The curb weight of the Oshan X7 ranges between 1900 to 2075 kilograms. The vehicle's dimensions are 4705mm in length, 1860mm in width, and 1720mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2780mm, positioning it as a compact SUV. The exterior features a hexagonal front grille, natural light compound headlights, and dual-tone straight-cut alloy wheels. In terms of intelligence, the Oshan X7 is equipped with a 5G smart car chip IMX8, a remote video system, ultra-high-definition 360-degree panoramic imaging, an ultra-high-definition surround-view driving recorder, and a fully automatic parking system. For power, it comes with a 1.5TGDI engine delivering a maximum power of 178 horsepower and a maximum torque of 265 N·m, paired with a wet 7DCT automatic transmission.

I just checked the specs of the Oshan X7, and the curb weight really depends on the configuration. The manual transmission base model is around 1530kg, while the automatic transmission top trim with features like a panoramic sunroof can go up to 1620kg. It's about 100kg heavier than Japanese SUVs in the same class, but the chassis materials are solid. The fuel consumption is slightly higher, about 0.5 liters more per 100km in city driving. I drove a friend's car before, and it feels really stable when cornering.

As someone who frequently helps others choose cars, I've noticed that many people overlook the kerb weight. For example, the Oshan X7 Automatic Luxury Edition has a kerb weight of 1,580kg, which can easily approach 2 tons when loaded with passengers and luggage. Weight has significant impacts: it affects braking distance and body roll during cornering. Once, I drove it on a mountain road in the rain, and the heavier body actually provided better grip. However, tire wear tends to be faster compared to lighter vehicles, so I recommend regular wheel alignments.

Tested the vehicle in its empty fuel tank state with basic equipment: the 1.5T manual Elite version weighs 1540kg, while the automatic Premium version weighs 1600kg. The weight primarily comes from the high-strength steel body, and the rear suspension is still multi-link. It's 80kg heavier than the Baojun 560, but offers significantly better noise insulation and vibration filtering. For fuel efficiency, the automatic transmission is recommended, as the Blue Whale engine with direct injection technology handles this weight just right.

20 years of car repair experience tells me that a car's weight is like a horse's weight. The Oshan X7 manual transmission weighs just over 1.5 tons, while the automatic version is close to 1.6 tons, belonging to the type that's strong but consumes more fuel. The advantage is stability at high speeds, but components like the steering gear bushing and lower control arm rubber bushings will wear out about 20,000 kilometers earlier than in lighter cars like the Fit. It's recommended to inspect the chassis components every 40,000 kilometers, and when replacing tires, choosing a 55 aspect ratio can provide more cushioning.

When comparing cars, I looked at the Haval H6 and found the Oshan X7 Automatic Flagship Edition is slightly heavier at 1620kg, mainly due to more sound insulation materials used. The difference is noticeable in actual driving: wind noise is much lower at 110km/h, and there's less body sway when going over speed bumps. Pay attention to details for heavier vehicles: brake pads need inspection at 30,000 km, and use fully synthetic 5W-30 engine oil. For long trips, maintain tire pressure at 2.3bar for both fuel efficiency and suspension protection.
