What engine is used in the CS15?
2 Answers
CS15 is equipped with an EA15 high-performance engine independently developed by Changan Automobile, with a maximum power of 78.5kW, maximum power speed of 5500rpm, and maximum torque of 145Nm. The CS15 is a compact SUV under Changan Automobile, inheriting the brand's unique design language. Its original and sharp front grille highlights an unconventional and rugged temperament, seamlessly integrated with the dynamic and poised body design. The CS15 includes four new models: 1.5MT Comfort Edition, 1.5MT Fashion Edition, 1.5MT Luxury Edition, and 1.5MT Premium Edition.
As a seasoned car enthusiast who frequently researches vehicles, I'm quite familiar with the CS15's powertrain combination. Changan employs its in-house Blue Core 1.5L naturally aspirated engine (model JL473QF), whose four-cylinder design delivers smooth operation. With 107 horsepower and 145 N·m of torque, it's adequately powered for daily commuting, paired with either a 5-speed manual or wet dual-clutch transmission. Particularly noteworthy is its DVVT technology - the dual variable valve timing system effectively controls fuel consumption, achieving around 7L/100km in urban driving. Having driven a friend's automatic variant, I noticed occasional hesitation during low-speed gear shifts, but the engine noise is well-contained, remaining tolerable even when revving up to 4,000 RPM.
