What is the engine model equipped in the Lingpai?

The engine model equipped in the Lingpai is the Honda R18, which is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy. Taking the 2020 Lingpai as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4756 mm, width 1804 mm, height 1509 mm, wheelbase 2730 mm, and fuel tank capacity 40 liters. The 2020 Lingpai is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 80 kW and a maximum torque of 134 Nm. It is paired with an ECVT continuously variable transmission. The front suspension type is MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension type is torsion beam non-independent suspension.
As a car enthusiast, I'm particularly fascinated by the Honda Lingpai, thanks to its heart—the 1.0-liter turbocharged engine, model name L15B. This three-cylinder engine incorporates Honda's VTEC technology, paired with direct fuel injection, delivering a maximum output of 122 horsepower. It offers agile power response in city driving, with an average fuel consumption of just 5-6 liters per 100 kilometers, making it super economical. However, it feels slightly underpowered during high-speed cruising, especially when fully loaded or climbing hills, requiring a deeper press on the accelerator. The engine design is quite ingenious, utilizing a balance shaft to reduce vibrations, though minor tremors can still occasionally occur at idle or during cold starts—a common trait of three-cylinder engines. I've test-driven the 2023 hybrid version, equipped with the LFA e:HEV system, which further reduces fuel consumption to around 4 liters per 100 kilometers, making it more suitable for eco-conscious drivers. Routine maintenance is straightforward, requiring only an oil change every 5,000 kilometers, and the engine's reliability is strong, with no major issues even after several years of driving.
