2 Answers
The Senova X35 is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, which has a maximum power of 85kW and a maximum torque of 148Nm. This engine features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission. The Senova X35 is a compact SUV, featuring MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear. The interior space of the Senova X35 is relatively spacious, with the vehicle's dimensions being 4300mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1640mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2570mm.
I remember when I studied the Senova X35 before, I found it was equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, model BAIC's in-house A151, with 85 kW of power and 148 Nm of torque. This engine performs well in urban conditions, with smooth acceleration and reasonable fuel consumption, averaging around 7 liters per 100 km, making it suitable for daily commuting. I've also driven this car on long trips—while high-speed acceleration isn't particularly strong, noise control is decent, and engine vibration is minimal. Compared to turbocharged versions, this 1.5L engine is simpler to maintain, with cheaper parts and a longer lifespan. Its design draws on BAIC's mature technology, offering high reliability. Common issues include slight abnormal noises during cold starts, but overall, it's trustworthy. The main appeal lies in its cost-effectiveness and practicality.
