The air intake of the Levin is located under the hood. Below are specific details about the Levin: Interior The Levin Hybrid version is largely similar to the standard model, with key changes including a new gear lever and redesigned instrument panel, along with a carbon fiber-patterned panel on the center console. The LCD screen in the center of the instrument panel can display more comprehensive information, including energy flow status, multimedia system, compass, and vehicle details. Powertrain The Levin Hybrid is equipped with a 1.8L Atkinson-cycle naturally aspirated engine, which delivers a maximum power output of 99Ps at 5200rpm and a peak torque of 142Nm at 4000rpm. It also features a permanent magnet synchronous motor with an output of 72Ps and peak torque of 207Nm. The combined system output is 136Ps, paired with an E-CVT transmission. The official combined fuel consumption is rated at 4.2L/100km.
As a frequent driver of a Levin, I can locate the air intake. It's hidden behind the front grille of the car, that mesh-like part at the front, usually positioned slightly lower. I remember one time when the throttle felt sluggish, and upon opening the hood, I found the intake clogged with leaves and dust—cleaning it out was necessary to let the engine breathe properly. The air intake connects to a thick tube leading to the air filter, designed this way to efficiently draw in air during high-speed driving. Try to avoid muddy roads to prevent dust buildup, which can affect power or increase fuel consumption. For regular maintenance, I gently rinse the grille area with a water spray to prevent debris accumulation, checking it every six months for hassle-free upkeep.
