What engine is used in the Haval H4?
2 Answers
Haval H4 is equipped with a 1.5T engine, model GW4G15B. This GW4G15B 1.5T engine is independently developed by Great Wall Motors. Based on the GW4G15, it features a turbocharging system and is the high-power version of the GW4G15T. Below is the classification of automotive engines: 1. According to the working method of the intake system, they can be divided into four types: naturally aspirated, turbocharged, mechanically supercharged, and twin-charged. 2. According to the piston movement method, they can be divided into reciprocating piston internal combustion engines and rotary piston engines. 3. According to the cylinder arrangement, they can be divided into inline engines, V-type engines, W-type engines, and horizontally opposed engines. 4. According to the number of cylinders, they can be divided into single-cylinder engines and multi-cylinder engines. Modern cars mostly use three-cylinder, four-cylinder, six-cylinder, and eight-cylinder engines.
I previously drove a Haval H4, which primarily used a 1.5T turbocharged engine. The older models, like those from 2018, were equipped with the GW4G15B engine developed by Great Wall, delivering around 150 horsepower, which felt quite sufficient for daily driving. Later, starting with the 2019 model year, it was upgraded to the GW4G15F, still a 1.5T but with finer tuning, maintaining 150 horsepower while meeting the China VI emission standards, and offering smoother gear shifts. The most surprising was the H4 Pro version, which featured a high-power variant of the 1.5T engine, coded GW4B15A, boosting horsepower to 169, making highway overtaking particularly exhilarating. The biggest advantage of these engines is their affordable maintenance costs, given that Great Wall has used them for many years, and parts are readily available.
