Is the Changan Ouliv Engine a Suzuki Engine?

The engine in the Changan Ouliv is the latest epower series engine developed by Changan, not a Suzuki engine. Below is a related introduction to the Changan Ouliv: 1. Different company ownership: The vehicle dimensions are 3800×1700×1680mm with a wheelbase of 2505mm, making it a standard entry-level model. However, the interior space, especially the knee room in the rear seats, is relatively spacious. The flat roof and the contour of the rear trunk ensure leading headroom and trunk space among its peers. 2. Powertrain: In terms of power, the Ouliv is equipped with a 1.2L and 1.4L E-Power engine, featuring a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear trailing-arm semi-independent suspension.

I've been driving the Changan Ouliv for several years now. As an owner, I can confirm its engine indeed utilizes Suzuki technology, specifically the JL-type engine, which is based on Suzuki's K-series design, such as the K10 or K12. It drives smoothly with quick acceleration and low fuel consumption, averaging only around 6 liters per 100 kilometers in city driving. Maintenance is hassle-free as Suzuki parts are widely available and affordable. The downsides include slightly sluggish starts in winter, requiring a few minutes to warm up, and noticeable noise at high speeds. However, overall it's durable and hasn't caused me major issues. Similar models like the Beidouxing also use comparable engines, known for their reliability, making them suitable for family or commuting use. When considering a used car, it's advisable to check the engine's service history to ensure proper maintenance.

I've always been interested in car engines. The engine in the Changan Ouliv is derived from Suzuki, primarily variants of the K-series. In the early stages of production, Suzuki provided technical licensing. The design emphasizes fuel efficiency and responsiveness, with horsepower around 80 to 90, making it light to drive and agile in urban settings. I've tried my friend's Ouliv, which is stable in turns but slightly weak when climbing hills. Parts are easy to find in the aftermarket, and repairs aren't expensive. For daily maintenance, 5W-30 oil is sufficient. The engine has a long lifespan, but as it ages, there might be minor oil leakage issues, so regular valve checks are recommended. Similar models like the Venucia R30 also have Suzuki influences. Overall, it's worth recommending to friends on a budget.

The Chang'an Ouliv is a common sight in repair shops, with most of its engines being from the Suzuki series, such as the JL473Q model, which is based on the older K-type. Customers report that these engines are durable, but minor issues like ignition failures or fuel pump stalling occasionally occur. They are easy to inspect, with good parts compatibility and convenient replacement. The fuel efficiency is outstanding, with low fuel consumption per 100 kilometers and smooth acceleration, but noise levels are higher at high RPMs. Maintenance recommendations include replacing filters and spark plugs annually and avoiding overloaded driving. The quality is more stable than some purely domestic engines, making it suitable for long-term ownership.
