We are used to insulting Chinese cars. But time passes, Asians gain experience and Made in China cars no longer seem like pathetic parodies of Japanese and European brands. Yes, and engines sometimes “live” much longer than their vaunted Old World counterparts. However, judge for yourself: the AvtoVzglyad portal tells about crossovers with the most reliable engines that you can buy in Russia.

Let’s start with a 1.5-liter engine with the GW4G15B index, which Great Wall produces and puts on compact crossovers. For example on Haval H2 or Hover H6. It is based on the Toyota 1NZ-FE unit, which is known for its reliability. The Chinese only added supercharging, increasing the efficiency to 150 horsepower. Of. The resource during the integration of “turbo” was reduced, of course, but not critically. The engine “lives” more than 200,000 km, which is very good by today’s standards.

Let’s pay attention to the 2-liter HFC4GA1 produced by JAC. It is placed on cars such as the S5 crossover and the T6 pickup with frame. This engine is a four-cylinder, with distributed injection, and the timing belt is a belt. They say that the Chinese have taken a lot from the Mitsubishi 4G63 engine, and it is distinguished by its indestructibility. A resource of 250,000 km for such a unit is not the limit.

Incidentally, Mitsubishi engines are still produced under license by Brilliance. For example, a V5 crossover known to us was equipped with a 1.6 liter petrol engine with a power of 110 hp. Of. This engine is a modified Mitsubishi 4A92S unit. The main claim on such a car was that it “didn’t go”. But the resource easily exceeds 300,000 km, and this is, you see, a lot.

Let’s remember Chery with their family of Acteco motorcycles. They are produced in China, but developed in collaboration with the Austrian company AVL. The result was a whole line – 1.5 liters, 1.6 liters, 1.8 liters and 2 liters. We are especially interested in the 2-liter, because it is installed on the Chery Tiggo 5 and this car is widely distributed in the Russian market. The 16-valve engine has two phase shifters and divided injection. Generally nothing complicated that would reduce resources and cause maintenance issues.

Taking older models, here we highlight the first Chery Tiggo T11 – a free copy of the Toyota RAV4. The car had many shortcomings, but they did not concern the power units. “Tiggo” received a licensed Mitsubishi Sirius line, which debuted in 1979. The Chinese simply copied the engines and did not “fit” in them. A 2-liter engine with a capacity of 136 liters stood out as a special reliability. Of. A simple and reliable aggregate often outlived the car itself, because there is simply nothing to break. There is no cunning supercharger, no complicated fuel system that requires high-quality fuel.
