And it remain mystery for me on the engine of this Geely Boyue, which it can be found online with the engine code of JLD-4G24, JLD-4G20 and JLD-4G18TDB, which no further details enclose if this engine is a modification from a Japan engine or a totally develop by Geely.

Will the said Proton's SUV using the Geely Boyue original engine or using the Proton's develop engine? If it is using the China made engine, the future engine parts game play in Malaysia market may have a changes if China engine start to dominate the popular model on the road.
