Wuling Xingchen is equipped with SAIC-GM-Wuling engine. Characteristics of Wuling Xingchen engine: The Wuling Xingchen engine uses a 1.5T four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 108kW and a peak torque of 250Nm. Based on the adjustment of this engine, this engine is biased towards home use in terms of power output, and the lower torque performance will be improved. Advantages of Wuling Xingchen engine: The Wuling Xingchen engine can significantly increase the power and torque of the engine without increasing the engine displacement. After installing a turbocharger on the engine of this car, its maximum output power can be increased by about 40% or more compared to that without a turbocharger.
My own Wuling Xing Chen is an SUV I bought last year, equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine from the DVVT series. It drives particularly smoothly and effortlessly in the city. For daily commuting, this engine provides enough power to handle stop-and-go traffic at traffic lights, and it's super fuel-efficient, costing only about 0.6 yuan per kilometer. Oil changes during maintenance are also inexpensive, making it a great value for young people in my opinion. On the highway, the engine noise is quite quiet, with stable RPM and no abnormal vibrations, demonstrating good overall reliability. Although it doesn’t have the strongest horsepower, paired with Wuling’s lightweight body design, the fuel consumption stays below 8 liters per 100 kilometers, making it especially suitable for new car owners on a budget.
As a driver with over a decade of experience, I'm very familiar with the Wuling Xingchen's engine. Most models are equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine producing 100-150 horsepower, known for its durability – it rarely breaks down even after 2-3 years of use. The simple engine design makes maintenance hassle-free; oil changes and filter replacements can be done DIY for under 100 RMB. It delivers smooth, stable power whether hauling cargo or on long trips, with fuel consumption averaging 7-9L/100km, performing reliably on rural roads. Compared to engines in similar-class vehicles, it's more affordable with lower failure rates, saving significant repair costs – ideal for practicality-focused buyers.
