What engine is equipped in the Changan CS85?

[MacElliot]

Changan CS85 is equipped with two types of engines, model numbers JL486ZQ4 and JL476ZQCF. The JL486ZQ4 engine has a maximum horsepower of 233, a maximum power of 171kw, a maximum power speed of 5500rpm, and a peak torque of 360N.m. The JL476ZQCF engine has a maximum horsepower of 178, a maximum power of 131kw, a maximum power speed of 5500rpm, and a peak torque of 265N.m. Changan CS85 uses the Blue Whale engine independently developed by Changan Automobile. In terms of actual driving performance, this engine performs very well. For daily maintenance of the Changan CS85 engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB_CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid faults, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and keep the oil volume moderate. When oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and bring contaminants back to the lubrication parts, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gas, acid, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. A small amount of sludge remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, clogging the filter and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

I've used the Changan CS85 for a while, and it's equipped with Changan's Blue Whale series engines, specifically two versions: one is a 1.5T turbocharged engine, and the other is a 2.0T turbocharged engine. I drove the 2.0T version, and it feels very powerful, delivering around 233 horsepower with particularly fast acceleration, especially when overtaking on the highway, which gives me a lot of confidence. The fuel economy is also quite good; the official claim is about 8 liters per 100 kilometers, slightly higher in actual city driving, but still more economical than some vehicles in the same class. This engine uses advanced technologies like direct fuel injection and a twin-scroll turbocharger, reducing vibrations and overall noise control is excellent. Regular maintenance isn’t expensive either—just an oil and filter change every 10,000 kilometers—and I trust its reliability. If you enjoy a bit of spirited driving, this car is definitely worth a try.

I've studied the powertrain of the Changan CS85, which is equipped with the Blue Whale turbocharged engine, offering two options: 1.5T and 2.0T. The 2.0T version delivers a power output of 233 horsepower and a torque of around 360 Nm, providing quick acceleration response, especially with the turbo kicking in swiftly at low RPMs, enhancing urban driving convenience. Technically, it features an aluminum alloy cylinder block and intelligent thermal management, reducing cooling issues, and pairs smoothly with an 8-speed automatic transmission. In terms of fuel consumption, my test drives showed stable figures between 7.5 to 9 liters per 100 km, making it economical for long-term use. With low daily maintenance costs and a streamlined engine design that minimizes potential failure points, it's ideal for drivers seeking high performance.

Our family chose the Changan CS85 as our family car, equipped with the Blue Whale 1.5T turbocharged engine, which runs smoothly and worry-free. The power is sufficient for family trips, effortlessly handling uphill drives, and its fuel consumption for daily city commuting is well-controlled, averaging 8.5 liters per 100 kilometers. The engine operates quietly with minimal seat vibration, so the kids don't complain in the back seats. In terms of safety, it comes with a stability control system, making handling light and agile. I've used it for over a year without any major issues, and maintenance is straightforward—just replacing the air filter every six months at a low cost. Overall, it's practical and reliable.
