Changan CS75 is equipped with three types of engines: a 1.5T turbocharged engine, a 1.8T turbocharged engine, and the new BlueCore 280T direct-injection turbocharged engine. The following are the specific details of these three engines: 1. 1.5T turbocharged engine: Maximum power is 131 kW, maximum torque is 265 Nm, and the maximum power speed is 5500 rpm. 2. 1.8T turbocharged engine: Maximum power is 130 kW, maximum torque is 245 Nm, and the maximum power speed is 5500 rpm. 3. The new BlueCore 280T direct-injection turbocharged engine, independently developed and produced by Changan: This engine utilizes technologies such as a 200bar high-pressure fuel injection system, direct injection, turbocharging, water-cooled intercooling, and variable displacement oil pump. The new BlueCore 280T direct-injection turbocharged engine achieves a maximum power and torque of 131 kW and 265 Nm respectively, with a power output of 265 Nm at 1450 rpm.
I drive a CS75 equipped with Changan's 1.5T Blue Whale turbocharged engine, which delivers powerful performance with a maximum output of 178 horsepower. Overtaking on highways is particularly thrilling. The quick start-up response, paired with the smooth 6AT transmission, ensures no jerking during stop-and-go city driving. I find its fuel consumption well controlled, averaging 7-8L/100km in daily use, saving money especially when fuel prices are high. Maintenance is straightforward, requiring only an oil and filter change every 5,000 kilometers, some of which I can handle in my home garage. The engine operates quietly, making long drives comfortable without causing ear fatigue, thanks to the Blue Whale technology that ensures fuel efficiency and environmental performance. It handles mountain roads with ease during trips, with the turbo kicking in promptly to provide a strong push-back sensation.
As a daily driver, the CS75's 1.5T engine is particularly suitable for families, offering adequate but not aggressive power. I usually drive it to pick up and drop off my kids at school, with smooth acceleration that keeps children comfortable in the back seat. It has low fuel consumption, averaging 7.5-8L in the city and under 7L on highways, saving money. The engine layout doesn’t affect cabin space, and there’s plenty of room in the back for children's clothes, groceries, and other items. After two years of driving, it has had no issues, requiring only routine maintenance, which is hassle-free. I think the noise control is excellent; it stays quiet at idle in traffic jams, not interfering with music. The engine runs smoothly, preventing motion sickness for elderly passengers, and the spacious interior offers high practicality.
The CS75 engine is a 1.5T model from Changan's Blue Whale series, featuring turbocharging and direct fuel injection technologies. Its basic parameters include 178 horsepower and 260Nm of torque. It boasts high thermal efficiency and low fuel consumption. After driving it for a while, I found the engine to be lightweight and space-saving, with a good cooling system that offers excellent protection. For maintenance, standard engine oil is sufficient, and the oil warning light should be checked promptly.
