What brand is the engine of the Oshan Kosai?
2 Answers
Oshan Kosai uses Changan's engine. Oshan Kosai is an independent brand, but it uses Changan's engine. More details about the Oshan Kosai are as follows: 1. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine equipped in the Kosai is the same as the 1.5-liter turbocharged engine in the Changan CS75, but there are some differences in tuning and power parameters. When the same engine is used in different cars, automakers generally give it different tuning. 2. The power output method of a turbocharged engine is different from that of a naturally aspirated engine. A naturally aspirated engine can only output greater torque in the mid-to-high RPM range. A turbocharged engine can output maximum torque at very low RPM ranges, so the initial power of this engine is very strong, and turbocharged engines are also more suitable for driving on stop-and-go urban roads. 3. However, turbocharged engines may lack power reserves in the high RPM range at the later stage and may also experience the phenomenon of 'dry roar without moving.' Although large-displacement naturally aspirated engines have weaker power at low RPMs, they can provide continuous power in the mid-to-high RPM ranges.
I've been driving my Oshan Kosai for a few months now. The engine is Chang'an's own brand, featuring a 1.5T turbocharger. It's quite powerful with ample performance and good fuel efficiency. Whether cruising around the city or overtaking on the highway, it handles effortlessly. Chang'an has done a great job with their engines—I've heard they've incorporated some foreign technology, making them durable with few minor issues. For new drivers considering this car, I think it's a solid choice with high cost-performance and affordable maintenance costs. Personally, I appreciate its reliability—the engine starts smoothly with a steady sound, and long drives don't feel tiring. The overall driving experience is excellent, and I highly recommend it to budget-conscious friends looking for an SUV. For maintenance, regular oil changes and avoiding unnecessary modifications can help extend the engine's lifespan.
