Many joint venture brands will introduce their new engines to China this year, and most of them are products that we have been waiting for for for a long time. Next, please prepare paper towels and wipe your saliva!
Volkswagen 1.5TSI? Evo engine
Main vehicles: FAW-Volkswagen New Generation Golf.
Recently about Volkswagen 1.5TSI? The news that the evo engine will be put into production in China is very popular. FAW-Volkswagen Chengdu plant will carry out technical transformation for this purpose, and it is estimated that the annual production capacity of 600,000 vehicles will be achieved. The code name of this engine is also EA2 1 1, which is the same as the 1.5L engine on FAW-Volkswagen Bora, and it is also an upgraded version of the 1.4TSI engine used by Volkswagen for many years.
Volkswagen 1.5TSI? After the evo engine is made in China, it may be the first to be mounted on FAW-Volkswagen's new generation golf, gradually replacing the existing 1.4TSI engine and fully promoting it to more FAW-Volkswagen models. Of course, the new generation A3 of FAW-Volkswagen Audi, which just rolled off the production line, came earlier than the new generation golf, and may have been equipped with this new engine. In addition, another partner of Volkswagen in China market, SAIC Volkswagen, has not been forgotten, and they are also preparing to put this engine into production.
Technically, 1.5TSI? Evo engine has added more advanced technologies, such as VTG variable cross-section blade turbine, plasma cylinder wall coating and 350bar high-pressure direct injection system. Although the power parameters are not greatly improved, the thermal efficiency will be improved to 37.5%, and the fuel economy and emissions will be better.
In fact, as early as 20 16, Volkswagen Golf (commonly known as 7.5-generation golf) was the first to carry 1.5TSI? Evo engine. Today, the overseas golf series has been upgraded to the eighth generation and continues to carry this engine, while the domestic golf series is still in the stage of preparation and production. Volkswagen's "slow-fire" operation is a little passive in the highly competitive China automobile market.
You know, the Japanese brand rivals that Volkswagen has to face dare to introduce the latest engines into China. For example, Honda will soon be able to launch the "Earth Dream Technology" series of engines together with new models. In the TNGA era, Toyota boldly put the thermal efficiency as high as 465,438+0%. Force? Engine series engines are put into the domestic market; Even Nissan, which has always been reluctant to introduce new technologies, has released the VC-TURBO with variable compression ratio? 2.0T engine brought in. Whether these engines are imported or not, they do give consumers a much stronger sense of freshness.
However, new technology is also a double-edged sword. Due to the lack of long-term use verification, these new engines will have some unexpected quality problems more or less. Honda also had problems such as carbon deposition and increased engine oil at first, and Toyota has also had a lot of engine oil emulsification recently. At that time, Volkswagen also stepped on the pit in the China market, and the problem of burning engine oil became a widely circulated joke.
So, Volkswagen is slow 1.5TSI? Evo engine may be to have more time to do domestic road adaptability tests and reduce the risk of problems. Of course, the courier brother doesn't want to be the 1.5TSI of the public in the future? The quality of the evo engine is simply nine Niu Yi hairs.
Nissan 1.3T engine
Main models: Dongfeng Nissan new generation hackers
Recently, Dongfeng Nissan 1.3T engine commissioning bidding project is also one of the hot spots. Although the tender information was announced as early as 20 19 1 1, it may imply that the project is progressing smoothly.
This 1.3T engine, code-named HR 13DDT, was actually released overseas as early as 20 17, and was carried on overseas Nissan hackers. This engine is actually the product of cooperation between Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance and Daimler Group. Therefore, the 1.3T engine and GLB equipped by Dongfeng Renault Kolebin and Beijing Benz A-class have certain technical similarities.
Judging from the dynamic parameters, the performance of Nissan's 1.3T engine is still remarkable. Although it is conservative compared with Toyota and Honda, there is no bright spot in technology except the unique triangular cylinder head design. However, compared with the 1.2T engine before Nissan, this 1.3T engine is obviously improved.
Dongfeng Nissan hacker, which was redesigned in the mid-term in China, did not carry this engine simultaneously. However, since the news of production has come out, it is estimated that the next generation of hackers will also carry this 1.3T engine, even on other models of Dongfeng Nissan.
