1, the first-level adjustment engine has little effect on SUV, because the SUV itself has a high body, mainly considering passability. Although the horizontal centering engine can still improve the maneuverability, the improvement range is too small, especially in SUV. Second, the horizontal positioning engine has a limit on power, especially when it is used on an SUV as big as the Cayenne. If you use an 8-cylinder horizontal centering engine and it takes up too much space, as far as I know, the 8-cylinder horizontal centering engine is only used on tanks, and the cost of the third horizontal centering engine is also very high, so the manufacturer will not choose to use the horizontal centering engine on large SUVs at all.
2. Personally analyzed the reasons why Chipeng used the horizontal alignment engine. First, compared with the Cayenne, the car is naturally lighter, and the horizontally aligned engine can fully meet the power demand. Second, because Subaru mainly focuses on smaller SUVs, the existing engine can already meet the power demand, so there is no need to develop another engine to meet the power demand, which is also to save costs. Third, I personally feel that Subaru is an insistence on the brand, and it is not impossible.
3. BMW's gasoline six-cylinder engines are basically in-line, that is, L, not the V engine mentioned by the landlord. Only a few diesel engines are V engines.
