Which Changan CS75 model is equipped with the Blue Whale engine?

Changan CS75's 1.5T model is equipped with the Blue Whale engine. An engine is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy, suitable for both power generation devices and the entire machine including the power device. Its types include internal combustion engines, external combustion engines, gas turbines, and electric motors. The Blue Whale engine is independently developed by Changan. It is a high-compression ratio direct injection engine that adopts new turbocharging technology. It integrates technologies such as TC exhaust turbocharging and RFF+HLA valve drive structure, and also incorporates direct injection technology. The Blue Whale engine delivers a maximum of 233 horsepower (171KW). The Blue Whale engine is not a single type of engine but a series of engines. Currently, Changan has only two Blue Whale engines: a 1.5T engine and a 1.4T engine, both of which are four-cylinder. However, Changan may introduce three-cylinder Blue Whale engines in the future. The power of the Blue Whale engine is one of its advantages. The Blue Whale NE power platform is China's first modular engine R&D platform. In addition to the 1.4T and 1.5T engines, it also includes engines with displacements ranging from 1.0 to 1.8L, as well as various power types such as 48V, HEV, and PHEV, offering strong expandability and high versatility.
I've also been paying attention to the Changan CS75 recently and have done quite a bit of homework for car selection. The Blue Whale engine stands out particularly in the CS75 PLUS series, as both the 1.5T and 2.0T models have been equipped with it since the 2020 version, especially the second-generation CS75 PLUS which comes standard with it across the entire lineup. I previously test drove the 2022 1.5T version, and the power response was exceptionally quick, with fuel consumption well controlled, making overtaking on highways very easy. The older CS75 models didn't come with the Blue Whale engine, but you can still find some 2021 Glory Million Edition models on the market, which also use the Blue Whale 1.5T engine. If you're considering buying a new car, I'd recommend directly looking at the new CS75 PLUS, as its three major components are more reliable, and the space design is more reasonable.
