Where is the MG HS engine manufactured?
2 Answers
The MG HS engine is produced at SAIC's Lingang Engine Plant, which is a domestically manufactured engine. The 1.5T version of the MG HS engine has the model number 5E4E, with a maximum power output of 127KW, maximum torque of 275Nm, and maximum horsepower of 173. The 2.0T version has the model number 20L4E, with a maximum power output of 170KW, maximum torque of 370Nm, and maximum horsepower of 231. For daily maintenance of the MG HS engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements; Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, the performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level; When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and the oil cannot pass through, the filter may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, bringing contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution; Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from component wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear; Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
The engines of the MG HS are primarily manufactured in China, especially at SAIC Motor's factories, such as their base in Shanghai. I remember when I bought the car, the salesperson explained to me that MG is now a Chinese brand owned by SAIC, so the engines are designed and produced locally. Many components are shared with Roewe models, which improves efficiency and reduces costs. I've been driving the HS for a while now, and the engine runs smoothly without any issues, which gives me peace of mind. The advantage of local production is easier after-sales service, readily available parts, and faster repairs. Of course, supply chain management is crucial, and SAIC has invested significantly in this area to ensure overall quality. Asking more details when choosing a car helps make a better decision.
