According to Ross China's Type 039 Song Submarine has 4 x MTU 16V 396S E84 Diesels with a 7 blade propeller, the Song is believed to displace around 2,286 tonnes (submerged). See:
David Ross, The World's Greatest
SUBMARINES: An Illustrated History, Amber Books Ltd, London, UK 2016, indicated on pages 181
and 182. Also see Ross's October 2017 Edition on Amazon. The book is fairly up to date (late 2015) as indicated by sections on the Soryu, Arihant and Yasen. There is mention on page 215 of a Russian Malakhit Design Bureau preliminary study of a future fifth generation SSN and SSGN concept (this would mean the 2 class Husky).
It is not yet known whether China's follow-on Type 039A/041 Yuan, with submerged displacement of around 3,550 tonnes, has 4, 5, or 6 MTU 396s or MTU 4000s .

MTU Yuchai Power to start Series 4000 engine production in China
Posted by Paul Moore on 10th April 2018
MTU Yuchai Power, a joint venture set up between Rolls-Royce Power Systems and the Chinese diesel engine manufacturer Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Company, is preparing for the start of series production of MTU Series 4000 engines
Preparations for the completion of the assembly lines for high-volume series production are in full swing, with the large test bench required for engines with power outputs of up to 3,500 kW and as many as 20 cylinders currently being calibrated.
The components needed to produce the engines at MTU Yuchai Power will initially come from Germany. Suppliers in China capable of delivering parts of the same quality will gradually be added at a later stage.
