Is BlueCore the same as Blue Whale?
3 Answers
BlueCore and Blue Whale are not the same; BlueCore is the first-generation product of the Blue Whale engine. BlueCore generally refers to this engine equipped with DVVT. The Blue Whale series mostly consists of turbocharged engines with DVVT and direct injection. The latest Changan CS75 is equipped with the newly developed Blue Whale 1.5T turbocharged engine, which incorporates direct injection technology, delivering a maximum horsepower of 170 HP and torque of 230 N·m. It uses an Aisin automatic transmission for smoother power output. Below are the key features of the engine in the CS75: 1. Industry-leading high-pressure direct injection technology: Most engines only achieve up to two fuel injections per cycle. However, the new CS75's engine can perform up to five fuel injections in a single stroke. Currently, among mass-produced engines worldwide, it has the highest injection frequency. 2. Precise and efficient scavenging function: The linear oxygen sensor accurately calculates the air-fuel ratio, working in tandem with fine bench calibration and DVVT technology to achieve strong scavenging. This enables closed-loop control of fuel injection under all operating conditions, improving low-end torque by over 20% and reducing the maximum torque speed to 1450 rpm. 3. Low-friction technology for better fuel efficiency: This engine adopts an electronically controlled variable displacement oil pump. By optimizing the system design, it reduces the engine's demand for oil pressure and oil circulation frequency, slows down oil degradation, and adjusts the oil pump displacement for more optimized control strategies. This reduces the oil pump's power consumption, achieving a fuel-saving result of 0.14L.
As a Changan CS55 owner for two years, the BlueCore engine is actually Changan's Blue Whale series. What impresses me most is its fuel efficiency and practicality - daily commuting fuel consumption stays under 7L/100km, with smooth power delivery and jerk-free acceleration. I remember the salesperson emphasizing the Blue Whale engine's high-efficiency combustion technology during purchase, which reduces emissions and boasts strong reliability. After long-term use, maintenance costs remain low with easily replaceable parts. When friends ask about BlueCore, I simply explain it's this Blue Whale engine - common across Changan models and trustworthy. For regular family use, it enhances driving experience, especially ensuring comfort during long-distance trips.
As an automotive technology enthusiast, BlueCore refers to Changan Auto's Blue Whale engine series, which is quite outstanding in technical aspects. I've studied its turbocharging and direct fuel injection design - the optimized compression ratio improves fuel efficiency by about 15% compared to older models. The Blue Whale brand represents high efficiency and energy savings, being used in models like the Changan UNI-V with excellent emission control that meets environmental standards. Technically speaking, the electronic control system precisely manages power output, delivering quick acceleration response. I think this type of engine is well-suited for urban driving and has simple maintenance. If given the opportunity, trying Changan's new vehicles will let you experience the advantages of the Blue Whale engine firsthand.
