Engine Type:
Likely inline-4 cylinder, naturally aspirated gasoline engines (specific displacements vary by market and configuration).
Engine Code Examples:
Commonly found with engines in the 1.1L to 1.3L range, e.g., variants of the Chery ACTECO engine family.
Horsepower Range:
Typically between 60-85 hp, depending on engine displacement and tuning.
Torque Range:
Approximately 80-110 Nm, depending on engine specification.
Fuel Delivery:
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI), likely multi-point injection.
Timing Belt Replacement:
Recommended replacement interval typically between 60,000 - 90,000 km, refer to manual for exact specification.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Standard iridium spark plugs usually have a longer life, check manual for recommended interval and part numbers.
Transmission Type:
5-speed manual transmission
Transmission Type:
Often available with an automated manual transmission (AMT) or a traditional automatic transmission.
Clutch Type:
Hydraulically actuated dry single-plate clutch for manual variants.
Manual Transmission Fluid Type:
API GL-4, SAE 75W-90 or 80W-90 gear oil. Consult manual for precise specification and capacity.
Automatic Transmission Fluid Type:
Specific ATF fluid, consult manual for exact type (e.g., Dexron III or equivalent) and capacity.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 5,000-7,500 km or 6-12 months, depending on driving conditions and oil type used. Refer to manual for specific recommendation.
Engine Oil Viscosity:
Commonly 5W-30 or 10W-40, depending on climate. Always verify with the manual for specific engine requirements.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant with anti-corrosive additives. Use a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Refer to manual for specific Chery approved coolant.
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid.
Electrical Gremlins:
Reports of minor electrical issues, such as faulty sensors or intermittent power to accessories, can occur as vehicles age.
Suspension Wear:
Due to its compact size and city-oriented design, suspension components like bushings and ball joints may show wear over time, especially with hard usage.
Build Quality Consistency:
Early models may exhibit variations in fit and finish, and some components might be less durable than those in higher-segment vehicles.
