Is the Changan Oushang X7 equipped with the Blue Whale engine?
2 Answers
Changan Oushang X7 is powered by the Blue Whale engine. More relevant information is as follows: 1. The function of the engine is to convert the thermal energy of gasoline into mechanical energy by burning the expanding gas in a sealed cylinder to push the piston to do work. 2. The latest Changan Oushang X7 is a compact SUV with body dimensions of length 4705mm, width 1860mm, height 1720mm, a wheelbase of 2780mm, and a curb weight of 1520kg. 3. The latest Changan Oushang X7 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 178PS, a maximum power of 131kW, a maximum torque of 265Nm, and is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
Last year when I accompanied a friend to test drive the Oshan X7, the salesperson specifically emphasized that the car was equipped with the Blue Whale NE1.5T engine, model JL476ZQCF. This engine is quite powerful—its 131 kW output makes climbing hills and overtaking effortless, while the 265 N·m torque ensures smooth driving in the city. The Blue Whale series is a star product within the Changan lineup, and its high-pressure direct injection technology keeps fuel consumption around 8L. My friend has driven 20,000 km with the dashboard showing just 7.9L. However, it's worth noting that the newer PLUS version has switched to a different model. To confirm, checking the Blue Whale logo on the engine cover is the most reliable method.
