How many cylinders does the CS55 engine have?
3 Answers
The CS55 is equipped with a four-cylinder engine. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine in the CS55 delivers a maximum power of 115 kW and a maximum torque of 225 Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 5,500 rpm and the maximum torque available between 2,000 to 4,000 rpm. The CS55 engine features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle's dimensions are: length 4,500 mm, width 1,855 mm, height 1,690 mm, and a wheelbase of 2,650 mm.
I've driven the Changan CS55 a few times, and it uses a typical 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which feels quite smooth. Why four cylinders? Because most compact SUVs are designed this way nowadays—high fuel efficiency, low noise, and especially fuel-saving. During daily commutes, it accelerates responsively and handles slopes effortlessly. With a maximum output of 156 horsepower paired with a 6AT transmission, the driving experience is very smooth. If you're concerned about engine issues, I recommend regular maintenance checks on spark plugs and engine oil to avoid carbon buildup affecting performance. In short, four-cylinder engines are very common in modern cars, suitable for city driving and cost-saving needs, but for long trips, pay attention to tire pressure adjustments.
Speaking of the CS55's engine, as a frequent driver of this car, I can tell you it comes standard with a four-cylinder, 1.5T engine. The advantage is good fuel economy, with a fuel consumption of about 8 liters per 100 kilometers, making it cost-effective and environmentally friendly for city driving. The engine vibration is well controlled, quiet at idle, and powerful for overtaking at high speeds. I recommend paying extra attention to the cooling system during the break-in period of a new car to avoid minor issues caused by overheating. In comparison, although six-cylinder cars offer stronger power, the CS55 is positioned as a practical and affordable family SUV, where a four-cylinder is just right. Maintenance is simple, with oil changes costing just a few hundred yuan.
