The Changan CS85 COUPE is equipped with the BlueCore 1.5TGDI inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine and Changan's self-developed 2.0T Blue Whale engine. The 1.5-liter engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 131 kW and a maximum torque of 265 Nm. The 2.0-liter engine is matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission, providing a maximum power of 171 kW and a maximum torque of 360 Nm. The Changan CS85 COUPE is a coupe SUV from Changan's SUV family, featuring the brand's butterfly-wing-inspired front grille design for a strong visual impact. The front grille incorporates complex design elements, complemented by sharp headlights on both sides, making it highly stylish.
As a CS85COUPE owner, I’d like to share some real experiences. The car comes with either a 1.5T or 2.0T Blue Whale engine. I chose the 2.0T version, which delivers 233 horsepower—plenty of power, quick acceleration from a standstill, and effortless overtaking on highways. For daily commuting, fuel consumption is around 9L/100km, not too high and slightly more fuel-efficient than my friend’s SUV in the same class. The 8AT transmission shifts smoothly with almost no noticeable jerkiness. After driving it for over half a year, the engine runs quietly, though there’s occasional minor noise during cold starts, but it improved significantly after the break-in period. Maintenance costs are reasonable, under a few hundred bucks each time, and parts are easy to find. A tip for potential buyers: test-drive it first to feel the engine matching—the 2.0T suits those who love power, while the 1.5T is more budget-friendly. Overall, it offers great value for its price range and delivers a stable, confident drive.
