Which company's engine does the Hanteng X5 use?
2 Answers
Hanteng X5 uses a self-produced engine. The entire lineup of this car is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Hanteng X5 is a model under Hanteng Motors, with dimensions of 4501mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1648mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2600mm. In terms of interior, the car features a warm design with dual-tone upholstery and wood grain trim, equipped with a 9-inch central control screen that includes the Hanteng Cloud Intelligent Network Service System, providing functions such as remote diagnosis, remote control, and navigation. In terms of configuration, the car is equipped with one-button start-stop, EPB electronic parking brake, automatic parking, panoramic sunroof, and more.
I drive the Han Teng X5 1.5T model, which is equipped with the Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi 4A91T engine. My friend's 1.5L naturally aspirated version comes with the 4G15 engine. Mitsubishi engines have been used in many domestic cars—they're stable but the power is just average. This engine delivers a maximum of 152 horsepower, which is absolutely sufficient for city commuting, though it feels a bit sluggish when overtaking on the highway. If you're buying used, pay attention to the turbo condition—I've heard the early models had issues with the turbo bypass valve sticking. The fuel consumption is decent in my opinion, around 8L/100km in the city, and experienced drivers can get it down to about 7L/100km. For regular maintenance, use 5W-30 full synthetic oil, and avoid small workshops when replacing the three filters—parts for this car are easy to find.
