What is the engine model of the Changan CS75?

[MacOmar]

Changan CS75's engine model is L486Q5. Here are some details about the Changan CS75 engine: Engine development: Independently developed by Changan and produced at Changan Engine Factory's Jiangling plant. The turbocharged engine uses a BorgWarner turbocharger from the United States, with the turbo activating at 1500rpm and a maximum power of 30KW/5500rpm. Engine technology: The engine adopts advanced technologies such as exhaust gas turbocharging, high tumble combustion technology, parallel cooling technology, and racing-grade ultra-low friction technology. These significantly improve power performance while also enhancing fuel economy.

The Changan CS75 currently uses the Blue Whale series engines, with the third-generation model featuring a 1.5T turbocharged engine model named JL476ZQCF. This engine delivers a maximum of 188 horsepower, providing responsive acceleration for daily driving, and it runs reliably on 92-octane fuel. I particularly appreciate its use of direct fuel injection and DVVT technology, which helps maintain fuel consumption at 8-9 liters per 100 km in traffic jams. However, it's worth noting that the early 2014 models were equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, and the 2018 models had a 1.8T four-wheel-drive version. If you're buying a used one, remember to check the vehicle identification plate.

I've just studied the engine data of the CS75, and the current models all feature Blue Whale powertrains. The main model JL476ZQCF is quite interesting behind the scenes: the letter Q represents an all-aluminum cylinder block, and C refers to 350bar high-pressure injection. Compared to the Haval H6's GW4B15, this Chang'an engine reaches peak torque earlier, delivering 300N·m at just 1500 rpm, making city driving much easier. However, you can feel slight vibrations when the turbo kicks in, so I recommend turning off the AC during a test drive to listen to the idle sound.

Directly telling you the model: The third-generation CS75 uses the JL476ZQCF, while the second-generation used the JL486ZQ2 (1.8T) and JL486ZQ5 (2.0L). The current 1.5T Blue Whale is a product of Changan's NE platform, and its 125kW power output is similar to Honda's L15. One interesting detail is that the engineers positioned the turbocharger at the back of the engine to shorten the exhaust piping, making the turbo respond faster, though it's slightly more troublesome to disassemble during maintenance.
