Where is the MG6 engine produced?

The MG6 car engine is jointly developed by SAIC Group and General Motors, and is produced in SAIC's engine factory. The MG6 engine model is 18K4C, with a maximum power of 124kw, a maximum torque of 250Nm, a maximum power speed of 5500rpm, and a maximum torque speed of 170 Nm. The following methods can be used for daily maintenance of the MG6 engine: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of 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 specified requirements; Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid faults, oil should be changed regularly based on usage conditions, and the oil quantity should be moderate; 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 blocked and oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, bringing dirt back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution; Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gas, acid, 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 part wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, blocking the filter and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear.; Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I've researched this car. The engines used in the current MG6 are mostly manufactured by SAIC themselves. The older models used British Ford technology, but after the 2017 model change, they switched to the 'SAIC Blue Core' series engines. The current main 1.5T turbocharged engine in sale is produced at SAIC's Zhengzhou engine plant, model number 15C4E. The Zhengzhou plant is SAIC's engine headquarters, equipped with precision inspection devices from Germany's Zeiss, with an assembly line automation rate exceeding 99%. Just the cylinder block processing goes through 72 steps. Key components like Bosch high-pressure injectors and Honeywell turbos are globally sourced, but the complete engine is indeed assembled in China. The new 2.0T Black Label version also uses SAIC's self-developed third-generation Blue Core, with actual tests showing 197 horsepower and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of just over 6 seconds, making its power parameters even more impressive than the Civic's.
