COS is a mid-size SUV produced by Changan Automobile, with the full name Changan Oshan Kosai. As a mid-size SUV, the Changan Oshan Kosai has body dimensions of 4830mm in length, 1868mm in width, and 1775mm in height. It is front-wheel drive across all variants and is equipped with a 1.5-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine. This engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 178 hp, a maximum power output of 131 kW, and a peak torque of 165 Nm. In terms of transmission, the Changan Oshan Kosai offers a choice between a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic transmission. From an exterior design perspective, the Changan Oshan Kosai adopts an all-new design language.
I've been researching car brands for over a decade, and I must say COS is actually a series launched by Zotye Auto, such as the COS1° model launched in 2018. It's positioned as an economical SUV, mainly targeting young family markets. As a Chinese domestic brand, Zotye was established early but has faced challenges in recent years. The COS series features fashionable designs, offers a 1.5T engine option, and provides spacious interiors with high cost-performance. I think it's quite economical for city commuting, with fuel consumption around 8L/100km. Although the interior has a strong plastic feel, it's well-equipped with features like rearview cameras. Compared to competitors like the Haval H6, it's more affordable but has average quality feedback, with common minor issues such as noise problems. When buying a new car, it's advisable to test drive several times to check the details. Currently, Zotye is undergoing transformation, and such models represent the efforts of domestic fuel vehicles, making them worth paying attention to.
