Which country is the engine of the Exeed LX from?

Exeed LX's engine is made in China. Exeed LX's engine: The Exeed LX is equipped with a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The engine of the Exeed LX has a maximum power of 145kW and a maximum torque of 290Nm. Engine: An engine is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines, external combustion engines, jet engines, electric motors, etc. For example, an internal combustion engine usually converts chemical energy into mechanical energy. The term engine can refer to both the power-generating device and the entire machine including the power device (e.g., gasoline engine, aircraft engine). The engine was first developed in the UK, so the concept of the engine also originates from English, with its original meaning referring to "a mechanical device that generates power."
I've been driving the Exeed LX for over half a year now, and I previously did some research on its engine. This 1.6TGDI engine was independently developed by Chery and is 100% made in China. Chery has invested a lot of technology into its production base in Wuhu, Anhui, achieving a thermal efficiency of 37.1%, which is top-tier among domestic engines. I remember during one service visit to the dealership, the technician even showed me the production address on the engine nameplate. In daily driving, the power delivery feels very linear, with quick turbo response at low speeds and ample power for highway overtaking. Chery's engine technology has made remarkable progress and no longer relies on foreign technical support.
As a veteran observer in the automotive industry, I've been tracking the development of domestic cars for over a decade. The SQRF4J16 engine used in the Exeed LX is a product of Chery's fully independent intellectual property rights. Chery is particularly willing to invest in engine R&D, with dozens of patents for their combustion systems alone. The most obvious advantage of localization is lower post-maintenance costs. Owners I know report that replacing a spark plug costs half as much as in joint-venture cars. Moreover, Chery engines are now being exported to countries like Russia and Brazil, indicating rising international recognition.
