How many cylinders does the Boyue 1.8T engine have?

[LeJayla]

Boyue 1.8T engine has four cylinders arranged in a straight line. The vehicle is equipped with two engines in total, namely a 1.8T turbocharged engine and a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine. The 1.8T engine adopts direct injection technology, while the 2.0L naturally aspirated engine uses multi-point electronic injection technology. The maximum power of the 1.8T turbocharged engine in the Boyue is 104 kW, and the maximum torque is 178 Nm. The dimensions of the Boyue are 4519mm in length, 1831mm in width, and 1694mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2670mm. The Boyue is equipped with features such as a city pre-collision safety system, ACC intelligent adaptive cruise control system, 360-degree dynamic 3D panoramic imaging, and an in-car air purification management system.

The 1.8T engine used in the Boyue is a four-cylinder engine, which provides a very stable driving experience. It's particularly noticeable when I drive this car on long trips—the four-cylinder engine controls vibrations well, and the turbo kicks in with ample power during acceleration, making overtaking confident. Although small-displacement three-cylinder engines are trending now, Geely's decision to equip the Boyue with a four-cylinder is very practical—it's simpler in structure, less prone to issues, and cheaper to repair. I've tested it climbing hills with the AC on in summer, and the power is sufficient with just two-thirds throttle. The only thing to note is the need for regular turbo maintenance, and full synthetic oil must be used to prevent carbon buildup and extend its lifespan.

The Boyue 1.8T is definitely a four-cylinder, I'm very familiar with this engine. My friend bought a Boyue Pro last year, and we often swap cars to drive. The gearbox's jerkiness in city traffic is much improved compared to the older models, and the smoothness advantage of the four-cylinder engine really stands out. The fuel consumption is lower than expected, showing around 7.8 liters during highway cruising, though of course it depends on driving style. I heard the new model now comes with a 1.5T four-cylinder, which has a smaller displacement and is more fuel-efficient, but the 1.8T version offers super high cost-performance in the used car market, perfect for those with a limited budget who still want reliable power.

The 1.8T engine in the Boyue features a mature four-cylinder design. The turbo kicks in early, delivering maximum torque at just 1750 rpm, making it responsive from a standstill at traffic lights. During maintenance, the mechanic mentioned that the engine bay layout is spacious, allowing even DIY tasks like air filter replacement. It's recommended to change the spark plugs every 40,000 kilometers, with the OEM using NGK iridium-tipped plugs priced at just 60 yuan each—quite affordable. Over the long term, the most hassle-free aspect is that it doesn’t burn oil. My car has covered 80,000 kilometers in five years, and the dipstick has never shown oil levels below the midpoint.

The Geely Boyue 1.8T features a standard inline-four configuration, which is considered the golden combination among domestic SUVs. It vibrates significantly less than three-cylinder engines, with almost no steering wheel shake during cold starts. Once I lent it to a novice driver who said it felt much more powerful than his family's old 1.6L naturally aspirated Ford Focus. Even mechanics praise this engine for its reliability, with occasional high-pressure fuel pump seal replacements being the most common issue—parts are cheap and widely available. The only downside is the cumbersome process of removing the engine cover, making even adding windshield washer fluid a time-consuming task.

The Boyue 1.8T has been using the same four-cylinder engine for years, unchanged since the 2016 model. With a maximum output of 184 horsepower, it's sufficient for this vehicle. I've tested it fully loaded on winding mountain roads—shifting to manual mode and keeping the revs above 2,500 rpm delivers responsive power. The transmission is well-matched, downshifting intelligently during rapid acceleration. One drawback is the engine mounts age quickly; they need inspection and replacement around every three years, otherwise, you'll hear clunking sounds during low-speed gear changes. Overall, it's more reliable than joint-venture cars of the same displacement, requiring maintenance only every 7,500 kilometers.
