Beijing China, Nov. 8, 2021—The result of “China Heart” Ten Best Engine of 2021 was officially unveiled .BAIC magic core 1.5T engine steered through the strict evaluation process and won the 16th “China Heart” Ten Best Engine Award.

Initially powered by VGT technology, BAIC magic core 1.5T engine astonishingly features Max. power of 138kW, Max. torque of 305N.m, high thermal efficiency up to 39.2% and the ceiling NVH in the same class with only 57.5dB of idle noise. All of these competitive performance enables BAIC magic core 1.5T Engine to outrival.

VGT technology revolution drives dual evolution in power & economy

Thermal efficiency up to 39.2%, improved transient response by 43%, Max. torque of 305N.m and Max. power of 138kW   

BAIC magic core 1.5T engine innovatively integrates VGT Booster with Miller technology to tremendously enhance auto power and fuel economy that are key evaluation elements of engines. Compared with WG Booster, VGT Booster has high performance in adjusting turbine circulation and low back pressure, resulting in higher dynamic response by 43% and Max. torque at 1500rpm. Moreover, combined with Miller technologies, the finished vehicle can benefit in remarkably higher efficiency of combustion with fuel reduction of over 4.5% under WLTC. This innovative technological solution empowers this 1.5T engine with Max. power of 138kW, Max. torque of 305N.m and high thermal efficiency up to 39.2%. For example, Porsche models equipped with VGT deliver more enjoyable driving experience and better fuel economy.          

A new all-time high NVH with the ceiling idling quietness，21 black technologies of noise reduction with the lowest idling noise of 57.5dB

NVH is a comprehensive indicator of customer experience. With 21 noise-reduction technologies such as timing belt transmission system, new high-pressure fuel pump, OAD, high-stiffness crankshaft, offset mechanism of crankshaft, bending and torsional bearing rods, and high-stiffness oil sump, BAIC magic core 1.5T engine has gone through trials and improvement under 14 frequent scenarios to reach the top NVH level with 57.5dB idling noise and the best noise-reduction, which ensures amazing driving comfort.  

Sino- German technologies challenge strict full-scenario rigorous verification within over 40,000hr  ，Withstand extreme cold at -104℉in Hailar and intense heat at 122℉in Flaming Mountains

BAIC magic core 1.5T engine is prominently reliable and secure, which has passed the full-scenario test by Chinese and German research teams for over 40,000 hours according to German examination standards. The rigorous test conditions range from extreme cold, severe heat to tough highland environment like -104℉in Hailar and intense heat at 122℉. As the result, a pleasant and trustful customer experience is doomed.        

BAIC magic core 1.5T engine makes a good debut with sound performance

With a remarkable performance, BAIC magic core1.5T engine is the great fruit of BAIC’s unremitting efforts in power technologies R & D, incorporating a series of breakthroughs achieved jointly by its domestic R&D team and overseas team Meta (located in Aachen, Germany). Moreover, BAIC Power Base Laboratory has been honored by China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNAS) the ISO-17025 certificate, reputed as the “Oscar” award in the automobile test field.

“China Heart” Ten Best Engine Competition enjoys high reputation along with Ward's 10 Best Engines and International Engine of the Year competitions. Its judging panel consists of State-level experts at auto engineering, scholars from key national labs at famous universities and experts and scholars in domestic engine related fields. Many of the judges and experts spoke highly of BAIC magic core 1.5T engine.
