Is Changan Oshan a Joint Venture or Domestic Car?
2 Answers
Changan Oshan's vehicles are all domestic cars. Changan Oshan is a new passenger car brand under Changan Automobile. Changan Oshan offers many SUV and MPV models. The MPV models under Changan Oshan include the Changan Oshan A600, Changan Oshan A800, Changan Oshan Changxing, Changan Oshan Kosai, and others. Currently, Changan Oshan's product lineup includes the Changan Oshan X7, Changan Oshan X7 Geeker Edition, Changan Oshan X7 PLUS, Changan Oshan X5, Changan Oshan Kosai Pro, Changan Oshan Kosai Pro GT Edition, Changan Oshan Kosai 5, Changan Oshan Kosai, Changan Oshan X7 EV, and Changan Oshan Kosai EV. The Changan Oshan Kosai is a mid-size MPV, equipped with two types of engines: a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine.
Speaking of Changan Oushang, I've been driving the Oushang X5 for almost three years now, so I know it very well. It's a genuine domestic car! The big boss behind it is Chongqing Changan Automobile Group, with local teams handling the technology R&D, and the production lines are all domestic too. However, the name 'Oushang' can be a bit confusing—at first glance, it sounds like a European joint venture. Actually, just like Baojun and Wuling, it's a local brand with a fancy name to elevate its image. The localization rate of the car parts is particularly high, making repairs very affordable, something all owners can attest to.
