The difference between Changan Oushang and Changan Automobile is that Changan Automobile is the company, while Changan Oushang is just one of the car models under the Changan Automobile company. Interior of Changan Oushang: The interior design of Changan Oushang is very avant-garde and technological, featuring a combination of black materials and silver decorations. The most notable feature is the fully digital LCD integrated instrument panel, along with a large-sized display for the human-machine interaction system, rearview camera, hill-start assist, traction control system, multifunctional steering wheel, Bluetooth phone, electric sunroof, and other configurations. The new car also performs well in terms of noise reduction, with an interior noise level of only 39 decibels at idle. Space in Changan Oushang: It adopts a 2+3+2 seating layout, with foldable second and third-row seats, allowing for a very flat trunk space when the seats are folded down. Powertrain: Oushang will be equipped with a 1.5L engine.

I've personally experienced the difference between Changan Oushang and Changan. Changan is the general name of the automobile group, like an elder-level old brand, covering various models such as sedans and SUVs, with solid and reliable craftsmanship but relatively conservative design; Changan Oushang, on the other hand, is their sub-brand, targeting young consumers, with more emphasis on SUVs and MPVs, not to mention affordable prices, and a more fashionable and sporty appearance. For example, I have a Changan CS75, which is steady and durable, while my friend's Changan Oushang X7 is light and good-looking, suitable for urban commuting. In the end, Oushang was launched to attract the post-90s and post-00s market, with a more segmented positioning and a lower price range, suitable for groups with limited budgets. If you want to buy a practical and cost-effective car, Oushang is definitely worth a look; if you pursue a classic brand image, Changan's traditional series is more reliable. In short, both are good choices, depending on your needs and preferences.

I've been following automotive news, and the difference between Changan and Changan Oushang can be simply summarized as a difference in brand strategy. Changan Automobile is a long-established state-owned enterprise with a wide product line, ranging from compact sedans to MPVs, and series like the EADO have a good reputation. Changan Oushang, on the other hand, is a new sub-brand launched in 2018, specifically targeting the youth market with trendy designs, such as the stylish interior of the Z6 model, and generally offers lower prices compared to similar Changan models. I've seen many family users choose Changan Oushang because of its high cost-performance ratio and lower maintenance costs. In fact, Oushang can be seen as Changan's younger sibling in a niche market, catering to the economically practical crowd. Don't forget, when buying a car, a test drive can help you feel the difference—Oushang offers more agile handling, while Changan provides a more balanced experience. There's no right or wrong in this distinction; it purely depends on personal style and budget.

From my perspective, the biggest difference between Changan Oushang and Changan lies in their product positioning. Changan is the parent brand, offering a wide range of classic models with strong reliability; Oushang is a sub-series, focusing on SUVs/MPVs with a youthful style and affordable pricing, targeting cost-conscious consumers. In real-world experience, Oushang's designs are more fashionable.

What type of driver's license is required for a 4.2-meter vehicle?

A 4.2-meter truck is a transitional model that can be registered either as a blue-plate vehicle (under 2 tons) or a yellow-plate vehicle (over 2 tons). If you choose the blue-plate option, a C1 driver's license is sufficient. However, if you opt for the yellow-plate, a B-class license is required for driving. C1: The C1 driver's license is one of the classifications for motor vehicle driving permits. It authorizes the holder to drive small and mini passenger vehicles, light and mini cargo trucks, as well as light, small, and mini special-purpose vehicles, including all models under C2, C3, and C4 categories. B-class License: B-class licenses are divided into B1 and B2. B1: Medium-sized buses, along with C1 and M (wheeled self-propelled machinery vehicles); B2: Large trucks, along with C1 and M.

What is the general size of a 600-liter fuel tank?

A 600-liter fuel tank generally measures 1300×700×700mm. Marked capacity refers to safe capacity: Most fuel tanks indicate a safe capacity, which is typically about 10% less than the actual capacity. During the design of fuel tanks, consideration is given to the thermal expansion and contraction characteristics of fuel. To ensure driving safety, when filling up to the rated volume, a certain amount of space must be left inside the tank to prevent excessive internal pressure. Overfilling can damage the carbon canister, while underfilling leaves too much empty space, causing fuel to evaporate and be lost as vapor. Fuel gauge cannot accurately reflect remaining fuel: You cannot rely solely on the fuel gauge on the car dashboard to determine the exact amount of fuel remaining; it provides only a qualitative indication rather than a quantitative measurement. Additionally, you cannot judge fuel consumption based solely on the relationship between the amount of fuel added and the distance traveled, as factors such as road conditions, speed, traffic congestion, air conditioning usage, vehicle load, fuel line leaks, and fuel quality can all directly affect fuel consumption.

What is the use of a voltage reducer cable?

The function of a voltage reducer cable is to lower the voltage, converting the car's 12V voltage to 5V output for use by the dash cam. The dash cam is an indispensable in-car device for automobiles. There are various methods for powering and installing a dash cam, but the most commonly chosen method is to run a concealed wire to the fuse box, which effectively hides the power cable and maintains the car's interior aesthetics. Since the fuse box voltage is 12V, a voltage reducer cable is required. The wiring method for the voltage reducer cable is as follows: 1. First, install the dash cam in a suitable position and secure it firmly; 2. Connect the voltage reducer cable, run the concealed wire along the A-pillar to the door frame seal, and tuck the wire until it reaches near the fuse box; 3. Open the fuse box, locate the ACC socket, connect the red wire of the voltage reducer cable to ACC, and ground the black wire by screwing it onto the fuse box screw.

What gauge are jumper cables generally used for cars?

Small cars use 16 square millimeter copper cables, trucks use 25 square millimeter copper cables, and heavy trucks use 35 square millimeter copper cables. Since starting the engine requires high current and the battery voltage is low (resulting in even higher current), jumper cables should have as little resistance as possible. Below are the steps for using car jumper cables: 1. Clamp the red cable to the red positive terminal of the "dead vehicle's" battery. 2. Clamp the other end of the red cable to the red positive terminal of the "rescue vehicle's" battery. 3. Clamp the black cable to the black negative terminal of the "dead vehicle's" battery. 4. Then clamp the black cable to the black negative terminal of the "rescue vehicle's" battery. (If the negative terminal of the rescue vehicle's battery is connected first, the dead vehicle's negative terminal must not be connected to the battery's negative terminal but should instead be connected to the car body or grounded). 5. Start the engine of the "rescue vehicle" first, then start the engine of the "dead vehicle." If the dead vehicle still fails to start, check if there is poor contact in the metal connections. After successfully starting the engine, remove the jumper cables in the correct order to avoid potential short circuits.
