Boyue Pro 1.8T is equipped with a four-cylinder engine, and it also offers another 1.5T three-cylinder engine option. Working principle of a four-cylinder engine: It generally converts chemical energy into mechanical energy. Sometimes, the term 'engine' can refer to both the power generation device and the entire machine including the power unit, such as gasoline engines and aircraft engines. The main component of an engine is the cylinder, which serves as the power source of the entire vehicle. Applications of four-cylinder engines: The main structure of a four-cylinder engine consists of components such as the cylinder block, crankcase, cylinder head, and cylinder gasket. Main applications: commonly used in car engines, motorcycles, chainsaws, and other small-power machinery.

As a seasoned car enthusiast who tinkers with vehicles often, I know this topic well! The Geely Boyue Pro 1.8T engine is a genuine inline-four cylinder. It delivers quite a punch during daily driving, especially when the turbo kicks in around 2000 RPM - overtaking feels particularly crisp. Though it could use some optimization in fuel consumption, averaging around 10L/100km in city traffic jams. Rumor has it this engine incorporates quite a bit of Volvo technology, and overall reliability is decent - among the Boyue owners in our car club, hardly anyone reports major issues.

I've been driving the Boyue Pro for almost two years and have thoroughly studied its configurations. The 1.8T version indeed features a four-cylinder engine, and with turbocharging, the acceleration is noticeably faster than the older models. The engine sound is slightly louder during cold starts, but it becomes quite stable once warmed up. It's important to use full synthetic oil during maintenance due to the high temperatures in turbocharged engines. Just last week, I completed a long-distance trip with a full load and air conditioning on while climbing hills without feeling any strain – it's perfectly sufficient for family use.

This engine is codenamed JLE-4G18TDC, featuring a standard inline-four-cylinder layout. In terms of specifications, its 184 horsepower paired with 300 N·m of torque is considered mainstream among 1.8T engines. The highlight is its dual VVT technology, which adjusts the timing for both intake and exhaust valves. Combined with a small-inertia turbocharger, you can feel the power as early as 1500 rpm. However, the cylinder block is still made of cast iron; switching to an all-aluminum design could further reduce weight. It's paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, offering much smoother performance compared to earlier dry versions.
