3 Answers
Changan Eado uses a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine. Taking the 2020 Changan Eado as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4730 mm, width 1820 mm, height 1505 mm, wheelbase 2700 mm, fuel tank capacity 53 liters, and trunk capacity 500 liters. The 2020 Changan Eado has a maximum horsepower of 158 hp, maximum power of 116 kW, maximum torque of 260 N·m, and is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It adopts MacPherson independent suspension and torsion beam non-independent suspension.
As an automotive technology enthusiast, I'm very familiar with the engine of the Changan Eado. It mainly features the Blue Core 1.4T turbocharged engine with a displacement of 1.4 liters, paired with direct fuel injection technology for more precise fuel delivery and high combustion efficiency. The power output is quite strong, delivering approximately 158 horsepower and 260 Nm of torque, providing quick response and stable acceleration. This engine is developed by Changan on their in-house Blue Core NE platform, featuring advanced technology and good noise control. In daily use, it offers reliable fuel consumption - around 7 liters per 100 km in urban areas and just over 5 liters on highways, comparable to Japanese cars in the same class. Maintenance is convenient with readily available parts at reasonable costs, and reliability test data shows low failure rates even after several years of use, making it suitable for urban commuting and family use.
I've been driving the Changan Eado for almost three years now, equipped with the 1.4T Blue Whale engine, and it's been very satisfying for daily commuting. It starts up quietly with smooth acceleration, and overtaking on the highway is effortless. The fuel consumption is impressively low—around 7.5 liters in city traffic jams, and only half a tank is needed for a 500-600 km highway trip. Maintenance is simple and inexpensive, just changing the oil and filter, and the build quality is robust with no major issues. Occasionally, friends riding in my car comment on how quiet and vibration-free the engine is. The ample power makes it ideal for family trips with luggage, never feeling sluggish. Compared to my previous car, the Eado's engine is noticeably more reliable and a joy to drive, being agile and fatigue-free.
