I know quite a bit about cars. The Changan Oshan X5 is indeed equipped with the independently developed Blue Core engine from Changan, with the 1.5T turbocharged version being particularly common. This engine has been optimized in design, delivering strong power output of over 180 horsepower, with quick response when driving—especially handy for overtaking in urban traffic—and it's also fuel-efficient, averaging around 7-8L per 100km. The Blue Core series is a core technology of Changan, having undergone endurance tests, and its reliability is quite good. For long-term use, regular maintenance is recommended, such as oil changes and checking the cooling system to avoid overheating. Compared to some joint-brand engines, it offers high cost-performance, making it suitable for those who seek performance without wanting to spend a lot. When buying the car, just open the hood and check the logo to confirm it's a Blue Core engine—both power and longevity are reliable.
