⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Lin - AutoFix Pro Workshop
"We’ve installed three DA471QLR 1.3L engines in HAFEI Exelle sedans since purchasing in July 2024, and every one has delivered flawless performance. The aluminum construction makes handling and installation significantly easier compared to older cast-iron units, and the direct OEM fitment saved us hours in machining and alignment. Fuel efficiency reports from customers are up 8–10%, which speaks volumes about the engine’s thermal and weight advantages. A solid upgrade for any shop servicing HAFEI models."Purchase Date: July 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Daniel Park - Automotive Hobbyist
"I swapped the base 1.3L engine in my 2008 HAFEI Excel with the Pro Model (1342cc) from YOLIN, and the difference is night and day. Installed it in my garage over a long weekend—modular design made it surprisingly straightforward. The DOHC setup and improved airflow give it a much smoother idle and stronger mid-range pull. I paired it with a performance exhaust, and now it feels like a proper little city runner. After 5 months of daily driving, zero issues. Aluminum block runs cool even in summer traffic."Purchase Date: October 2024 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Maria Gonzalez - CityRide Transport Services
"We replaced two aging Minyi vans with the Advanced Model (1301cc) engines for better torque during city deliveries. Purchased in February 2025, now with over 4 months of operation. The Euro 5 compliance was a key factor for our fleet’s urban access, and the engines have held up well under constant stop-and-go use. Maintenance is simple thanks to the accessible cooling passages and standard fuel requirements. Only reason it’s not 5 stars: we had to source custom gaskets for one non-standard chassis, but YOLIN’s support team provided specs quickly."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 4 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alex Turner - StreetTune Garage
"As someone who builds custom HAFEI-based track cars, the customization potential of the DA471QLR block is a game-changer. We ordered a 1342cc Pro Model in May 2024 and modified the bore and valve timing for a lightweight build. The aluminum alloy handled the increased thermal load with no warping, and the precision-machined surfaces ensured perfect head sealing. After 7 months of track weekends and dyno tuning, it’s still running strong at 110 HP on a mild tune. This engine is a blank canvas for tuners."Purchase Date: May 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Elena Petrova - Overland Custom Builds
"Used the DA471QLR engine in a HAFEI Minyi-based off-road buggy build last December 2024. Needed something lightweight but durable—this fit the bill. The liquid-cooled system has handled dusty trails and steep climbs without overheating. We tweaked the stroke for more low-end torque, and the adjustable parameters in the customization guide were incredibly helpful. After 6 months in rugged terrain, only routine oil changes needed. One note: ensure proper sealing if exposed to deep water, as aluminum blocks can corrode if coolant mixes with contaminants."Purchase Date: December 2024 | Usage Period: 6 months

Dr. Raj Mehta - Powertrain Systems Consultant
"The DA471QLR stands out in the compact petrol engine segment due to its lightweight aluminum construction and DOHC efficiency gains. In comparative testing, it achieves a 25% better power-to-weight ratio than cast-iron SOHC alternatives, making it ideal for urban vehicles and performance upgrades. The modular design also reduces repair downtime—critical for commercial operators."
Carlos Mendez - Performance Engine Builder (15+ years)
"Most replacement engines sacrifice either durability or adaptability. The YOLIN DA471QLR delivers both. The precision machining ensures OEM-level tolerances, while the customization options open doors for tuners and fabricators. For HAFEI platforms, this is now my go-to recommendation for both stock replacements and modified builds."
