Is the engine of Geely Vision the same as Toyota's?
1 Answers
Geely initially used Toyota's 8A engine. Historical Background: Initially, they conducted reverse engineering on Toyota's 8A engine, followed by Mitsubishi's 4G series engines. Later, they reverse-engineered Volkswagen's EA888 engine, which was applied to models like the Boyue and Borui. Some 2.4L engines were also purchased from Toyota. In recent years, Geely has developed its own engines, such as the 1.4T engine, which has shown good performance in terms of output power and stability. Domestic Technology: No, it's not the same. In engineering terms, this is called "reverse development," where the goal is to thoroughly study the design of the target model, avoid its design patents and features, and then redevelop it. Avoiding patents essentially means avoiding the core technologies of the engine, such as the stratified combustion technology in the 1.4TSI.
