What engine does the Boyue use?

The Boyue is equipped with two types of engines, model numbers JLE-4G18TDC and JLE-4G18TD. The JLE-4G18TDC engine has a maximum horsepower of 184 HP, a maximum power output of 135 kW, a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and a peak torque of 300 N·m. The JLE-4G18TD engine has a maximum horsepower of 163 HP, a maximum power output of 120 kW, a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and a peak torque of 250 N·m. The Boyue's engines are independently produced, and having engines with independent intellectual property rights is a highlight of the Boyue. Therefore, the engines are domestically manufactured. For daily maintenance of the Boyue's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD to SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB to CD grade diesel engine oil based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance will deteriorate, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When engine oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and the oil cannot pass through, it may rupture the filter or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, 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 particles from component wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, 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 properly but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
Hey buddy, regarding the Boyue's engine, as far as I know, it mainly comes with Geely's own 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a displacement of around 1.5 liters, horsepower generally around 180, and torque approximately 255 N·m. It provides ample power for daily driving, especially noticeable when overtaking with a strong sense of acceleration. Additionally, this engine combines direct injection technology and CVVL variable valve lift, not only improving fuel efficiency—with city fuel consumption around 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers—but also ensuring smooth operation at low speeds, reducing vibration issues. Maintenance is also hassle-free, just using full synthetic oil, with minor servicing required every 10,000 kilometers, and it's known for strong reliability.
I previously drove the Boyue Pro model, and that 1.8T turbocharged engine was really impressive. The power output was strong, with quick acceleration and responsive performance, especially during highway cruising where fuel consumption could drop to around 6 liters. In daily city driving, even with occasional traffic jams, the engine idled smoothly without any strange noises. Considering its good durability, I recommend regular checks on the spark plugs and air filter to avoid carbon buildup affecting performance. Overall, it offers great value for money, making it suitable for family use or long-distance trips.
