Changan Automobile uses the following engines: 1. In the early stages, it mainly used the H-series engines, which are inline 4-cylinder, 16-valve, all-aluminum engines. These are the results of Changan Automobile's independent research and development by integrating international advanced technologies, possessing complete independent intellectual property rights; 2. Jiangling brand engines produced by Jiangling Machinery Factory, a subsidiary of Changan Group. The Escort is a compact sedan produced by Changan Ford, featuring a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. Its body dimensions are 4587mm in length, 1825mm in width, and 1490mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2687mm. In terms of power, it is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

As an automotive enthusiast, I've been closely following the engine development of Changan Automobile. I remember a few years ago they were still using some Mitsubishi or Ford engines, but now they mainly promote their own Blue Whale series. Popular models like the CS75 and UNI-T are mostly equipped with Blue Whale turbocharged engines. Take the Blue Whale 1.5T for example - it offers strong power while being fuel-efficient, delivering smooth acceleration in daily driving. I've also studied the technical details: Changan has reduced fuel consumption to around 6L through efficient combustion systems and lightweight design, which is more economical than many joint-venture brands. Of course, the engine reliability is good, maintenance isn't expensive, and the extended oil change intervals make it worry-free. A friend who drives a UNI-V with this engine says it handles long trips effortlessly without any stress. I genuinely recommend learning more about the evolution of the Blue Whale series.

I'm the type who loves digging into technical details, so talking about Changan engines gets me excited. Their most widely used model is the in-house developed Blue Core engine, available in 1.4T and 1.5T displacements, commonly found in the CS series like the CS55. Engine features: direct fuel injection plus variable valve timing technology, with thermal efficiency exceeding 38%, which means powerful output without guzzling fuel. Excellent low-speed torque makes hill climbing effortless on mountain roads. Compared to older models, the Blue Core has reduced noise and upgraded vibration control. Some reviews show 0-100km/h acceleration in about 8 seconds - pretty realistic figures. Owners using this engine often praise its reliability, with few minor issues. Maintenance like spark plug replacement is affordable, just remember to follow the manual for servicing.

I've been driving the Changan CS35 for several years, and from my personal experience, the engine is the Blue Whale 1.4T. For daily commuting, the power is sufficient and fuel-efficient, costing about 50 cents per kilometer. It starts quickly and quietly, which is not annoying in traffic jams. The engine is durable—I've driven 80,000 kilometers without major repairs, just regular oil changes. I suggest checking the configuration sheet before buying a new car to confirm it's the Blue Whale series; don't just believe the ads, check the actual car. A friend's Changan also uses the same engine, which is agile in the city. Occasionally on the highway, it can accelerate steadily. The maintenance cycle is slightly longer, with intervals of 10,000 kilometers, making it convenient and cost-effective. Overall, I'm satisfied—the engine is reliable and easy to maintain.
