2 Answers
Changan's Blue Core engine has two versions: the 1.5-liter turbocharged engine used in the CS75, known as the first-generation Blue Core engine; and the second-generation Blue Core engine, which has not yet been widely adopted. More details about the Blue Core engine are as follows: 1. The Blue Core engine is a self-developed engine series by Changan, not a single engine. 2. The first-generation Blue Core engine delivers 178 horsepower and a maximum torque of 265 Nm, with the maximum torque available between 1,450 and 4,500 rpm and the maximum power at 5,500 rpm. 3. The first-generation Blue Core engine is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I enjoy studying car engines in my spare time. The Changan Blue Core engine has gone through several versions from its early days to now. I remember the initial version was a 1.6L naturally aspirated one, suitable for basic models. Later, it was upgraded to a 1.4T GDI with turbocharging, adopting direct injection technology, which significantly improved power output. Then came the 1.5T version with stronger power, used in mainstream SUVs. There's also a high-performance 2.0T version that delivers even greater horsepower. Recently, a hybrid version was introduced, combining an electric motor for better fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness. Each version represents the result of technological iteration, such as the transition from pure gasoline to electrification, giving consumers more choices to match their daily needs or driving pleasure. I find it fascinating to understand these changes.
