Where is the engine of Changan Kosai produced?
2 Answers
Kosai uses a domestically produced engine. Below is some extended information about the Changan Kosai engine: 1. Kosai is equipped with the Blue Core 1.5TGDI all-aluminum engine, which already meets the China VI emission standards. This engine adopts a 350bar high-pressure direct injection system, delivering a maximum power of 131 kW and a maximum torque of 265 Nm. 2. Through the efficient integration of high-efficiency combustion technology, low-friction technology, and thermal management technology, this engine achieves relatively low fuel consumption. When paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, the vehicle's fuel consumption is as low as 7.4L per 100 km. 3. The Oshan Kosai is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, which delivers a maximum output power of 115 kW (156 Ps) and a peak torque of 210 Nm. The China VI-compliant models are expected to debut between March and April next year. The engine compartment is fitted with a large plastic guard plate, which provides certain protection for the engine. Additionally, it theoretically helps streamline the airflow passing under the chassis.
I've driven my Kosai nearly 10,000 kilometers since buying it last year, and its engine has been remarkably worry-free. Before purchasing, friends told me Changan's technology had matured considerably. I did my own research - the Kosai uses Changan's in-house 1.5T Blue Whale engine, entirely developed and manufactured at their Chongqing facility. During maintenance, the technician mentioned this engine batch was completely independently designed by Changan, with piston rods incorporating German engineering. After several long trips, I've found its fuel efficiency exceeds expectations, and engine operation remains stable. Domestic engines reaching this level truly surpassed my expectations. The convenience of local parts supply is another advantage, with lower maintenance costs thanks to domestic production.
