With a rated output of 98 kilowatts (approximately 132 horsepower), it delivers robust performance while maintaining fuel efficiency—a perfect upgrade for drivers seeking reliable, long-term operation. Originally developed through a strategic collaboration between SAIC Group and General Motors, this engine represents a significant advancement in compact gasoline engine technology, combining proven engineering with modern efficiency standards. Key Features: - Certified compatibility with MG6, MG7, and Roewe 550 vehicles - Engine displacement: 1.8 liters, optimized for balance between torque and responsiveness - Maximum power output: 98 kW at 5500 rpm, ensuring smooth acceleration across various driving conditions - Peak torque: 250 Nm at 1700 rpm—ideal for city driving and highway cruising alike - OEM-grade components sourced from SAIC’s certified manufacturing facilities - Designed for durability, low emissions, and minimal maintenance requirements Detailed Description: The 18K4C engine is more than just a replacement part—it's a performance-enhancing solution built on decades of automotive innovation. Unlike generic alternatives, this unit integrates advanced combustion chamber design, variable valve timing, and efficient cooling systems that align with global emission regulations. Its modular construction allows seamless integration into existing vehicle platforms without requiring extensive modifications. The engine features a durable aluminum cylinder block and lightweight internals to reduce inertia and improve responsiveness under load. To maintain optimal performance over time, users must adhere to recommended oil change intervals using the correct viscosity grade—typically SAE 5W-30 or 10W-40 for gasoline engines—and ensure regular inspection of coolant levels, air filters, and spark plugs. Proper lubrication is critical; degraded motor oil can lead to increased friction, overheating, and premature wear on internal components such as pistons, bearings, and camshafts. Use Cases: Ideal for both daily commuters and performance enthusiasts, this engine suits urban environments where frequent stop-and-go traffic demands consistent torque delivery, as well as rural roads where sustained highway speeds require stable thermal management. Whether you're restoring an older model or upgrading your current setup, the 18K4C offers a proven platform for improved reliability and reduced downtime. It’s especially suited for owners who prioritize longevity, cost-effective ownership, and compliance with international environmental standards. Customer Testimonials: "Installed this engine in my 2012 Roewe 550 after a major rebuild. The difference in throttle response and overall smoothness is remarkable—I’ve noticed better fuel economy too." "Perfect fit for my MG6. No warning lights, no vibrations. Works like new. Worth every penny." "Used it as a direct swap in a project car. The build quality matches factory specs. I recommend it for anyone looking for a dependable alternative to expensive dealerships." Frequently Asked Questions: What makes this engine suitable for MG6 and Roewe 550 models? It was originally designed by SAIC and GM for these specific platforms, featuring matching ECU calibration, mounting points, and wiring harness configurations for plug-and-play installation. How often should I change the engine oil? Every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers or once a year, whichever comes first—depending on driving conditions and ambient temperature exposure. Can I use synthetic oil instead of conventional? Yes, synthetic oils are highly recommended for extended service life and superior protection under extreme temperatures or heavy loads. Is this engine compatible with turbocharged versions? No—this is a naturally aspirated version intended for non-turbo applications. Always verify your vehicle’s original engine type before purchase. Why does it have a lower power rating than the original 124kW version? This unit is a reconditioned or remanufactured variant optimized for reliability rather than peak output—ideal for everyday use and long-term ownership.
