3 Answers
This 1.8TD engine has a maximum power of 135kw/5500rpm and a maximum torque of 285Nm/1500-4000rpm. This engine is the second-generation product of the 18TD series. The first-generation 18TD engine stood out among many joint-venture brands with its strong power, advanced technology, and excellent market performance, winning the 2015 "China Heart" Top Ten Engines award and being mass-produced in the Geely Borui. Below are the relevant details: Through redevelopment of the combustion system: The Geely Boyue equipped with the 1.8TD engine has undergone redevelopment of the combustion system, upgraded direct fuel injection technology, and adopted core technologies such as low-friction pistons, a new-generation silent chain, an integrated exhaust manifold turbocharger, and a dual-mass flywheel, achieving a 14% increase in torque, a 3.7% reduction in fuel consumption, and a 5% improvement in NVH performance. Core technologies: This engine is the result of Geely's independent research and development, fully leveraging Volvo's expert resources, with 50% shared suppliers with Volvo. In terms of core technologies, the 1.8TD engine in the Geely Boyue adopts nine internationally advanced key technologies, placing it at a first-class level domestically. Core data: This engine outperforms the Volkswagen Tiguan's EA888 second-generation engine in key indicators such as 0-100km/h acceleration and fuel consumption per 100km.
I often drive the Boyue 1.8T, and overall, I find its power to be quite sufficient. During daily commutes, it accelerates quickly from a standstill, easily outpacing other cars at traffic lights, unlike some smaller-displacement vehicles that tend to lag behind. Overtaking on the highway is also effortless, with smooth acceleration from 80km/h to 120km/h. The fuel consumption isn't particularly low, averaging around 9-10L per 100km, but considering the 1.8-liter turbocharged engine's power output, this performance is reasonable. The engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, which shifts smoothly with almost no noticeable jerkiness. The suspension is tuned for comfort, making bumpy roads feel less jarring. As Geely's flagship model, the Boyue has proven to be quite reliable, with no major issues during my ownership, making it suitable for city driving and family trips.
The power performance of the Boyue 1.8T is impressive. It delivers a peak horsepower of around 135kW and a torque close to 300Nm, providing strong acceleration once the turbo kicks in, making overtaking or climbing hills effortless. I've driven it on the highway several times, and it offers excellent stability with precise steering that doesn't feel floaty. Fuel economy is moderate, with city driving consumption exceeding 10L, but it can drop to 8L during highway cruising. The transmission responds quickly and downshifts aggressively, making it suitable for drivers who seek a dynamic driving experience. Engine noise control is decent, and while wind noise becomes noticeable at high speeds, it remains acceptable. The Boyue series features a solid chassis, agile handling, and high cost-performance ratio, making it a reliable choice.
