What is the difference between Oshan and Changan?
2 Answers
Changan Automobile mainly targets the household passenger vehicle market, focusing on models such as sedans and SUVs; Oshan specializes in the passenger vehicle sector and is dedicated to providing driving and riding quality vehicles for China's 'big families.' Changan Oshan is a new passenger vehicle brand under the Changan Group, forming the 'one body, two wings' of Changan's independent passenger vehicle brand development together with Changan Automobile. Additional information: The Changan brand and the Oshan brand are two separate brands, but the Changan brand is the key brand of the Changan Group, while the Oshan brand is positioned as a more budget-friendly brand. The first model under the Changan Oshan brand is also a full-range vehicle, but overall, the materials and workmanship are slightly lower than those of the Changan brand. This can be seen as a strategic move by Changan, positioning it as a more budget-friendly model to increase market share. A high market share is very beneficial for the influence of an automotive brand.
I've always thought buying a car is as practical as choosing home appliances. Although Oshan and Changan belong to the same company, they drive quite differently. Oshan's vehicles are more family-oriented, like the Cosima MPV, which has spacious interiors capable of holding luggage for the whole family, and the prices are more affordable, making them suitable for small families on a budget. Changan, on the other hand, covers a much broader range, from compact sedans to SUVs and even new energy vehicles. Models like the CS75 feature more modern designs and offer steadier driving performance, but they come at a higher price, given the brand's long-standing reputation and stronger after-sales service. I remember during my last test drive, Oshan felt comfortable but had lighter steering, while Changan offered a heavier, more controlled feel, making it better for long-distance driving. If you frequently transport people or cargo, Oshan is quite cost-effective; but if you prioritize brand prestige and variety, Changan is the better choice. Overall, they cater to different market segments, but both can meet everyday needs.
