What engine does the Geely GS use?

Geely GS engine is a naturally aspirated engine, independently developed by Geely Auto, so it belongs to domestic engine. The engine model used in Geely GS is JLY-4g15, with a maximum power of 80kW, maximum horsepower of 109, and maximum torque speed of 140N·m. For daily maintenance of Geely GS engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected according to the additional devices of the intake and exhaust system and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, and the selection standard should not be lower than the manufacturer's requirements; Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, the performance deteriorates, which will bring various problems to the engine. To avoid failures, the oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil volume should be moderate; When the oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and sticky substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element will burst or the safety valve will open, allowing the oil to pass through the bypass valve, bringing dirt back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution; Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gas, acid, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides in the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston ring and the cylinder wall, mixing with metal powder generated by part wear to form sludge. When the amount is small, it is suspended in the oil; when the amount is large, it precipitates from the oil, blocking the filter and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear; Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall life of the radiator and engine.
From a technical perspective, I analyzed the engine of the Geely GS. It typically comes equipped with Geely's self-developed 1.4T turbocharged engine, codenamed JLβ-4G14TB, delivering a maximum power output of around 141 horsepower. Paired with dual VVT technology, it enhances fuel efficiency. In real-world driving, I found the power delivery smooth, with the turbo kicking in at low RPMs, making it suitable for congested urban traffic. In terms of fuel consumption, it maintains around 7 liters per 100 km on highways and approximately 8 liters in city driving, which is quite economical. The engine features direct fuel injection for quick response, but regular oil changes are necessary to prevent carbon buildup during maintenance. Overall, the engine's reliability is commendable, backed by Geely's five-year warranty. Minor issues like cold-start noise tend to disappear once the engine warms up. As an automotive enthusiast, I believe this engine represents significant progress among domestic brands, striking a good balance between performance and practicality.
