What is the Oley car?
2 Answers
Oley is a compact car under the FAW Oley brand. Here are the relevant details: 1. The Oley is a compact hatchback equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. 2. The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power output of 75 kW and a peak torque of 135 Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 6000 rpm and the peak torque at 4400 rpm. This engine features multi-point fuel injection technology and utilizes an aluminum cylinder head with an iron cylinder block. It is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission. 3. The Oley uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear. 4. The Oley has been discontinued.
I remember Oley was an in-house brand launched by FAW Besturn around 2012, targeting the youth market with compact cars. It was marketed as having "German genes", but in reality, it just used the old Bora's PQ32 platform. There were both hatchback and sedan versions, with a 1.5L engine, priced around 60,000-70,000 yuan. They even got Li Yongbo as the spokesperson, but for some reason, it sold terribly and was rarely seen in dealerships. As for features, the red-black interior color scheme was quite flashy, but the rear legroom was painfully tight. A friend who bought a used one said the suspension was uncomfortably stiff. It's long discontinued now, though you might occasionally find one in the used car market.
