Is the Quality of Changan and Changan Oushang the Same?
2 Answers
There is little difference in quality between Changan and Changan Oushang. Taking the Oushang X5 as an example, here are the specific details of the Oushang X5: Vehicle Positioning: The Oushang X5 is positioned as a compact SUV, with body dimensions of 4490mm x 1860mm x 1580mm and a wheelbase of 2710mm. Safety Features: The Changan Oushang X5 adopts a high-strength steel ring body design, with high-strength steel accounting for 78%. It includes DMS (Driver Monitoring System), LDW, ACC, AEB, ESP, ABS, EBD, BAS, TCS, ultra-high-definition surround-view dashcam, cloud-eye rearview mirror, 360-degree panoramic imaging, and bodyguard mode. Suspension: It features front MacPherson independent suspension and rear torsion beam non-independent suspension.
I'm a Changan Oushang owner and have been driving it for almost two years. The quality feels decent, but there's a noticeable gap compared to Changan's mainline models. Oushang's SUVs use Changan's basic platform with shared engine and transmission components, so overall reliability is okay for daily driving without major issues. However, the interior materials feel a bit cheap and are prone to minor rattles. In contrast, Changan's CS series is more refined, with a steadier chassis and better noise control. During maintenance, I chatted with the mechanics—Oushang cut some corners in assembly to keep prices low. It's not a big flaw, but the chance of issues is slightly higher than with Changan. For family use, it's fine and handles long trips well. If you're on a budget, Oushang offers good value, just don't expect premium quality. I’d recommend checking user forums for real-world feedback, as genuine reviews tell the story better.
