What is the curb weight of the Changan Oushang X7?
2 Answers
Changan Oushang X7 has a good curb weight. Below is relevant information about vehicle curb weight: Impact on manufacturing costs: Semi-trailers, cement mixers, and other vehicles also use high-strength steel for their upper structures, further enhancing the transport capacity of sprinkler trucks. In the future, vehicle lightweighting, environmental protection, and energy efficiency will be the direction of automotive development, continuously reducing curb weight. Impact on fuel economy: Curb weight affects the manufacturing cost and fuel economy of sprinkler trucks. Specialized vehicles focus on lightweighting, environmental protection, energy efficiency, and safety. By optimizing structures, using high-strength steel components, aluminum alloys, non-metallic composite materials, and other methods, the overall curb weight can be minimized to increase cargo or passenger capacity and save fuel.
I've researched the Changan Oshan X7's specifications. As an automotive enthusiast, its curb weight is approximately 1,590 kg, which is medium-to-heavy among SUVs. It feels very stable to drive, with minimal body sway during high-speed driving and good handling. The heavier weight means slightly higher fuel consumption – my experience shows a combined 9-10 liters per 100 km – but this trades off for excellent rollover resistance, especially providing greater safety on curves and in rain/snow conditions. Compared to similar-class vehicles like the Tiggo 8, it's slightly heavier but offers more spacious interior room, making family trips more comfortable without excessive bumpiness. I'd advise potential buyers to consider weight's impact on fuel economy, though regular tire and engine maintenance can optimize performance. Weight also affects braking distance – you'll need to brake earlier at city traffic lights and avoid sudden acceleration. Overall, the X7's weight design is quite balanced, prioritizing safety and durability.
