Is there any difference between Changan Oushang S and Oushang?

There are differences between Changan Oushang S and Oushang. Extended relevant information is as follows: 1. The engine used in Oushang is the old model Dongan Mitsubishi, while Oushang S uses the new technology Jiangling JL473QG engine, which is the same engine as the X70A. 2. Changan Oushang S has a fashionable and grand appearance, spacious and practical space, and rich configurations. The vehicle integrates the comfort and versatility of an MPV, the sportiness and off-road capability of an SUV, the luxury and safety of a sedan, and the economic benefits of a micro car, perfectly combining six major advantages including stylish appearance, super large space, front-engine rear-wheel drive, and flexible handling. 3. Changan Oushang S maintains a simple design style for the interior, which is more refined than the old model, and the entire dashboard is relatively fashionable. It still adopts a 2+2+3 layout, and in terms of configuration, the new car has added a 7-inch touch screen, a dashcam, front dual airbags, front parking radar, keyless entry/start, leather seats, etc., which also offers certain cost-effectiveness among models in the same class.
I previously owned two Changan Oushang models, an older Oushang and an Oushang S, and I clearly felt that the Oushang S is more stylish. In terms of exterior design, the front fascia has been redesigned with sharper headlights featuring LED elements, and the overall body lines are more dynamic. The interior uses soft materials and a touchscreen, giving it a much more modern feel. The seats offer better support, and the handling is stable, with no slipping on curves. Compared to the older Oushang, the S version has slightly optimized space layout, allowing for more legroom, and the engine has been tuned for quicker acceleration. However, the increased weight leads to slightly higher fuel consumption, though noise insulation has improved significantly, making highway driving quieter. If you prefer a fashionable design or often drive long distances, the Oushang S offers a better experience. I recommend taking a test drive to feel the differences.
As a family car, I prioritize practicality and safety. The Ouno S has upgraded many details compared to the Ouno: the three-row seats are more flexible, and the rear trunk storage is convenient for strollers; it adds airbags and ABS system, making trips with kids more reassuring; the suspension is softened, reducing bumps on rough roads. The older Ouno model has sufficient space but simple configurations, with relatively hard seats. The S version also improves electronic devices like the rearview camera, making operations more intuitive. In daily use, both are durable, but after switching to the S, long-distance comfort has improved, the air conditioning cools faster, and maintenance costs are similar, requiring only regular fluid checks. If safety upgrades are a priority, choose the new S version; the older model offers good value for money but is somewhat outdated.
