Is the Changan CS75 equipped with a Blue Whale engine?
3 Answers
Changan CS75 is equipped with a Blue Whale engine. It features a Blue Whale 1.5TGDI engine paired with an Aisin 6AT transmission, delivering a maximum power of 131kW and a maximum torque of 265N•m, with performance leading in its class. The engine details are as follows: Power Parameters: The engine's maximum torque output range is between 1750-3500rpm. As a turbocharged engine, it shows no noticeable lag after the turbo engages. Engine Advantages: The engine utilizes a high-pressure direct injection system provided by Bosch Group from Germany. High-pressure direct injection technology allows for better control of fuel injection quantity and improved atomization, enhancing both engine efficiency and fuel economy. Additionally, the engine is equipped with a dual variable valve timing system, which adjusts the opening and closing times of the intake and exhaust valves based on the engine's operating conditions. This technology helps reduce emissions, making it both economical and environmentally friendly.
As a long-time Changan owner, I've studied the CS75 inside out. The latest CS75 models are all equipped with Changan's self-developed BlueCore engines, with the current mainstay being the 1.5T BlueCore NE series – powerful yet fuel-efficient. However, if you're looking at pre-2018 models, they still used the older JL476ZQCF engine. A word of advice when buying used: pop the hood and check the nameplate. Models starting with 'JL473ZQ' are generally BlueCore-powered. This engine technology is truly top-notch, featuring high-pressure direct injection and twin-scroll turbocharging – delivering both quick acceleration and excellent fuel economy.
I've been repairing Changan vehicles for over a decade and have seen plenty of Blue Whale engines. The brand-new CS75 models at 4S shops now all come with the Blue Whale 1.5T engine, delivering a maximum of 188 horsepower, paired with an Aisin transmission for exceptionally smooth driving. Owners of older models should pay attention to distinguish - for example, the 2019 CS75 used the JL476ZQCD model which belongs to the first-generation Blue Whale, while the new NE series shows significant improvements in noise reduction and fuel efficiency. There's an aluminum nameplate in the engine compartment that doesn't lie - look for model numbers like 'JL473ZQE8' to confirm. For maintenance, use 5W-30 full synthetic oil and add the manufacturer's fuel additive with every tank - this engine will run long and efficiently.
