Changan Automobile's engines are self-branded engines, all produced in China. Below are specific details about Changan Automobile engines: 1. The Epower engine is a new engine independently developed by Changan: The production base for this engine is the E-series engine production facility located within Changan's Qianyi Automobile City in Chongqing's Liangjiang New Area. The Epower series engines are known for their strong power, low fuel consumption, economic efficiency, low noise, and advanced technology. 2. In its early stages, Changan Automobile primarily used H-series engines: The H-series engines are inline 4-cylinder, 16-valve, all-aluminum engines, representing the latest achievements of Changan's independent research and development by integrating international advanced technologies. These engines possess complete independent intellectual property rights and embody Changan's outstanding performance in energy efficiency, power, environmental protection, safety, and comfort. The H-series engines were planned to be installed in Changan's self-branded sedan main models, with production starting in 2010 to meet the competition in the automotive market from 2010 to 2025. The H-series engines feature high power, high torque, low emissions, and low fuel consumption.
As an experienced driver who has driven many Changan models, I have some understanding of their engine production. Changan's engines are primarily manufactured in Chongqing, as it is their headquarters base, with large factories located in areas like Jiangbei District and Nan'an District. I remember visiting these facilities, where the production equipment is quite advanced, utilizing automated assembly lines to produce the Blue Whale series engines, which are used in popular models like the CS75 and UNI series. The advantage of in-house engine production is the ability to ensure stable quality, reduce external supply chain issues, and lower costs. From my regular maintenance experience, I've noticed that the failure rate is quite low. Changan has also collaborated with overseas technology partners, but now the localization level is very high, ensuring the durability and efficiency of the engines. As a car owner, I feel that Chongqing production makes the engines better matched with the vehicle's overall performance, with good fuel consumption control in daily driving and convenient maintenance.
