The application of Changan's Blue Whale engine is quite extensive. As someone who pays close attention to domestic vehicles, I've noticed it's primarily used in Changan's own popular models. For example, in the SUV series, models like the CS75 PLUS are equipped with the Blue Whale 1.5T engine, which delivers smooth and responsive performance. The CS55 PLUS also utilizes this engine, striking a balance between fuel efficiency and performance. The UNI series, including the UNI-T and UNI-K, features a sportier design, and the Blue Whale engine enhances their acceleration. In the sedan category, the Eado PLUS and Ruicheng PLUS are common choices, making them practical for daily commutes. Some Oshan brand vehicles, such as the X5 and X7, also adopt the Blue Whale powertrain, offering high cost-effectiveness in the 100,000-yuan price range. Changan has further expanded the application of these engines to hybrid versions, such as the new energy variants of the CS series. In summary, the Blue Whale engine represents Changan's core technology, covering most of its best-selling models and enhancing the competitiveness of domestic vehicles.
