1.5T turbocharged engine with the model code SQRE4T15B. Introduction to engine model: The engine model is an identification code assigned by engine manufacturers in accordance with relevant regulations, industry or enterprise conventions, and engine attributes. It is used to represent information such as the manufacturer, specifications, performance, characteristics, technology, application, and production batch of the engine, including fuel type, number of cylinders, displacement, and static brake power. Composition of engine model: The prefix includes product series code, generation symbol, and regional or enterprise code; the middle part consists of cylinder count symbol, cylinder arrangement symbol, stroke symbol, and cylinder bore symbol; the suffix is composed of structural feature symbol and application feature symbol; the tail end is the differentiation symbol.

I usually pay quite a bit of attention to domestic cars. The engines used by Chery Jetour are actually quite diverse. For example, the X70 model commonly uses the SQRE4T15C 1.5T engine, delivering around 156 horsepower. The X90, on the other hand, often features the SQRF4J16 1.6T turbocharged engine, which produces 197 horsepower and feels quite powerful to drive. The newly released Jetour Dasheng even comes with a 1.6TD Kunpeng Power engine, though the model number is slightly different. The key is to look at the specific model. For instance, the Jetour Traveler has a version equipped with a 2.0TGDI engine, outputting over 250 horsepower. Engine models may also be updated for different year models, so it's best to check the official configuration sheet for confirmation, as the model number directly relates to maintenance and parts purchasing.

Our auto repair shop frequently handles Jetour models and has found that their engines mainly come in two types: 1.5T and 1.6T. The older X70 models most commonly use the SQRE4T15C engine, a 1.5T unit for which parts are relatively easy to find. The newer X90 models often come with the SQRF4J16 1.6T engine, where special attention is required for the high-pressure fuel rail during repairs. Some high-end models may also feature a 2.0TGDI engine, with the model number typically displayed on the metal plate in the engine compartment—taking a photo with your phone is the most accurate way to check for parts. There are minor revisions between different batches of engines, even down to spark plug models, so it's best to compare the old part with the new one when purchasing replacements.

I bought a Jetour X70 Pro last year, with the engine model SQRE4T15C, the 1.5T version, and it provides sufficient power for daily driving. From discussions in the car owner groups, many X90 owners posted engine nameplates mostly showing SQRF4J16. The newly released Jetour Traveler is said to be equipped with a 2.0T engine, but the specific model hasn't been researched yet. My advice when buying a car is to directly open the hood and check—there's an aluminum label next to the engine that states the model, which is more reliable than checking online. The engine differences between different configurations of the same model can be quite significant, with low-end and high-end versions differing by tens of horsepower.