In the case that small-displacement turbocharging has already become the mainstream, Nissan still insists on using a variety of so-called mature naturally aspirated engines in the China market. Take Nissan's most famous 1.6L engine as an example. Even the latest version of the brand-new Sylphy is only changed into the manifold injection form with double nozzles, which can be said to have been patched for another three years and redefined the slogan of "Nissan by Science and Technology".
However, what about the VC-TURBO "black technology" with variable compression ratio? After the launch of the 2.0T engine, Nissan finally saved some face. Moreover, Nissan has begun to introduce more new engines and technologies to the domestic market, and this change is worthy of recognition.
Mazda SKYACTIV-X? 2.0 liter engine
Main models: Changan Mazda 3? Aksela
On October 2018110, a new generation of Mazda 3 was officially released overseas. About half a year later, Changan Mazda quickly introduced it to the domestic market and called it the next generation Mazda 3? Angkeira. But what is the most anticipated SKYACTIV-X? The 2.0L engine was not launched synchronously.
But you don't have to be disappointed, because this engine is expected to be introduced into China this year, and it will be the first to be carried on the next generation Mazda 3? Enceladus, above. In addition, it is expected that the domestic Mazda CX-30 released this year will also be equipped with this brand-new engine.
Mazda has always liked to study some technologies that others dare not think about, SKYACTIV-X? The 2.0L engine is an upgraded product of Chuangchi Blue Sky Technology. The legendary HCCI (Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition) technology is added. With its ultra-high compression ratio of 16.3: 1, it is directly ignited by piston compression, which is similar to the ignition mode of diesel engine. The ultimate goal of this technology is to improve engine efficiency and achieve the effect of fuel saving and emission reduction. Whether you are a Mazda fan or not, this "black technology" will make people feel unclear.
Unfortunately, Mazda, which has been fascinated by wonderful technology research, is not as ideal as expected in sales. Taking the sales volume in China in 20 19 as an example, Mazda achieved 227,750 vehicles, with a simultaneous decline of 16.37%, which is still far from the sales target of 270,000 vehicles.
Moreover, Mazda will "close its doors and practice" in the next two years and will not launch new products for the time being. Their purpose is to prepare for big moves and finally release an earth-shattering model. In the fierce market competition, if we stop for two years, the automobile world will probably undergo earth-shaking changes.
It is undeniable that Mazda's persistence in technology should be greatly praised. It's a pity that Mazda is too headstrong, and its demand for the mainstream market is almost uncompromising, even running counter to it. This "defeated" development model is very risky, and I am most afraid that their big moves will get cold before they are suppressed.
Toyota 1.5L three-cylinder engine
Main vehicles: GAC Toyota Lei Ling.
Toyota entering the TNGA era has indeed subverted people's impression of Toyota, especially in terms of driving sense. But not long ago, the news that Toyota 1.5L three-cylinder engine will be put into production in China suddenly came out, which once again gave people an unexpected "surprise".
Toyota's 1.5L three-cylinder engine with code name M 15C will be used to replace Toyota's existing NR series 1.2T engine in the future. This means that both GAC Toyota Ralink and FAW Toyota Corolla will be equipped with this brand-new engine.
According to the information published so far, the dynamic performance of this 1.5L three-cylinder engine is almost the same as that of 1.2T engine. But it belongs to the product of TNGA architecture, so D4 mixed injection system is adopted, and the compression ratio is as high as 13: 1.
But when you hear a three-cylinder engine, everyone's first reaction will be shaking and noise. Even if many car companies can suppress the shaking and noise to an imperceptible level, consumers may not be able to immediately accept this technology with poor reputation in the past, even if this /s/frOy0jrc7Q85ELSPGaGLLw power is made by Toyota.
What's more, there seems to be no particularly good sales case for models equipped with three-cylinder engines. SAIC-GM, which has been fully "three-cylinder" before, is ready to take out the classic 1.5L engine again for the sake of sales performance.
So, is Toyota's three-cylinder engine hopeless? Not necessarily, because the dynamic quality of Ralink and Corolla 1.2T models only meets the living conditions, and consumers who are willing to buy will not have too high requirements in this respect. Even if you are not satisfied, you can choose a dual-engine version equipped with a hybrid system. The only limitation may be the budget at hand.
