What engine does the Changan Oulive have?

[Megan]

Changan Oulive is equipped with a 1.2L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine. The 1.2L naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 55 kW and a maximum torque of 177 Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The Changan Oulive is a compact car with body dimensions of 3800mm in length, 1700mm in width, and 1680mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2505mm. In terms of suspension, the Oulive uses a MacPherson independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. The torsion beam suspension is compact, structurally simple, and occupies relatively little space.

I have quite a bit of driving experience, and recently I was chatting with a friend about the Changan Ouliv. Its engines are really quite distinctive. Mainly, there are the 1.2L and 1.4L gasoline engines, with model numbers JL473Q and JL474Q respectively, both featuring an inline four-cylinder naturally aspirated design. The 1.2L engine delivers about 66 kW, providing smooth starts in city driving, with an average fuel consumption of around 6.5L/100km. The 1.4L upgrade boosts power to 74 kW, giving more confidence when overtaking on highways, with slightly higher fuel consumption but still maintained around 7L with good control. These engines inherit Suzuki's foundation, featuring mature technology and high reliability—after tens of thousands of kilometers, they rarely have issues. However, the engine noise is relatively loud, especially noticeable during traffic jams. Fortunately, the parts are cheap, and routine maintenance is simple, requiring oil and filter changes every 5,000 km. Overall, they are economical and practical but not suited for aggressive driving, making them ideal for commuting or small businesses.

After driving the Changan Ouliv for several years, I feel its engine is truly a practical representative. With just two options, the 1.2L and 1.4L, both are naturally aspirated four-cylinder gasoline engines. In daily driving, the 1.2L offers gentle power, smooth starts, and good fuel efficiency; the 1.4L provides more punch, making it reliable for long trips. Fuel consumption generally ranges between 6-8 liters, depending on road conditions—it's slightly higher with the AC on in summer but still manageable. Maintenance-wise, there haven't been major issues. Using branded engine oil doesn’t cost much, and I do routine checks every six months. Carbon buildup occasionally occurs but doesn’t affect performance. The only gripe is the wind noise overpowering the engine sound at high speeds, but the affordable price and decent resale value in the used car market make up for it. Compared to similar models like the Wuling Hongguang, Changan’s engine is more fuel-efficient but has slightly more vibration—installing a muffler is recommended. Overall, it’s a high-value, low-maintenance car.

As a car enthusiast, the Changan Ouliewei is equipped with either a 1.2L or 1.4L gasoline engine, models JL473Q and JL474Q, featuring an inline-four naturally aspirated configuration. The power delivery is balanced when driving, with a fuel consumption of approximately 6.7L/100km. It offers smooth city commuting but slower acceleration during sudden speed increases. Maintenance is straightforward, requiring 5W-30 engine oil with changes every 5,000 kilometers. Common issues include intake carbon buildup, which can be mitigated with regular cleaning to extend engine life. The design inherits Suzuki technology, ensuring strong durability. Noise control is average but can be improved with modifications. It is an economical choice with widely available and affordable parts, making it suitable for budget-conscious users.
