What brand is the engine of the Geely Boyue?

The engine of the Geely Boyue is produced by Geely Auto itself, utilizing technology from Volvo, making it a domestically produced engine. The engine model of the Geely Boyue is JLE-4G18TDC, a 1.8T version with a maximum power of 135kw/5500rpm and a maximum torque of 285Nm/1500-4000rpm. The 2.0L version has a maximum power of 104kw/6000rpm and a maximum torque of 178Nm/4000-4500rpm. For daily maintenance of the Geely Boyue's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, choose SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, select CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various engine problems. To avoid faults, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and keep the oil level moderate. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and oil cannot pass through, the filter may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication parts, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while large amounts separate and block filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures normal engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I've been driving a Geely Boyue for almost three years now, equipped with Geely's own engine, specifically the JL series 1.8T turbocharged model. The power is quite ample, with smooth acceleration and quick response when overtaking. Fuel consumption is reasonable, around 10 liters per 100 km in the city and 6-7 liters on the highway. I use 95-octane gasoline for daily commuting, and regular maintenance only costs a few hundred yuan, such as changing the engine oil and air filter. Once, I took a long-distance trip, and the engine didn't have any issues, although I did notice some slight jerking when using poor-quality fuel. I recommend the Boyue for its reliable engine, but advise avoiding low-quality fuel. Maintenance is simple and cost-effective.
As a frequent car repairer, I've noticed that the Geely Boyue's engines are primarily Geely's own brand, with models like the 1.5T or 1.8T JL series being the most common. After inspecting many vehicles, common fault points are often due to spark plug aging or fuel line blockages, leading to starting difficulties. It's recommended to replace the spark plugs every 20,000 kilometers and maintain the fuel filter regularly. The newer engines have higher fuel efficiency, and using a multimeter to check voltage during maintenance can help avoid major issues. Overall reliability is decent, but don't overlook small details to avoid unnecessary expenses.
