What engine does the Xingyue L have?
2 Answers
The Xingyue L is equipped with three types of engines, with the model numbers being DHE15-ESZ, JLH-4G20TDJ, and JLH-4G20TDB. The DHE15-ESZ engine has a maximum horsepower of 150 HP, a maximum power output of 110 kW, and a peak torque of 225 N·m. The JLH-4G20TDJ engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 218 HP, a maximum power output of 160 kW, and a peak torque of 325 N·m. The JLH-4G20TDB engine boasts a maximum horsepower of 238 HP, a maximum power output of 175 kW, a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and a peak torque of 350 N·m. The engines in the Geely Xingyue L are produced by Volvo and are based on models developed using the CMA architecture. Other models that share the CMA architecture include Volvo's 40 series, the XC40, and the Lynk & Co 01/02/03, among others. For daily maintenance of the Xingyue L's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, choose SD-SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, select CB-CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, ensuring the standard meets or exceeds the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any lubricating oil will degrade over time. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, leading to various engine issues. To prevent malfunctions, change the oil periodically based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. As oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, it may rupture the filter or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, carrying contaminants back to the lubrication areas and accelerating engine wear and internal contamination. 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 wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Periodically use a radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale deposits not only ensures the engine operates smoothly but also extends the lifespan of both the radiator and the engine as a whole.
I previously researched the powertrain configuration of the Xingyue L and found its engine to be quite sophisticated. The gasoline version comes standard with Volvo's Drive-E series 2.0TD turbocharged engine across the entire lineup. I've driven the high-power version with 218 horsepower, and the acceleration push is particularly noticeable, delivering 325 Nm of torque at just 1,500 rpm, making it effortless to follow traffic in congested conditions. The low-power version still offers 190 horsepower, and the key is that this engine uses a low-inertia turbocharger, so throttle lag is barely noticeable, making highway overtaking particularly exhilarating. The hybrid version is equipped with a dedicated 1.5T hybrid engine with a thermal efficiency exceeding 43%, which is even more fuel-efficient than Toyota and Honda's hybrid systems, with real-world city commuting consumption just over 5 liters per 100 km. All versions feature an aluminum alloy cylinder block, which is over 20 kg lighter than cast iron, benefiting handling. As for drawbacks, it requires 95-octane fuel, but given the lifetime warranty, it's acceptable.
