2 Answers
Changan Oushang X5 is equipped with two types of engines: a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. Below are detailed introductions to these two engines: X5's 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine: The 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine of the X5 delivers 128 horsepower and a maximum torque of 161 Nm. This engine features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. X5's 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine: The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine of the X5 delivers 180 horsepower and a maximum torque of 300 Nm. The engine's maximum power is achieved at 5500 rpm, and the maximum torque is available between 1250 to 3500 rpm. This engine also features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.
As a long-time follower of domestic cars, I find the engine configuration of the Changan Oushang X5 truly reassuring. It is equipped with Changan's self-developed Blue Whale NE series engines, available in both 1.6L naturally aspirated and 1.5T turbocharged versions. The Blue Whale engine is considered Changan's flagship technology, delivering exceptionally quick power response, especially the 1.5T version with its 132 kW maximum power, making high-speed overtaking very stable. Fuel consumption is also well controlled—my car averages just over 7L/100km in the city and even less on long trips. Once, during a road trip with friends on mountainous roads, the engine showed no power drop even after half an hour of continuous uphill driving, and the engine noise remained very low. Domestic engine technology has advanced rapidly, and the Blue Whale series has even won the 'China Heart' Top 10 Engine award, with quality fully on par with joint-venture brands. It’s more than sufficient and worry-free for daily family use.
