2 Answers
The Venucia M50V is equipped with two different engine models depending on the vehicle variant. 1. HR15 (with dual C-VTC and dual fuel injection system) engine: Standard Edition, Comfort Edition, and Elite Edition. 2. HR16 (with dual C-VTC and dual fuel injection system) engine: Leading Edition, Luxury Edition, Supreme Edition, and Flagship Edition. Below is an introduction about Venucia: Venucia is an automotive brand under Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd., established on September 8, 2010. It leverages the mature and reliable system strength and quality advantages from the joint venture between Dongfeng Motor Corporation and Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., and relies on the global technology platform of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance to create high-value automotive products for the Chinese market.
I've been driving the Venucia M50V for a while now, equipped with the Nissan HR16DE 1.6L naturally aspirated engine. This engine is truly reliable, offering smooth and quiet operation with decent fuel efficiency in city stop-and-go traffic—around 7 liters per 100 km. Maintenance is hassle-free, as Nissan parts are widely available, and even oil changes can be done at small repair shops. It performs steadily on long trips without the jerky feel of turbocharged engines. I’ve also driven the Sylphy from the same series with the same engine, and both prove to be durable. The appeal of an MPV lies in its spaciousness and hassle-free engine, and the HR16DE pairs perfectly with this car—delivering high value and practicality, making it the top choice for family trips.
