What engine does the 2020 Changan CS55Plus use?
2 Answers
2020 Changan CS55Plus is equipped with the JL476ZQCD engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 156 HP, a maximum power of 115 KW at 5500 rpm, and a peak torque of 225 N.m. The 2020 Changan CS55Plus engine is domestically produced, independently developed by Changan, and is part of the domestic Blue Whale engine series. For daily maintenance of the Changan CS55Plus engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid faults, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, bringing contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I bought a Changan CS55 PLUS in 2020 and have been driving it ever since. It's equipped with a 1.5T BlueCore turbocharged engine that delivers 156 horsepower and 230 Nm of torque, providing ample power for daily driving. Overtaking in the city is effortless, and the acceleration response is quick without any lag. The fuel consumption is quite economical, averaging around 7 liters on the highway and only rising to 9 liters in heavy traffic, making it noticeably fuel-efficient. In winter, it takes a few minutes to warm up before the engine reaches full power, but you get used to it. The engine noise is well-controlled, remaining quiet even at high speeds, which makes long drives comfortable. After driving it for a while, I find it reliable, with no major repairs needed—just regular oil changes and maintenance. Plus, the spacious SUV interior makes family trips easy, even on uphill roads. Overall, it offers great value for money, and driving enthusiasts would likely be satisfied with it.
