Where is the Qoros 7 car engine produced?
2 Answers
The engine of the Qoros 7 is produced in Sichuan by Brilliance. This car uses BMW's Prince engine. The engine model used in the Qoros 7 is PSARFN10LH3X, with a maximum horsepower of 147 HP, a maximum power of 108 KW, a maximum power speed of 6000 rpm, and a peak torque of 200 N.m. For the daily maintenance of the Qoros 7's 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 of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to the mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the requirements specified by the manufacturer. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid faults, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and keep the oil volume moderate. When oil passes through the fine holes 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 pass through the bypass valve and bringing contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gas, acid, water, 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. When the amount is small, it suspends in the oil; when large, it precipitates from the oil, 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 engine works properly but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I recall that the engine production for the Qoros 7 is primarily based in China, specifically at Chery Automobile's engine manufacturing plants, such as the production base in Wuhu, Anhui. Qoros is a joint venture brand between Chery and an Israeli company, utilizing Chery's technology and production lines, so naturally, the engines are produced there. I previously researched this because the Qoros 7 SUV is quite popular—its 1.6T engine, made in China, ensures stable quality and reduces costs. If you're curious why it's produced in China, it's mainly to leverage local supply chains and labor advantages while avoiding high import tariffs. Overall, the engine's reliability is impressive—I've driven a friend's Qoros 7, and the acceleration was smooth with no issues, which left a strong impression. However, if you purchase it abroad, the production location might differ slightly, but the core remains Chinese-made.
