth Dreams Technology. Its maximum power and torque are 96kW/6600rpm and 155N·m/4600rpm, respectively. 2. The 1.8-liter naturally aspirated i-VTEC engine does not use Honda's Earth Dreams Technology. The maximum power and torque of this engine are 100kw/6500rpm and 169N·m/4300rpm, respectively.
I drive a GAC Honda Vezel, equipped mainly with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, such as Honda's i-VTEC series. The power delivery is very smooth, perfectly adequate for daily commuting. My typical city driving for work averages around 6.5L/100km, which is quite economical. It handles inclines effortlessly, especially with the CVT transmission providing linear power output. Occasionally on long trips, the engine remains notably quiet, and maintenance costs are low—just regular oil and filter changes. Honda's reliability is truly commendable; after several years of driving, no major issues have arisen, making it ideal for family use. It's easy for young drivers or beginners to handle, without the aggressiveness of turbocharged engines.
