2 Answers
Changan Oushang X7 is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine across the entire lineup. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine in the Changan Oushang X7 delivers a maximum power of 131 kW and a peak torque of 265 Nm. This engine can output its maximum power at 5,500 rpm and reach its peak torque between 1,450 rpm and 4,500 rpm. It is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Changan Oushang X7 is a compact SUV under the Changan brand. The dimensions of this vehicle are 4,705 mm in length, 1,860 mm in width, and 1,720 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,780 mm.
When I previously researched the powertrain of the Oshan X7, I found it uses the Changan Blue Core 1.5T engine, model JL476ZQCF. This engine delivers a maximum power of 131kW (178 horsepower) and a torque of 265 N·m, which is quite competitive among its peers. A key feature of the Blue Core series is its 350bar high-pressure direct injection technology, providing strong low-end torque. During my test drive, I noticed the turbo kicks in around 1,500 rpm, making urban overtaking quite effortless. However, it's worth noting that this engine has a cast iron cylinder block—while durable, it's heavier than all-aluminum engines, resulting in average fuel consumption on highways. The combined fuel consumption is around 8L/100km.
