Powertrain Core: Chery's fourth-generation 1.5-liter Miller cycle engine delivers a maximum power of 88 kW (120 hp) and a torque of 148 Nm. While the figures aren't spectacular, they are solid enough. The addition of the Miller cycle strikes a balance between efficiency and power.
Technological Highlights: The 350 Bar high-pressure fuel injection system ensures more complete combustion, improving thermal efficiency by 8%-12%. This technology, previously seen primarily in high-end vehicles, is now being made available in family cars, making it accessible to a wider range of consumers.
Transmission Matching: The 9-speed CVT transmission (some versions come with a 5-speed manual) has been awarded the title of "World's Top Ten Transmissions." Its smoothness is truly excellent; in city driving, gear shifts are virtually imperceptible.
Lightweight Design: Aerospace-grade aluminum alloy materials reduce the engine's weight by 30%, and the connecting rods are 1.2 kg lighter than the previous model. The direct benefit of this weight reduction is more responsive throttle.
