I’ve noticed that Changan’s recent mainstay models have largely adopted the Blue Core engine. For instance, the SUV lineup, including the CS55 PLUS and CS75 PLUS, comes standard with Blue Core power across the board. I test-drove the 1.5T version of the second-gen CS75 PLUS recently, and its low-end torque performance was truly impressive. On the sedan front, the Eado PLUS is entirely equipped with Blue Core engines, and I even spotted the new UNI-V on the road the other day—the salesperson mentioned it also starts with a 1.5T Blue Core. The Oushang series is even more impressive: not only do the X5 and X7 fuel-powered models use Blue Core, but even the Z6 iDD hybrid version comes with the Blue Core IDD hybrid system. Just saw news that the next-gen UNI-K and UNI-T will continue to feature Blue Core engines. Essentially, if you’re buying a popular Changan model now, there’s a high chance you’ll get to experience this self-developed powertrain.

My newly purchased Oshan Z6 is the Blue Whale 1.5T hybrid version. When buying the car, I noticed that so many Changan models now feature the Blue Whale engine. For SUVs, the entire CS series is covered, from the CS35 PLUS to the CS85 COUPE, each with corresponding versions. Among sedans, the Eado series was the first to adopt the Blue Whale engine, and now the new Ruicheng CC Blue Whale edition is also available. What surprised me the most is the UNI lineup—from the UNI-T to the UNI-K and the newly launched UNI-V, all are equipped with Blue Whale engines. In the Oshan range, besides my Z6, the X5 Sport and X7 PLUS also offer Blue Whale options. I recommend focusing on the new models with the Blue Whale badge during test drives at the dealership—the power response is indeed much stronger than older models.

Last week while accompanying a friend car shopping, I noticed about 80% of the vehicles in Changan's showroom bore the Blue Whale badge. The most prominent were the UNI trio - UNI-T, UNI-K, and UNI-V, all starting with the Blue Whale 1.5T engine as standard. The CS series goes even further, with even the 2.0T version of the 75 PLUS included in the Blue Whale lineup. In the sedan category, the Eado PLUS comes standard across all trims, and the Ruicheng CC added a Blue Whale edition in last year's facelift. The Oshan brand has progressed fastest, with all three main models - X5, X7, and Z6 - equipped; the Z6 hybrid even uses an upgraded Blue Whale IDD system. One caveat: the older CS35 still uses Dongan Power engines, so be sure to check for the Blue Whale badge on the rear.

What does car launch control mean?

Launch control refers to the phenomenon where the front wheels of a car lift off the ground, overcoming Earth's gravity, at the moment of takeoff and maintain this position for a period of time. Precautions for launch control: 1. As a racing technique, it is recommended to attempt launch control only on closed roads or racetracks. Using launch control on public roads with traffic is dangerous (because the vehicle's kinetic energy is extremely high at the initial stage of launch, making it impossible to brake within a short distance in case of sudden situations). 2. Before performing launch control, ensure that the engine's coolant temperature, oil temperature, and transmission oil temperature have reached normal levels. In winter, it is especially necessary to warm up the car before attempting launch control. 3. Launch control places an extremely high load on the transmission of both manual and automatic cars for a short period. There should be at least a 15-minute cooling period for the transmission between two launch control attempts; otherwise, it will significantly affect the transmission's lifespan.

Do You Need to Press the Brake for an Electronic Handbrake?

You need to press the brake. Here are the relevant details: 1. Electronic Handbrake: The electronic handbrake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both of which rely on the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads to control parking braking. The only difference is that the control method has changed from the traditional mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. 2. Working Principle: The electronic parking system operates on the same principle as the manual mechanical parking brake system, achieving parking through the friction clamping between the brake shoes and the brake drum or between the friction pads and the brake disc. However, the control method has been replaced by electronic buttons and motor actions instead of manual operation and mechanical linkage. Therefore, the full name of this system is the Electronically Controlled Mechanical Parking Brake System.

Are Electric Vehicles Powered by Lithium Batteries?

Electric vehicle batteries are divided into two main categories: storage batteries and fuel cells. Storage batteries are suitable for pure electric vehicles, including lead-acid batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, sodium-sulfur batteries, secondary lithium batteries, air batteries, and ternary lithium batteries. The signs of a failing car battery are as follows: 1. Difficulty starting the car: If the car suddenly becomes difficult to start without other factors, it may be a sign that the battery is about to fail. 2. Dimming lights during idle: For example, when waiting at a red light or temporarily parked, the headlights suddenly dim. This is because the engine's charging power decreases during idle. 3. Battery fault light illuminates: When the battery fault light comes on, it reminds the owner to go to a repair shop for battery maintenance and testing. 4. Normal driving usually, but occasionally after parking and restarting, the whole car has no power: This is because when the battery life is nearing its end, the starting current is insufficient, causing an increase in battery terminal oxides, resulting in a no-power issue for the whole car.

Will a damp battery affect charging?

It can be charged as long as it hasn't been exposed to rain. Below is the relevant information: 1. Battery: A battery is a type of storage battery, also known as an accumulator. Its working principle involves converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, what people refer to as a battery is a lead-acid battery, which mainly uses lead and its oxides as electrodes and a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. 2. Working principle: A lead plate filled with sponge-like lead serves as the negative electrode, a lead plate filled with lead dioxide serves as the positive electrode, and a 22-28% dilute sulfuric acid solution is used as the electrolyte. During charging, electrical energy is converted into chemical energy, and during discharging, chemical energy is converted back into electrical energy. When the battery discharges, metallic lead acts as the negative electrode, undergoing an oxidation reaction and being oxidized to lead sulfate; lead dioxide acts as the positive electrode, undergoing a reduction reaction and being reduced to lead sulfate.

What Causes Motorcycle Front Brake Failure?

Motorcycle front disc brake failure should first be addressed by bleeding the air, then inspecting whether the brake pads and brake discs are intact. If they are severely worn, replace them with new disc brakes. If the issue is not due to disc brake wear, it could be a blockage in the brake pump or brake oil line. Motorcycles do not necessarily require shop visits for maintenance and repairs. Motorcycle maintenance methods: 1. Oil change: For newly purchased motorcycles, the break-in period is 2000 kilometers. Change the oil once at 500 kilometers, then again at 2000 kilometers. After the break-in period, change the oil every 2000 kilometers during normal operation. 2. Replace the air filter element: Clean the air filter element once a year. 3. Daily maintenance: Keep the vehicle clean. Maintain normal tire pressure. Ensure the battery is fully charged.

Can Cars Experience Altitude Sickness?

Cars can experience altitude sickness. Many areas at high altitudes require climbing slopes, which demands sufficient power. If a car suffers from altitude sickness, there is a chance it may experience fuel cutoff and stall. Here are some details about car altitude sickness: 1. Insufficient Power: Due to the thin oxygen at high altitudes, the amount of oxygen entering the engine cylinders decreases, leading to reduced combustion efficiency. As a result, the energy provided by the engine diminishes, manifesting as insufficient power supply, sluggish acceleration, and difficulty in overtaking. These characteristics are most evident in naturally aspirated and turbocharged models. 2. Overheated Brake Fluid and Stalling: The low boiling point at high altitudes and numerous mountain roads cause frequent braking, which raises the temperature of the brake fluid. Overfilling the fuel tank leaves insufficient air inside, creating an instant vacuum that cuts off the fuel pump, leading to dangerous stalling. Frequent gear shifts can also cause the water temperature to rise, resulting in power loss and other issues.
