The engine of the Changan Oushang A800 is a Changan independent brand. The Changan Oushang A800 uses two engines in total, one is a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine. The Changan Oushang A800 is an MPV model under Changan, with a length, width, and height of 4810 mm, 1795 mm, and 1730 mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2760 mm. The Changan Oushang A800 integrates a fashionable and elegant exterior design, imaginative intelligent configurations, and unique and comfortable respiratory health features. With its breathable, intelligent, spacious, extremely safe, ultra-quiet, strong handling, and high-quality characteristics, it provides passengers with a 'journey of good times all the way.'
I've been into cars for quite some time. The engine in the Changan Oushang A800 is Changan's self-developed brand, specifically the 1.5T Blue Whale series power unit, delivering around 156 horsepower. It also utilizes turbocharging and direct injection technology to improve fuel efficiency. When driving, the power feels smooth, especially during mid-range acceleration, without the sluggishness you might experience with some small-displacement cars at startup. Noise control is well done, making city driving quite quiet, though wind noise becomes slightly noticeable at high speeds. Fuel economy is also decent, with my real-world testing showing a combined fuel consumption of around 8L/100km, and it runs fine on 92-octane gasoline. Changan has made significant progress in engine technology in recent years, and the Blue Whale series is reliable and durable, offering much better value for money compared to imported brands. Routine maintenance is straightforward, with oil and filter changes keeping it in good condition, making it well-suited for family car needs.
I've been using the Changan Oushang A800 for two years now. The engine is Changan's own brand, a 1.5T model, with adequate power but not particularly strong. For daily commuting, the power response is decent, and overtaking becomes easier once the turbo kicks in, though it feels a bit sluggish at startup. In terms of fuel consumption, it can reach 9L in city traffic, but drops below 7L during highway cruising. The key to saving fuel is to maintain steady throttle and avoid aggressive acceleration. The engine's reliability has been satisfactory, with no issues in two years. Maintenance costs about 200 yuan at local shops, but it's important to clean carbon deposits to prevent reduced turbo efficiency. This engine is often discussed in car owner groups, being smoother than the Baojun 730 and quieter than the Wuling Hongguang, making it suitable for budget-conscious ordinary car owners.
