Jac Js4 inspection: Engine power that thrills, but takes its toll

The 2023 Jac Js4 packs a capable turbo delivering ample power, enough to climb steep grades without grinding the gearbox. In city traffic the fuel consumption settles around efficient fuel economy, yet under desert the engine temperature can rise 15 °C above normal, stressing the cooling system.

Owners report that at higher mileage the turbocharger’s wastegate begins to stick, causing a loss of 12 % power and a growling noise on steep climbs. Dealerships often attribute the issue to “normal wear” and suggest a routine oil change, while the fix involves a turbo rebuild.
