What engine is used in the GAC Trumpchi GS4?
2 Answers
The engine of the GAC Trumpchi GS4 is independently developed and produced by Guangzhou Automobile Group Passenger Vehicle Co., Ltd., and is a domestically manufactured engine. The engine model of the GAC Trumpchi GS4 is A415J1, with a maximum power of 124 kW, a maximum torque of 265 Nm, and a maximum horsepower of 169. For daily maintenance of the GAC Trumpchi GS4 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 requirements specified by the manufacturer. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, the performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid failures, the oil should be changed regularly based on usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate. When the oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing the oil to bypass through the bypass valve and bring 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 from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from component wear to form sludge. When the amount is small, it remains suspended in the oil; when the amount is large, it precipitates from the oil, clogging the filter and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I've studied the engine configuration of the Trumpchi GS4. The current main engine is GAC's self-developed 1.5T four-cylinder turbocharged engine, model named 4A15J1. This engine adopts third-generation combustion technology, featuring direct injection and a small-inertia turbocharger, delivering 169 horsepower, making city driving quite agile. The older models used a 1.3T engine, but the new versions have fully transitioned to the 1.5T, offering more power while maintaining good fuel efficiency, with a combined cycle consumption of around 7 liters. The transmission options include Aisin's 6AT or a 7-speed wet dual-clutch, with smoothness ranking among the top tier in domestic vehicles. If you see a 270T badge on the rear, that indicates the high-power version with torque increased to 265 N·m.
