Kosai generally uses two engines, which are: 1. A 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 178 horsepower and a maximum torque of 265 Nm. This engine can output maximum power at 5500 rpm and maximum torque at 4500 rpm. This engine is equipped with direct injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. 2. A 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 233 horsepower and a maximum torque of 360 Nm. This engine can output maximum power at 5500 rpm. This engine is equipped with direct injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and a cast iron cylinder block. It is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Below is some additional information about the Kosai: The Changan Oushang Kosai is a mid-size SUV, with a very attractive exterior design and a spacious interior.
I've driven the Changan Oshan Kosai, which is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine from Changan's Blue Whale series. This engine delivers around 178 horsepower and 260 Nm of torque. For daily driving, it feels sufficiently powerful, making overtaking easy. The official fuel consumption is about 7 liters per 100 km, but in my actual mixed city and highway driving, it averages around 8 liters. This engine uses direct injection technology, offering quick response and good noise control. Especially when paired with the automatic transmission, acceleration is very smooth. Personally, I think it's more cost-effective than some joint-brand models in the same segment, like the Honda CR-V's 1.5T, and it's simpler to maintain with high overall reliability, making it suitable for family use. I chose it mainly because Changan has made significant progress in engine technology in recent years. This engine is a standout domestic product, and it doesn't cause fatigue even on long drives.
The Kosai is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, which I find quite suitable for daily commuting. It starts smoothly without feeling sluggish, maintains stable cruising at high speeds, responds quickly during acceleration, and provides sufficient power for uphill driving without needing to floor the throttle. In terms of fuel consumption, the official data is around 7.2L per 100km. After driving it for over half a year, I've observed that it reaches about 9L in congested city traffic, but drops to just 6.5L on highways, making it overall fuel-efficient and economical. Noise control is excellent, keeping the cabin quiet enough for conversations. I recommend testing its performance on rough roads—the torque distribution ensures a smoother ride over bumpy sections. The engine design emphasizes daily durability, with routine maintenance like oil changes costing just a few hundred yuan.
I think the Kosai is equipped with Changan's 1.5T engine, which is very worry-free to maintain. The maintenance interval is a basic check every 5,000 kilometers, and changing the oil and filter usually costs just a few hundred yuan. It has good durability; I drove it for over two years without major repairs and with few minor issues. The power output is smooth, acceleration is linear, and the fuel economy saves money in the long run. Common problems like carbon deposits are easy to clean, and it's recommended to regularly clean the throttle valve to extend its lifespan.
