Which engine does the Changan Ruicheng CC use?

[VonJeremiah]

Changan Ruicheng CC engine is independently developed and produced by Changan, belonging to a domestically manufactured engine. The engine model of Changan Ruicheng CC is JL473ZQ5, with a maximum power of 13kW, maximum horsepower of 180Ps, and maximum torque of 300 Nm. For daily maintenance of the Changan Ruicheng CC engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, select CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements; Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid failures, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level; When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may burst the filter element or open the safety valve, bypassing through the relief valve and bringing contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination; Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear; Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

During my last test drive of the Changan Ruicheng CC, I noticed it was equipped with the Blue Whale 1.5T turbocharged engine. This engine is independently developed by Changan, delivering 178 horsepower and a maximum torque of 300N·m, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It offers quick acceleration response in urban driving, with a fuel consumption around 6.5L/100km. The Blue Whale series features advanced technology, including direct injection and efficient combustion design, meeting the China VI emission standards. The driving experience is smooth and quiet, with reduced engine vibration issues. Compared to competitors in the same segment, such as the Geely Emgrand's 1.5T, the Ruicheng CC's power output is more balanced, and maintenance is convenient with parts readily available at 4S stores. If you prioritize power and reliability, this engine is a solid choice, and it won't feel strained even on long trips.

As experienced auto technicians, we often see the Ruicheng CC equipped with the BlueCore NE15T engine, a 1.5L turbocharged unit producing 132kW, paired with either a 6AT or DCT transmission. It boasts strong durability, simple routine maintenance, extended oil and filter change intervals, and low failure rates, with few complaints about oil consumption from owners. Changan's powertrain features modular design, making parts replacement affordable and repair costs reasonable—for example, the spark plugs have a long service life. In terms of driving experience, it offers smooth acceleration and good fuel efficiency in traffic, making it ideal for urban commuting. Compared to Honda Civic's L15B engine, this one delivers similar performance but at a more budget-friendly price. User feedback is largely positive, highlighting quick starts, quiet operation, and suitability for family use.
