The lifespan of the Chery Flagcloud 2 engine is approximately 300,000 kilometers. The Flagcloud 2 is a compact 5-door, 5-seat hatchback with body dimensions of 4393mm in length, 1682mm in width, and 1424mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2468mm and tire specifications of 185/60R14. The Flagcloud 2 is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 80 kW at 6000 rpm and a maximum torque of 140 Nm. It features front-wheel drive, with a front suspension using MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear suspension using a longitudinal trailing arm non-independent suspension.
Speaking of the engine lifespan of the Chery Flagcloud 2, my own car ran nearly 200,000 kilometers before I replaced the engine. To be honest, routine maintenance is the most crucial, especially regular oil changes. I used to forget this often, resulting in severe carbon buildup inside. These domestic naturally aspirated engines are basically designed for a lifespan of 150,000-200,000 kilometers. Those driven harshly start burning or leaking oil much earlier. Also, keep an eye on the coolant temperature—engine overheating during summer highway drives in the south is a major cause of shortened lifespan. Additionally, regular cleaning of the throttle body and fuel injectors can save a lot on future repairs. If you hear any unusual noises, get it checked immediately. A friend of mine delayed and ended up with a blown cylinder head.
