What engine does the Trumpchi Shadow Leopard have?

[MacAnderson]

Shadow Leopard is equipped with the all-new third-generation 1.5TGDI engine from the GAC Power series. Below is the relevant introduction of the Trumpchi Shadow Leopard: Power performance: Maximum power 130kW, peak torque 270N-m, with GCCS technology as the core, integrating twin-scroll turbocharging, top-mounted water-cooled intercooler, high-pressure injection, large inertia balance shaft, intelligent thermal management, and low-friction technology, achieving a fuel consumption as low as 5.7L per 100km. Transmission: The transmission efficiency is as high as 96%, with a shift time of only 0.2 seconds; in the 0-100km/h acceleration test, the fastest recorded 0-100km/h acceleration time is 6.95 seconds. GPMA architecture: With the support of the GPMA architecture, Shadow Leopard achieves the lowest center of gravity among domestic brands at 550mm, a drag coefficient as low as 0.26cd, and the application of over 66.5% high-strength steel. Combined with the excellent lightweight design capability of the GPMA architecture, it realizes the perfect combination of safety and lightweight.

I recently studied the engine of the Trumpchi Emgrand. This car is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, codenamed JL4G16, delivering around 177 horsepower and 270 Nm of torque. It feels very powerful to drive, especially with noticeable acceleration and a strong sense of pushback during takeoff, making it suitable for friends who enjoy sporty driving. The engine features direct injection technology and a center-mounted fuel injector design, offering good fuel efficiency with urban commuting fuel consumption around 6-7 liters per 100 kilometers. Maintenance is relatively hassle-free, and I recommend regular oil changes and cleaning the turbo system to prevent excessive carbon buildup. Overall, it combines performance and efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice among cars in its class.

As a daily driver of the Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, I must say the 1.5T engine version runs quite smoothly. It feels responsive during daily commutes, especially when overtaking on highways. The fuel consumption is well controlled, with a combined actual measurement of around 7 liters. The turbocharging effectively eliminates the sluggishness common in small-displacement engines. I usually find the normal mode sufficient, but switching to sport mode occasionally adds more excitement. This engine operates quietly, starts smoothly, and is quite friendly for long drives. When choosing a car, it's advisable to consider road conditions and maintenance costs, and to regularly check spark plugs and the intake system to prevent minor issues from affecting reliability.

When I first bought the Yingbao, it came with a 1.5T turbocharged engine delivering a maximum horsepower of 177, which made driving quite exhilarating. Before purchasing, I took it for a test drive and noticed its quick start-up response and smooth power delivery in urban driving conditions. The engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, offering refined gear shifts without any noticeable jerkiness. After using it for a while, I found the fuel consumption to be reasonable, with a full tank easily covering 400 kilometers in the city. I'd advise new owners to pay attention to the engine warm-up process—waiting a bit after a cold start before accelerating can help extend the engine's lifespan and maintain optimal performance.
