Where is the 15e4e engine produced?
2 Answers
15e4e engine is independently developed by SAIC Motor, and it is produced at SAIC's Lingang factory. The 15e4e is a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 124 kW, reaching its peak power at 5,600 rpm, and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. The 15e4e engine utilizes direct fuel injection technology, and both the cylinder head and block are made of aluminum alloy. The technologies employed in the 15e4e engine include: centrally mounted direct injection, a small-inertia turbocharger, a fuel injection system with a pressure of 200 bar, an integrated exhaust manifold, and a variable displacement oil pump.
I've always been focused on car engines, and the 15e4E engine is Suzuki's flagship product, primarily manufactured in Japanese factories, with core components produced at facilities like the one in Shiga Prefecture. But did you know? In the global market, its production is quite decentralized. For instance, in India, Maruti Suzuki assembles this engine in large quantities for their popular Swift model—it delivers smooth power output, is fuel-efficient, and reliable. I’ve discussed this in car enthusiast groups—factories in Thailand also produce certain variants for the Southeast Asian market, reflecting Suzuki’s global strategy. When buying a new car, the production location is usually noted in the manual, often customized based on the sales region. Personally, I’ve driven a car equipped with the 15e4E and found it very smooth for city driving, with hardly any issues—all thanks to their consistent quality control.
