As someone who pays attention to automotive details, I know the core power of the Changan CS15 comes from a 1.5-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated gasoline engine, model JL473QF. With a displacement of approximately 1.5 liters, it delivers a standard output of 78 kilowatts (105 horsepower) and 145 Newton-meters of torque. The engine is designed with multi-point fuel injection technology, optimizing fuel efficiency and emissions while meeting environmental compliance standards. In daily driving, the engine responds promptly, handling uphill and bridge climbs effortlessly, though acceleration is slightly slower compared to turbocharged (T) engines. Officially, the combined fuel consumption is rated at 6.5L/100km by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, while real-world tests typically show around 7L. Maintenance recommendations include regular checks of spark plugs and filters. This engine is known for its reliability, excellent noise control, and is an ideal choice for entry-level SUVs, featuring mature technology that is less prone to breakdowns.

Driving the Changan CS15, its engine is a 1.5L naturally aspirated gasoline engine, and after more than a year of use, the experience has been great. It starts smoothly in congested city traffic, has sufficient power when climbing hills, and accelerates smoothly without air conditioning, with an average fuel consumption of 7.2L/100km, which is quite economical. I've driven it on mountain roads and highways, and the engine has never overheated or stalled. Maintenance is simple and inexpensive. It's suitable for daily use, without fancy technology but reliable and durable. After long-term use, there are no major issues, and even beginners can easily get the hang of it.

When I first bought the car, I did some research. The Changan CS15 is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated gasoline engine, which provides ample power for daily commuting.

The power feels slightly insufficient when the air conditioning is on, but overall it runs smoothly with low noise and good comfort. In terms of maintenance, the engine design is simple, and parts are cheap and easy to replace. Compared to other small SUVs, it may lack the explosive power of turbocharged engines, but it's fuel-efficient, stable, and highly practical—I've had almost no issues in two years of driving.
