3 Answers
Changan Oushang X5 uses two types of engines in total, one is a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine. Here are the relevant details: 1. Dimensions: The Changan Oushang X5 is a compact SUV under Changan. The car has a length, width, and height of 4490 mm, 1860 mm, and 1580 mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2710 mm. 2. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine of the Changan Oushang X5: It delivers 180 horsepower and a maximum torque of 300 Nm. The engine's maximum power is achieved at 5500 rpm, and the maximum torque is available between 1250 to 3500 rpm. This engine features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 3. The 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine: It produces 128 horsepower and a maximum torque of 161 Nm. This engine also features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a CVT transmission. Using a CVT transmission can improve the car's gearshift smoothness and fuel economy.
I've been driving the Changan Oshan X5 for almost two years now, and as an ordinary car owner, its engine has left a deep impression on me. It's equipped with Changan's Blue Whale NE series 1.5T turbocharged gasoline engine, delivering a maximum power of 180 horsepower and 300 N·m of torque, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The car accelerates quickly from a standstill and maintains stable performance when overtaking on highways. For daily city driving, the fuel consumption is around 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers. Maintenance isn't expensive either, with minor services every six months costing just a few hundred yuan. Despite its large body, the power is more than sufficient for family outings, whether it's hauling goods or weekend trips, making it very worry-free. The engine is overall smooth and quiet, feeling more agile compared to the Haval H6 I test-drove before. It's definitely worth recommending to family SUV enthusiasts.
With nearly 20 years of experience in auto repair, I can say the Changan Oshan X5's 1.5T Blue Whale engine is quite reliable. Its main issue is occasional high-pressure fuel pump noise, but regular oil changes during maintenance can prevent this. The engine delivers 180 horsepower and 300 Nm of torque with smooth acceleration—just be mindful of turbo cooling by avoiding immediate shutdown after hard braking. I recommend checking the air filter and spark plugs every 5,000 km; parts are affordable and easy to replace. Compared to peers like the Tiggo 8's engine which has higher maintenance costs, the Oshan X5 holds a significant advantage in this aspect.
