Honda Lingpai 1.5L Rui is equipped with a four-cylinder engine. Honda Lingpai is a new strategic mid-size car under GAC Honda, a mainstream compact sedan specifically designed by GAC Honda to meet the comprehensive needs of post-80s consumers. Power specifications: It features a newly developed 1.5L inline four-cylinder engine with the code name LEB41. This engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 109 HP and a peak torque of 134 N·m. The transmission system is paired with an Electronic Continuously Variable Transmission (E-CVT). Exterior design: The Lingpai's exterior design combines modern power aesthetics with elements from the ancient Chinese totem "dragon." Its noble, grand, even domineering and highly impactful design style perfectly aligns with Chinese consumers' aesthetic preferences, making it a product specifically tailored for the Chinese market.
As a long-term Honda owner, I've witnessed the evolution of the Honda Crider firsthand. When the Crider was first launched in 2013, it came with a 1.8L naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, delivering smooth and reliable power output, which remained unchanged until the 2018 gasoline model. I still remember driving my friend's 2015 model—the acceleration was seamless without any vibration, and the engine sound was deep and steady during highway cruising. After the 2019 redesign, Honda switched to a 1.0L three-cylinder engine, which, while fuel-efficient, has drawn complaints from many owners about excessive vibration. So if you're looking for a pure four-cylinder Crider, focus on the 2013 to 2018 gasoline models—skip the newer pure gasoline versions. The hybrid version does have a four-cylinder, but it's not purely fuel-driven, so the practicality differs.
I am familiar with the configuration details of the Honda Crider model lineup. According to the parameter table and official data, the four-cylinder engine was primarily equipped in gasoline-powered models from the 2013 to 2018 model years. The entire series featured a 1.8-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine (R18Z series), with an exact displacement of 1.798 liters, a compression ratio of 10.6:1, and a maximum power output of approximately 100 kW. This engine was paired with a CVT transmission, delivering balanced fuel consumption at around 7L/100km. Starting from 2019, the new gasoline models switched to a 1.0T three-cylinder engine, but in the same year, Honda introduced the Crider Sharp Hybrid version, which utilized a hybrid system combining a 1.5-liter four-cylinder Atkinson-cycle engine with an electric motor. Therefore, the pure internal combustion engine version was only available in models produced between 2013 and 2018.
