3 Answers
Changan Oshan X7 has a total weight of 1900-2075 kg. Below are the specific details of the Changan Oshan X7: 1. Structure: As Changan Oshan's first compact SUV, the Oshan X7 measures 4705×1860×1720mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2780mm. It features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. 2. Powertrain: The Changan Oshan X7 is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine across all variants. This engine delivers a maximum power of 131kW at 5500r/min and a maximum torque of 265N·m within the range of 1450~4500r/min. The engine incorporates DVVT technology and direct fuel injection, along with an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block to reduce weight, thereby enhancing vehicle handling and fuel efficiency.
A friend of mine drives an Oshan X7, and the overall weight of the car is around 1,590 kilograms, depending on the configuration. That's the weight when it's empty, but it can increase by 100 to 150 kilograms when fully loaded with passengers and luggage. For everyday driving, this weight feels quite substantial—it feels more stable on the highway and doesn’t feel floaty. However, in city driving with frequent stops and starts, the fuel consumption tends to be a bit higher, usually burning 1-2 liters more per 100 kilometers compared to smaller cars. I’d recommend regular checks on the tires and suspension for this type of vehicle, as the heavier weight leads to faster wear and tear. Don’t delay maintenance to avoid bigger issues down the line. For upkeep, it’s good to have a check-up every six months to minimize unexpected expenses and save on repair costs in the long run.
Driving the Oshan X7 feels quite special. The vehicle's weight typically ranges between 1580 to 1640 kilograms, with slight variations across different models. It feels solid on the road, with minimal body roll during turns, providing a strong sense of security. However, the throttle response is slightly sluggish, and the power isn't particularly aggressive during rapid acceleration. I usually drive in the city, where fuel consumption noticeably increases in traffic jams, and trying different driving modes doesn't help much. On the highway, the heavier vehicle runs more smoothly, and the tire grip improves slightly. I recommend new owners opt for the lower trim level, which might be slightly lighter, making it more convenient for daily commuting.
