What engine does the GS4 use?

[McAngela]

gs4 is equipped with a 1.5T-L4 turbocharged engine independently developed by GAC. Here is its introduction: 1. The engine model is 4A15J1, paired with a 7-speed G-DCT dual-clutch transmission. 2. The engine delivers a maximum power of 112 kW (152 hp) at 5000 rpm, with peak torque reaching 235 N·m at 1450-4250 rpm. Below is a brief introduction to the 1.5T-L4 engine: The 1.5T-L4 engine is the latest product independently developed by Trumpchi, incorporating technologies such as GCCS (Combustion Chamber Control System), DCVVT (Dual Continuous Variable Valve Timing), and low-inertia turbocharging technology. When paired with the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, the combined fuel consumption is 6.4L/100km.

I've been repairing cars for over a decade and have handled hundreds of GS4 models. The early 1.3T engines had more issues, but the new models all feature the 1.5T Julang Power. With a cast iron cylinder block paired with an aluminum cylinder head, the bore and stroke of 79*77.5 are tuned for low-end torque output. During repairs, I noticed the third generation improved piston ring materials, significantly reducing oil burning complaints. There are just two common faults: turbo cooling pipe leaks requiring seal replacement, or high-pressure fuel pump noise. Actually, just pay attention to three things in maintenance: check turbo pipe clamps every 5,000 km, use GF-6 compliant 5W-30 oil, and add regular 92-octane fuel from certified stations. The spark plugs are exceptionally easy to access on this engine, and repair costs are one-third lower than joint-venture vehicles.

As a veteran driver who has owned three GS4s from different years, I can tell you the engine changes are significant. The 2016 model used a 1.3T with Alfa Romeo technology, the 2019 version switched to a 1.5T+6AT combo, and now the latest models all come with 1.5TGDI paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. When I deliver packages in suburban areas, the lowest displayed fuel consumption I've seen is 6.3L. Last week when carrying five colleagues uphill, it reached maximum torque at just 2200 rpm. One thoughtful detail: the engine cover has sound insulation padding, keeping the engine bay noticeably cooler than my colleague's Haval in summer. The only drawback is the awkwardly positioned oil filler port - it's easy to spill when adding oil yourself. For used car buyers, I'd recommend choosing post-2019 models as they've fixed the timing chain noise issue present in older versions.
