What engine is used in the CS75-PLUS?

[SilasMarie]

cs75-plus is equipped with the Blue Whale 1.5T turbocharged engine and 2.0T turbocharged engine. The engine model for the 1.5T variant is JL476ZQCF, while the 2.0T variant uses the JL486ZQ4 engine. More details about the cs75plus are as follows: 1. The Changan CS75-PLUS currently has 6 models on sale, featuring 2 displacement options (1.5T and 2.0T), with 2 transmission choices (manual and automatic). The engine delivers a maximum power of 171kW, maximum horsepower of 232PS, and maximum torque of 360N·m. 2. The front fascia of the Changan CS75-PLUS adopts the brand's latest "Butterfly Wing" grille design. The standard version features horizontal chrome accents, while the sport version comes with black honeycomb mesh, complemented by a slender light strip above, creating a strong sci-fi aesthetic and visual impact. 3. The side profile showcases sharp character lines that emphasize three-dimensional surfaces, particularly on the front fenders where complex lines create a muscular appearance. The rear features irregularly shaped taillights, quad exhaust pipes (dual on each side), a roof spoiler, and an aerodynamic rear diffuser - all aligning with the vehicle's youthful and sporty positioning. 4. The interior sports a black-and-red color scheme for a dynamic feel, incorporating popular elements like the dual-screen dashboard, three-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel, full-width air vents, and electronic gear selector.

I drive the second-gen CS75 PLUS, and that 1.5T Blue Whale engine is really powerful! With 173 horsepower, overtaking in the city is a breeze, and the fuel consumption is only around 8L. Last month when I drove on mountain roads, it was particularly noticeable—once the turbo kicked in at 2000 rpm, the acceleration pushed me back into the seat. The 2.0T version is even more impressive, boasting 233 horsepower paired with an Aisin 8AT. During my test drive, the car felt rock-solid even at 140 km/h. The secret lies in the twin-scroll turbo technology, which prevents exhaust interference and delivers ultra-responsive acceleration. Now, the third-gen model even offers an IDD hybrid version, slashing fuel consumption to just 5L. I’m genuinely impressed by how far domestic engines have come.

Having repaired Changan vehicles for over a decade, I can confirm the Blue Whale NE series engine in the CS75 PLUS is remarkably stable. The 1.5T model achieves an 11:1 compression ratio, and its 350bar high-pressure injector provides exceptionally fine fuel atomization, resulting in minimal carbon buildup. I've seen vehicles with 200,000 kilometers where the cylinder walls show no significant scoring. A reminder to owners: This engine strictly requires 5W-30 full synthetic oil, and during maintenance, always check the high-pressure fuel rail sealing rings – last winter alone, I repaired three units with oil seepage issues. As for the 2.0T version's variable valve lift mechanism, it's quite reliable, though replacing the ignition coils can be rather labor-intensive.

Last year, while researching engine technology, I specifically disassembled the Blue Whale 1.5T. Its dual-outlet integrated exhaust manifold design is incredibly clever. The turbocharger is positioned between the two cylinder head exhaust ports, resulting in exhaust gas flow speeds 40% faster than traditional layouts. The most noticeable improvement in actual driving is the reduced low-speed jerking—I measured it delivering 265 N·m at just 1,500 RPM. The hydraulic mounting system is also well-designed, with almost no steering wheel vibration noticeable at red lights. For family owners who frequently carry full loads, I recommend opting for the 2.0T version, especially on highways. At just 1,800 RPM, it delivers 90% of its torque, making it effortless to climb hills even with a full car.

My family has been mechanics for three generations, and the engine technology from Changan has made remarkable progress. The Blue Whale series used in the CS75 PLUS features exclusive active lubrication technology, where the oil pump automatically adjusts pressure according to the engine speed. Let me show you a detail: the piston skirt is coated with a diamond-like layer, reducing cold-start wear by 70%. Last time, when I helped a customer troubleshoot the P0172 fault code, I found it was caused by a stuck electronic exhaust valve leading to an overly rich air-fuel mixture—a common issue with the 1.5T engine. I recommend cleaning the throttle body every 30,000 km, as direct-injection engines are particularly prone to getting dirty.

Driving the hybrid version of CS75 PLUS for commuting is absolutely fantastic! The 1.5T Blue Whale engine combined with the electric motor delivers a comprehensive torque of 590 N·m, allowing it to outperform fuel-powered cars at traffic lights. Its intelligent power distribution is particularly noteworthy—the engine directly drives the wheels on highways, while it switches to pure electric mode in traffic jams. When the battery is low, the engine prioritizes generating electricity. The most surprising part is the fuel consumption of only 5.3L when the battery is depleted, which is even more economical than my colleague's CR-V hybrid. The charging port is hidden above the right rear wheel, and it takes 3 hours to fully charge with a slow charger, providing a pure electric range of 80 km, which is more than enough for daily commuting.
