Almost all of the company’s major models, including the Atlas crossover and Emgrand X7, have the 2.4-liter Geely JLD-4G24 gasoline engine, which has been assembled at a factory in China since 2010. The well-known Japanese Toyota 2AZ-FE engine is essentially replicated in this power unit.
JLC-4G15, JLY-4G15, JLC-4G18, JLY-4G18, JLD-4G20, and JLD-4G24 are Toyota engine clones.

Disadvantages of the Geely JLD-4G24 engine
Although this engine is reasonably dependable, the quality of its parts frequently falls short;
The unit has no significant issues and is primarily concerned with trivial matters;
Although lubrication consumption is frequently discussed in specialized forums, it is typically not very high;
Here, using poor fuel significantly shortens the catalyst’s and candles’ lifespan;
Every 100,000 kilometers, valve clearances must be changed because there are no hydraulic lifters.
