2 Answers
GAC Trumpchi GS3 is equipped with two types of engines: the 4A13M1 1.3T (200T) and the 4A15K1 1.5L (150N). Here is an introduction to these two engines: 1. Both engines are independently developed and produced by Guangzhou Automobile Group Passenger Vehicle Co., Ltd.; 2. The 1.3T engine used in the Trumpchi GS3 incorporates many mature technologies commonly found in mainstream engines, which to some extent enhance the engine's operational efficiency and performance, such as low-inertia turbochargers, DVVT, variable displacement oil pumps, and roller rocker arms; 3. Some technical details reflect the dedication of GAC engineers to product performance, such as the independently developed oil-gas separator, aluminum alloy oil baffle, lightweight pistons/connecting rods, and forged crankshaft.
I've driven the GAC Trumpchi GS3, which typically comes with a 1.5-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine. The displacement is around 1.5 liters, delivering a maximum power of approximately 84 kW and a peak torque of about 150 Nm. It's quite practical for daily driving, with smooth but not rapid acceleration, and relatively low fuel consumption in the city. A full tank can easily cover 500-600 kilometers. The engine design takes emission compliance into account, meeting the China VI standard, and features variable valve technology to enhance efficiency. While it's not a high-performance engine, it excels in reliability and smoothness, making it ideal for family commuting. If you prioritize smoothness and hassle-free operation, this is a solid choice, though the noise is somewhat noticeable and sound insulation isn't particularly strong. Overall, this engine reflects GAC's positioning: robust and durable, perfect for daily commuting, but don't expect a thrilling sporty feel.
