Which cars use the Blue Whale engine?

[AlexisAnn]

Cars equipped with the Blue Whale engine include: the Changan CS75 PLUS, Changan CS35 PLUS Blue Whale Edition, and Eado Blue Whale Edition. These three models are all powered by the ultra-powerful Blue Whale high-pressure direct injection engine developed under Changan's Blue Whale NE platform, which integrates 14 advanced technologies. This powertrain achieves a perfect balance between enhanced performance and NVH noise reduction technology, meeting the National VI emission standards. The Changan CS75 PLUS is a vehicle launched by Changan Automobile, featuring superior airbag technology for comprehensive safety protection. It comes with oversized side air curtains, 100% window coverage, and anti-rollover design, capable of rapid deployment within 0.03 seconds and millisecond-level response for timely protection.

When it comes to the Blue Core engine, Changan's own vehicles use it most extensively. Sporty models like the UNI-T, UNI-V, and UNI-K from the UNI series are all equipped with Blue Core engines of different displacements, delivering quite fierce power output. The classic CS family hasn't been left behind either—popular SUVs like the CS55 PLUS and CS75 PLUS also use the same powertrain, with stability proven by the market. On the sedan side, the Eado PLUS, as a national family sedan, comes with the Blue Core 1.4T in its high-end version, making it quite suitable for family use. The Oshan brand, such as the Oshan X5 and X7 PLUS, follows a cost-effective approach and also uses the same Blue Core engine, sharing technology but with tuning more biased toward fuel economy. Nowadays, almost all of Changan's new fuel-powered cars carry the Blue Core label—when choosing a car, just look for the 'Blue Core Edition' or 'NE' badge on the rear, and you can't go wrong.

From a veteran driver's perspective: The Blue Whale engine is Chang'an's signature, and most Blue Whale-equipped vehicles on the road are their own models. For sporty options like the UNI-T coupe SUV, the 1.5T Blue Whale engine delivers satisfying acceleration. For family needs, consider the CS75 PLUS—the 2.0T version handles hills and overtaking with ease. I've driven the Blue Whale version of the Eado PLUS sedan, and its fuel consumption is well-managed, costing around 50-60 cents per kilometer for city commuting. An often-overlooked option is Chang'an Oshan, where youthful models like the X5 and Z6 pair the Blue Whale 1.5T with a dual-clutch transmission, tuned for a lighter feel. The newly launched Qiyuan A07 extended-range version, though primarily electric-driven, still uses a modified version of the Blue Whale 1.5L naturally aspirated engine as its range extender, boasting high thermal efficiency. When choosing a car, look for the Blue Whale logo on the engine cover of the 4S showroom models for assurance.

Currently, Changan's fuel-powered vehicles have largely adopted the Blue Whale engine technology. The core lineup includes the following: the sporty UNI series, entirely equipped with Blue Whale engines, with the UNI-V sedan capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7 seconds; the popular models CS55/75 PLUS primarily feature Blue Whale versions, with the 75 PLUS selling over 20,000 units in a single month last year; the classic family sedan Eado PLUS Blue Whale edition comes with a 1.4T high-pressure direct injection engine; the youthful brand Oshan's X5/Z6 models utilize the golden combination of 1.5T + 7DCT; even the utility vehicle Ruixing M60 microvan has been upgraded with a 1.5L Blue Whale powertrain. Additionally, the Blue Whale engines are divided into the standard version and the new NE platform version, with the UNI-K and Z6 iDD models featuring the NE1.5T engine achieving a thermal efficiency of up to 40%, showcasing impressive technical specifications. Recently, during a visit to the dealership, the salesperson mentioned that nearly 90% of their fuel vehicle lineup now comes with Blue Whale engines.

Here are some straightforward examples for you: the entire Changan UNI series (T/V/K), main CS series models (55 PLUS/75 PLUS), the Eado PLUS Blue Whale Edition, Oshan X5/X7 PLUS/Z6, and the Kaicheng F70 pickup. I've test-driven the Oshan Z6 with the 1.5T Blue Whale NE engine—138kW paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, and its initial acceleration is much more aggressive than a Japanese 2.0L naturally aspirated engine. For the CS75 PLUS, I recommend opting for the 2.0T version; its 233 horsepower is just right for a larger vehicle. If you're looking for an entry-level option, consider the Oshan X5, which offers Blue Whale power for just over 100,000 yuan. Even commercial vehicles like the Ruixing M80 light van are equipped with the 1.5L Blue Whale engine, delivering strong low-end torque for hauling. Be cautious with some older Eado models, as they come with standard engines—only the 'Blue Whale Edition' badge is reliable.

It depends on what type of car you're looking for. If you're after sportiness, go for the UNI series, which comes with the Blue Whale engine across the lineup and a launch control mode. For family SUVs, the CS75 PLUS is highly recommended, with its 2.0T version paired with the Aisin 8AT transmission, making it a golden combination. If your budget is under 100,000, consider the Oushang X5, whose 1.5T Blue Whale engine is more generous than its joint-venture counterparts. For sedans, focus on the Yidong PLUS Blue Whale edition, with a tested fuel consumption of around 7L. Recently, hybrid models like the Qiyuan A05/A07, though primarily electric-driven, still feature the Blue Whale 1.5L range extender in the engine bay. Don't overlook the Ruixing M60/M80 if you need a workhorse—its 1.5L Blue Whale engine can haul two tons without breaking a sweat. Currently, under the Changan umbrella, from microvans to mid-to-large SUVs, the Blue Whale powertrain is almost universally adopted.
