What engine does the Vision use?

The Vision's engine model is JLγ-4G15, with a maximum power of 80 kW, maximum torque of 142 Nm, maximum horsepower of 109 Ps, and maximum power speed of 6000 rpm. The Vision's engine is independently developed by Geely and is a domestically produced engine. For daily maintenance of the Vision's 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 based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not 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, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid faults, oil should be changed regularly based on usage conditions, and the oil level should be moderate; When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to pass through the bypass valve and bringing contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution; Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides in the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, blocking filters 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 normal engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
As someone who has been following automotive technology for a long time, I think the engine of the Geely Vision is quite worth discussing. It typically comes equipped with Geely's self-developed 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, model JLγ-4G15, with a maximum horsepower of 109 HP and torque of 135 Nm. In city driving, it achieves a low fuel consumption of 7L per 100 km, with smooth acceleration and no lag. There's also a 1.4L turbocharged version that boosts horsepower to 141 HP, offering more aggressive power response, making it suitable for highway overtaking. These engines are based on Geely's recent innovative platforms, known for high reliability—running tens of thousands of kilometers without major issues. Maintenance costs are well-controlled, with affordable and easily available parts. I've encountered several owners who say maintaining a Vision is less stressful, especially compared to joint-venture cars in the same price range. In daily driving, the engine's low noise level is particularly commendable, making long trips more comfortable.
I've been driving the Vision for over a year, and the engine performance has been truly satisfying. It mainly uses a 1.5L naturally aspirated or 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering smooth operation and fuel efficiency. City driving maintains fuel consumption around 7L/100km, and it's even more economical on highways. The acceleration isn't particularly aggressive but is sufficient, with quick power response during overtaking—no lag issues encountered. There's a slight noise during cold starts, but it quiets down once warmed up, and with windows closed, engine noise is barely noticeable inside. Maintenance is genuinely cost-effective, with minor services at 4S shops costing just over 300 yuan. Parts are easy to find, and major issues are rare. As an ordinary family car, the Vision's engine is reliable and economical, saving significant fuel and maintenance costs, while also proving stable and dependable on long trips.
