2.4L JLD-4G24 Naturally Aspirated Engine for Geely Atlas, Emgrand GT, and X7 – High-Performance OEM Replacement
This 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine, known as the JLD-4G24, is a premium powertrain developed in-house by Geely Automotive, engineered for exceptional reliability, smooth performance, and fuel efficiency. Designed specifically for models like the Geely Atlas, Emgrand GT, and Emgrand X7, this engine delivers a balanced combination of torque, responsiveness, and durability—making it an ideal choice for drivers seeking dependable power without sacrificing economy.
The JLD-4G24 boasts a maximum output of 119 kW (156 hp) at 5,700 rpm and peak torque of 210 Nm between 1,500 and 4,000 rpm—a range that ensures strong low-end acceleration and consistent mid-range pulling power. Unlike many turbocharged engines, its naturally aspirated design offers linear throttle response, making it particularly well-suited for urban driving and highway cruising alike. Paired with a robust 6-speed manual transmission, this engine achieves competitive fuel economy, often outperforming similarly sized turbocharged alternatives under real-world conditions.
Key features include advanced VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) technology for optimized combustion efficiency, a durable cast iron block for long-term reliability, and a compact yet powerful architecture that maintains excellent thermal management. The engine’s modular design allows for easy integration into various vehicle platforms, and it serves as both a complete engine assembly and a long-block option for professional rebuilds or replacements.
Whether you're restoring a classic Geely model, replacing a worn-out unit, or upgrading your existing setup, this JLD-4G24 engine provides OEM-level quality with proven performance. It’s especially popular among enthusiasts who value mechanical simplicity, predictable behavior, and high-value engineering in a domestic brand product.
Common applications include but are not limited to: Geely Atlas (2015–2020), Geely Emgrand GT (2016–2019), and Geely Emgrand X7 (2014–2018). This makes it a versatile solution for mechanics, DIY restorers, and fleet operators looking for a reliable, factory-approved powerplant that meets global standards for emissions and safety.
Users frequently praise the engine's quiet operation, minimal vibration, and seamless integration with stock components. Many report improved drivability after installation, especially when combined with regular maintenance such as oil changes, air filter replacements, and spark plug servicing. Its ability to maintain consistent performance over time—without the complexity of turbocharging systems—adds to its appeal in markets where service infrastructure may be limited.
While some buyers initially assume larger displacement equals higher fuel consumption, the JLD-4G24 defies this expectation. According to official testing by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, it records approximately 6.5 liters per 100 kilometers in lab conditions; however, real-world average fuel usage typically ranges from 9 to 10 L/100km depending on driving style, traffic, and terrain—comparable to many modern 1.5T or 2.0T engines.
Q: Is this engine suitable for use outside of China? A: Yes, the JLD-4G24 is compatible with international specifications and can be adapted for use in regions outside mainland China, provided local emissions regulations are met through proper tuning or modification.
Q: Can I install this engine myself? A: While possible for experienced mechanics, professional installation is strongly recommended due to the need for precise alignment, wiring integration, and calibration of sensors and ECU parameters.
Q: How does it compare to turbocharged engines? A: Though it lacks forced induction, the JLD-4G24 compensates with a broader usable torque band, lower maintenance needs, and better longevity—ideal for users prioritizing reliability over peak horsepower figures.
In summary, the JLD-4G24 engine represents a mature, well-engineered solution from Geely, offering strong performance, solid build quality, and excellent value for money. Whether you're maintaining a daily driver or building a project car, this 2.4L engine stands out as a trusted and efficient choice for Geely-based vehicles worldwide.
