Which country's engine does Qoros Auto use?
2 Answers
Qoros Auto's engine is Chinese, independently developed by Chery. The main technical features of Qoros Auto's 1.6T turbocharged engine include the adoption of dual VVT variable valve timing technology, with a maximum power output of 115 kW and a peak torque of 210 Nm. This engine utilizes a Honeywell Garrett turbocharger, equipped with an internal wastegate and an electronically controlled recirculation valve, but does not incorporate the currently popular twin-scroll single turbocharger technology. Variable valve timing technology is a mainstream feature in modern engines and is widely applied. Through the variable valve timing mechanism, the engine can achieve the effect of advancing or delaying valve closure, allowing it to ensure excellent intake and exhaust efficiency across various speed ranges according to different operating conditions, thereby enhancing engine performance.
As an automotive technology enthusiast, I understand that the engines used in Qoros cars primarily come from China's Chery company. Specifically, the early Qoros 3 and Qoros 5 models were equipped with 1.6L or 1.5T engines designed and produced by Chery, assembled at domestic manufacturing bases in China. These engines perform well in terms of performance—for example, the 1.5T turbocharged engine delivers smooth power output and excellent fuel efficiency, making it very economical for daily driving. Although Qoros is a Sino-Israeli joint venture brand, it has consistently adhered to localized engines to control costs and facilitate maintenance. After being acquired by Baoneng Group, the strategy of using Chinese-made engines continues, ensuring convenient supply of spare parts in the future. I believe these domestically produced engines are highly reliable and maintain good resale value in the used car market, so there’s no need to worry about engine quality when choosing a Qoros.
