What brand of engine does Geely use?

Geely's engines are independently developed by Geely Auto, so they are domestically produced engines. Geely's models use self-developed engines. For example, the Emgrand uses the JLY-4g15 engine model, with a maximum power of 80kW, maximum horsepower of 109, and maximum torque of 140N·m. Here are some daily maintenance methods for Geely's engines: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, choose SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, select CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through, the filter may burst, or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, bringing contaminants back to the lubrication areas and accelerating engine wear and internal contamination. 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 particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I've been driving a Geely car for several years. Geely primarily uses its own engine brands, such as the Blue Core series, which is quite common and used in models like the Emgrand and Boyue. Some high-end models like the Lynk & Co 01 directly use Volvo's engines. After acquiring Volvo, Geely adopted their Drive-E technology, which offers strong power and good fuel efficiency. In the past, Geely used Mitsubishi engines, but these are becoming increasingly rare. The engine brand is crucial as it affects acceleration and fuel consumption. My family car is equipped with a Geely 1.5T turbocharged engine, which runs smoothly and consumes just over 7 liters per 100 km in city commuting. I recommend test-driving more cars when choosing a vehicle to get a feel for engine compatibility, as driving safety should always come first.
