Changan Oushang and Changan Auto belong to the same company. The difference lies in the fact that Oushang is a Chinese automotive brand under the Changan Auto Group. Oushang Auto was established in April 2018 and is headquartered in Chongqing. Unlike Changan Auto, Oushang focuses on the passenger vehicle sector and is dedicated to providing quality driving and riding experiences for Chinese 'big families'. Relevant introductions are as follows: 1. Changan Auto Brand: Changan Auto is a well-known Chinese automobile manufacturer, owning popular car brands such as the CS series, Ruicheng, Yidong, Yuexiang, and Benben. 2. Introduction to Changan Oushang: Changan Oushang is a new family-oriented seven-seater vehicle launched by Changan Auto. It was developed and designed over three years by Changan's global R&D team from 'five countries and ten locations', showcasing Changan's latest design concepts and automobile manufacturing philosophy. It made its debut at the 2015 Shanghai Auto Show. The arrival of this vehicle will once again demonstrate Changan's R&D capabilities with its stunning design and excellent quality.

I remember when I was considering changing cars, I compared Changan Oushang and Changan Auto. I ultimately chose the Oushang Kosai, mainly because it's more affordable, with a significantly lower price than Changan's main brand. As a major company, Changan Auto has a comprehensive product line, ranging from sedans to SUVs, but the prices are slightly higher, making it feel more suitable for buyers with ample budgets. Oushang, on the other hand, is a sub-brand of Changan, specifically targeting young people with more fashionable designs and bold color schemes—like the eye-catching Oushang X5. The interior features are also modern, such as a large central control screen and a responsive voice assistant. The difference also lies in their positioning: Changan's main brand is more稳重 (steady), catering to both business and family needs, while Oushang focuses on leisure, SUVs, and MPVs, making it particularly suitable for outings or city commuting. During my test drive, I noticed that Oushang's suspension tuning is softer, ideal for long-distance driving, whereas the Changan CS series leans toward a stiffer ride. Overall, if you want affordability and trendiness, go for Oushang; if you're after brand heritage and a versatile lineup, Changan's main brand is more suitable.

What are the functions of the expansion tank?

The main functions of the automotive expansion tank are as follows: 1. The expansion tank serves as an auxiliary to the radiator and is an important component of the cooling system. 2. The radiator generates certain pressure when the temperature fluctuates, and the expansion tank plays a regulatory role. 3. There are corresponding markings on the expansion tank indicating the liquid level, which helps to visually know the current water level in the radiator. Below is an introduction to how the expansion tank works: Thermal expansion: When the car is running, the increase in water temperature causes the air pressure inside the radiator to rise, so some water (more precisely, water vapor) will flow out through the diversion pipe connected to the upper water chamber of the radiator; 1. Cold contraction: When the vehicle stops working, the temperature of the radiator decreases, and the internal air pressure of the radiator decreases, so the water in the expansion tank (or the water storage device connected to the diversion pipe 2) will flow back into the radiator.

Is the left side of an automatic transmission car the brake or the accelerator?

In an automatic transmission car, the left side is the brake. Here is a partial introduction to automatic transmission models: 1. Whether it's a manual or automatic transmission, the only difference under the foot is the presence or absence of a clutch. In an automatic transmission, there is no clutch on the left foot position; the right side is the accelerator, and the left side is the brake. 2. Design purpose: The accelerator is used more frequently and is designed on the outer side of the right foot; the brake is set on the inner side of the right foot, and the brake pedal is slightly higher than the accelerator pedal. This design is intended for the driver's quick reaction. 3. Correct foot operation method: Rotate left and right with the heel of the right foot as the axis, and use the sole of the foot to step on the pedals.

What are the components of a car steering system?

Steering system consists of three major parts: steering control mechanism, steering gear and steering transmission mechanism. The following is a partial introduction about the steering system: 1. Two types of steering systems: mechanical steering system, where the steering energy comes from the driver's physical strength; power steering system, where the steering energy includes both the driver's physical strength and the engine power, generally used in vehicles weighing over 50 tons. 2. Requirements for the steering system: ability to automatically return to the center, light and sensitive operation, consistent change between the steering direction and the vehicle's movement, minimized kickback force transmitted to the steering wheel, no self-oscillation during driving, etc.

What is the mileage for the first maintenance of the Enjoy?

The first maintenance for the Enjoy is generally at 5,000 kilometers or 6 months, whichever comes first. This regulation can be checked in the maintenance manual or confirmed by calling the 4S store. According to the regulations, the documents required for the first car maintenance include: driver's license, vehicle registration certificate, first maintenance voucher, purchase invoice, maintenance manual, owner's ID card, and other relevant documents. The first car maintenance generally includes the following items: Check whether the level of the car's coolant meets the specified requirements. Check the fluid levels of the brake and clutch. Check whether the oil level in the power steering fluid reservoir meets the specified requirements. Check for any oil leakage at the interfaces of the system's oil pipes. Check the battery fluid level and the level of the windshield washer fluid. Check the tension and aging condition of the belts for the generator, air conditioner, water pump, and power steering pump. Check whether all front and rear lights of the car are functioning (including headlights, width lights, turn signals, brake lights, reverse lights, and fog lights). Check the tire pressure and wear condition of the car's tires, tighten the tire bolts to the specified torque, replenish the tire pressure to the specified value for the model, and rotate the tires based on wear conditions. Check whether the car's exhaust emissions meet the standards. Generally, no appointment is needed for the first maintenance at a 4S store; you can drive there directly. However, some 4S stores may have many vehicles for maintenance, which could result in a long wait. To avoid this, it is best to call ahead and make an appointment. Generally, the first maintenance should not be postponed. However, in certain special circumstances, you can communicate with the 4S store in advance. If they agree, postponement is possible. It is important to note that if the car develops a fault after postponement, the 4S store may refuse to cover it due to the delay, which carries some risk.

What is the difference between TX and TXL?

TX is the China-spec model, primarily available in the Middle East version, specifically the Kuwait version; TXL is the low-spec Middle East version, with configurations equivalent to the mid-to-high-spec China-spec models. Below are the specific differences between the two: 1. Configuration: The TX version can be simply understood as the low-spec model; the TXL can be considered the standard-spec model. 2. Comfort: TXL places more emphasis on comfort, so its safety features, handling configurations, and seat comfort are significantly better than those of the TX. 3. Spare tire type: The TX version offers both under-mounted and rear-mounted spare tire options; the TXL mostly comes with a rear-mounted spare tire and includes a sunroof.

What Causes the Steering Noise in Changan Eado at Low Speeds?

Changan Eado produces steering noise at low speeds for the following reasons: 1. Sound from the turn signal reset. If the turn signal is activated during steering, the noise may come from the rebound clip of the automatic reset mechanism of the turn signal, which is normal. 2. Noise from the steering column dust cover. If the noise comes from below the steering wheel, it may be from the steering column dust cover. Due to lack of lubrication in the dust cover, friction sound occurs during steering. Applying some grease inside the dust cover can eliminate the noise. 3. Noise from inside the steering wheel. If the noise comes from inside the steering wheel, it may be from the airbag clock spring. Remove the steering wheel airbag clock spring and apply some grease to see if the noise persists. If it does, the airbag clock spring may be damaged and needs replacement. 4. Noise from the shock absorber top bearing. If the noise comes from outside the car, it may be due to lack of lubrication in the shock absorber top bearing. Open the hood to check if the noise comes from the shock absorber top mount. If confirmed, applying grease to the top bearing can eliminate the noise. If the noise persists after greasing, the top bearing needs replacement at a repair shop.
