Changan H15TG-AD's engine is the H15TG-AA engine, which won the title of China's Top 10 Engines in 2018 and was successfully launched with the new CS75. Here are the relevant introductions: 1. Core R&D capabilities: Changan Automobile possesses eight major core R&D capabilities in powertrain, including engine design, transmission development, CAE simulation, NVH evaluation, fuel injection matching, trial production, performance development, and vehicle integration. The overall R&D capabilities are leading among Chinese brands. 2. Achievements: Independently developed eight series of engines including H, D, EA, and S, with cumulative production and sales exceeding 10 million units. Among them, the D20TGDI engine won the title of China's Top 10 Engines in 2017.
As someone who frequents auto repair shops, I have a pretty deep impression of the Changan H15TG-AD engine. It's a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, used in popular models like the Changan CS55, delivering around 180 horsepower with substantial torque, making it quick off the line. During repairs, clogged fuel injectors are a common issue, mostly due to excessive carbon buildup or low-quality fuel; fortunately, maintenance is straightforward—just regular air filter and oil changes. The 'AD' suffix, I suspect, refers to an optimized control module for automatic transmissions, ensuring smoother acceleration. Over time, cooling system maintenance is crucial—don’t forget to flush the radiator, as overheating can damage the engine. Overall, it's a durable engine, easily handling 100,000 kilometers, but I’d advise beginners against reckless modifications.
