Which car shares the same engine as the Venucia R50?

[StRyder]

Venucia R50 shares the same engine with Dongfeng vehicles. Venucia is a brand for which Dongfeng acquired the technology from Nissan, meaning they purchased the technology of the TIIDA model, and now the technology belongs to Dongfeng. Function of the engine: The car engine is the device that provides power for the car, serving as the heart of the car, determining its power, economy, stability, and environmental friendliness. Materials used: Engine oil is the material used for the engine and is very important for it. Engine oil contains various additives that can effectively protect the important moving parts of the engine, ensuring its normal operation.

The Venucia R50 uses the same 1.6L HR16DE engine from Nissan, as my mechanic told me when I drove a Tiida before. This engine was first installed in the old Tiida and Latio models, and the familiar buzzing sound at high RPMs is instantly recognizable. Actually, it's not just Nissan cars; some Venucia models like the D50 also used the same engine. Although the technology isn't the newest, the reliability is unquestionable—my car has run 80,000 kilometers with only spark plugs replaced. If you ask me, when buying a used R50, the main thing to check is the engine condition. You can directly use Tiida's dismantled parts or repair components for replacements, and repair shops usually quote 30% cheaper than for other cars. Of course, don't mix chassis parts, as there are still some tuning differences between Nissan and Venucia.

Last month I just picked up a used R50 as a commuter car, and I specifically checked the engine model at that time. It's exactly the same as the 1.6L naturally aspirated HR16DE used in the Nissan Tiida from 2008 to 2012 - even the oil filter models are interchangeable. The 4S shop mechanic said the piston ring dimensions are identical down to the millimeter, so maintenance just follows the standard Tiida procedures. The best part is this Venucia was 20,000-30,000 yuan cheaper than same-year Tiidas - feels like a steal. Actually, the Latio and older Sunny models also used this engine series, just with slightly different tuning. Now driving it, the throttle response feels no different from the Tiida, with fuel consumption stable around 7L/100km, making it perfect for city commuting.

Having worked on cars for over a decade, I can recognize Nissan-series engines with my eyes closed. When you remove the engine cover of the Venucia R50, the camshaft layout of the HR16DE is identical to that of the Tiida. This engine was first installed in the Tiida Latio back in 2004 and continued to be used in subsequent generations of the Tiida. The most obvious example is when removing the throttle body—the positions of the mounting screws are exactly the same. For routine maintenance, 5W30 oil is recommended, and the filter can simply be purchased in the Tiida model. However, it's worth reminding owners that although the engine is interchangeable, using aftermarket ignition coils from the Tiida may trigger fault codes. When replacing the timing belt, I noticed that the tensioner pulley structure has been slightly optimized, which counts as one of the few minor improvements in the Venucia.
