Changan Oushang CX70 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. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 150 horsepower and a maximum torque of 230 Nm, while the 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 117 horsepower and a maximum torque of 150 Nm. Changan Oushang CX70 is a mid-size SUV, with dimensions of 4680 mm in length, 1800 mm in width, and 1775 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2780 mm. The drive system of the Changan Oushang CX70 is front-engine, rear-wheel drive, with a front suspension using MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension using a semi-independent suspension with spiral spring five-link.
I've used the Changan Oushang CX70 for a while, which mainly comes with the 1.6L naturally aspirated engine. The power delivery is smooth, perfectly adequate for city commuting. I find the throttle response quite quick, with stable starts and minimal noise in traffic jams. I've also tried the 1.5T turbocharged version, which offers stronger acceleration, making overtaking and hill climbing effortless and enjoyable. The BlueCore series technology is reliable, with fuel efficiency ranking above average among SUVs. My daily commute fuel consumption is around 9L, which isn't too high. However, it's important to note that the turbo version requires regular maintenance, such as oil changes and intake system cleaning. Neglecting these can lead to carbon buildup issues that affect performance. Overall, the engine design is simple and durable. After driving tens of thousands of kilometers, I haven't encountered any major issues. I recommend the 1.6L version for family users—it's worry-free and economical.
