As an owner of the Changan CX20, it's equipped with Changan's in-house 1.4-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, and I recall the model number is JL473Q. This engine runs quite smoothly; acceleration isn't aggressive in the city, but it's sufficient for daily commuting. The fuel consumption performance is satisfying—around 7 liters per 100 km in urban areas with air conditioning on, and it can drop below 6 liters on highways. Maintenance is relatively straightforward, requiring an oil change every 5,000 km, and service station fees are affordable. However, attention should be paid to the spark plugs and ignition coils—my car had an ignition issue after three years, which was resolved after replacement. Engine noise is somewhat noticeable at idle, but it doesn’t affect the driving pleasure once on the move. Overall, this engine is reliable and durable, with no major issues, making it suitable for practical users like me who prioritize economy. It handles small slopes effortlessly, even with the whole family on board occasionally.
