2 Answers
Under normal circumstances, the failure rate of the Changan Blue Whale engine is not high. Here is some relevant information about the Changan Blue Whale engine: 1. Technical aspects: The Changan Blue Whale engine belongs to the Changan Blue Whale NE power platform, a modular platform developed by Changan over several years, offering multiple engine displacements. The engine primarily features high-pressure direct injection technology. 2. Power aspects: The Blue Whale 2.0T turbocharged engine delivers a maximum power of 233 HP and a peak torque of 360 Nm, with the maximum torque intervention speed at 1750 rpm.
I've been driving with the Blue Whale engine for three years, and the failure rate is really low—it runs very smoothly. There was just a slight vibration in the first year, but replacing a spark plug fixed it. For daily city driving, the fuel consumption is economical, and the engine noise is minimal. On online forums, many praise its reliability, especially among Changan owners, who report very few failure cases—most issues stem from delayed maintenance. I change the oil on time and check the air filter regularly, and I've never encountered any major problems. Compared to other domestic engines my friends use, the Blue Whale leads in durability. I recommend that new drivers stick to regular maintenance to ensure the engine provides long-term, stable service.
