What engine is used in the new Oushang X7?
3 Answers
The engine of the new Oushang X7 is independently produced by Changan Company, with its production site in Chongqing, making it a domestically manufactured engine. The engine model specification for the new Oushang X7 is JL476ZQCF, with a maximum power of 131kW (5500rpm), maximum horsepower of 178Ps, and maximum torque of 265N. For the daily maintenance of the new Oushang X7's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the requirements specified by the manufacturer. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid faults, oil should be changed regularly based on usage conditions, and the oil level should be moderate. When oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, bringing contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. When the amount is small, it suspends in the oil; when large, it precipitates from the oil, blocking the filter and oil holes, causing lubrication difficulties and wear. Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I've been keeping an eye on the new Oshan X7 recently because it's equipped with a 1.5T Blue Whale turbocharged engine, which delivers quite impressive performance. This engine is independently developed by Changan, with a maximum horsepower of 188 HP and torque of 300 Nm. It feels quick off the line in city driving, making it easy to overtake at traffic lights, and it's also very stable during highway cruising. The transmission is a 7-speed wet dual-clutch, which shifts smoothly without any jerking, making it very suitable for daily commuting. Fuel consumption is decent, around 8 L/100km in the city and below 6 L/100km on the highway, and maintenance costs aren't too high either. The engine's sound insulation is well done, with almost no noise heard in the cabin, enhancing ride comfort. Considering its positioning as a family SUV, its engine technology is quite advanced in its price range, offering high value for money. I've test-driven it several times without noticing any major issues, so I'd recommend friends looking to buy an SUV to check out more real-world test data.
Let me share my perspective as an owner of the new Oshan X7's engine. I've been driving this car for half a year with that 1.5T Blue Whale powertrain. For daily errands like grocery shopping and school runs, the power delivery is linear without sudden bursts, but you can still feel the acceleration when flooring the pedal, especially on suburban roads. Fuel consumption slightly increases with AC on, averaging around 8.5L/100km in city driving, yet the engine remains responsive without lag. Noise control exceeds expectations thanks to ample sound insulation materials in the engine bay, allowing family conversations undisturbed. Maintenance-wise, the first 5,000km service cost just over 300 yuan, followed by 10,000km intervals, with readily available spare parts eliminating repair worries. This engine demonstrates strong reliability - no stalling or starting issues encountered. Overall, it's a cost-effective yet quality choice for families.
