Which models use the Changan Blue Core engine?

[Ulysses]

Blue Core engine is used in Changan CS75 PLUS, Changan CS35 PLUS Blue Core Edition, and EADO Blue Core Edition. The introduction and working principle of the engine are as follows: Introduction: An engine is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy. It can be used as a power generation device or refer to the entire machine including the power device. Working principle: It includes 4 strokes: intake stroke, compression stroke, power stroke, and exhaust stroke. A four-stroke gasoline engine completes a working cycle through four processes: intake, compression, power, and exhaust. During this process, the piston moves up and down four times, and the corresponding crankshaft rotates two weeks. The working process is intake-compression-fuel injection-combustion-expansion and power-exhaust.

Last time I accompanied a friend to a Changan 4S store to look at cars, the sales manager patted the engine hood while chatting with me, saying that over ten models under Changan are now equipped with the Blue Core powertrain. He particularly highlighted the CS75 PLUS and UNI series, noting that the 2.0T Blue Core engine in the third-generation 75PLUS in the showroom delivers a noticeably strong acceleration kick. For sedans, the 1.4T version of the Eado PLUS consumes just over 6 liters per 100 km for daily commutes, while the 1.5T Blue Core engine paired with the spacious rear seats of the Raeton CC makes it especially suitable for family use. In the new energy vehicle segment, the extended-range versions of the Shenlan SL03 and S7 also rely on the Blue Core engine for power generation, offering a pure electric range of up to 200 km. A friend who was planning to change cars test-drove the UNI-V on the spot and immediately placed an order for the 2.0T Sport version, remarking that the turbo kicks in much earlier than expected.

My younger brother bought an Oshan Z6 last year, and its 1.5T Blue Whale engine makes overtaking in the city a breeze. Later, I found out that Changan has adopted Blue Whale technology across its entire lineup, from the UNI-K to the second-generation CS55PLUS. After the facelift, the Eado sedan series was all equipped with the NE1.4T Blue Whale engine, and even the base model comes with a wet dual-clutch transmission. Recently, while researching hybrid vehicles, I learned that the Deepal series uses Blue Whale engines as range extenders. A ride-hailing driver I know mentioned that the Ruicheng PLUS is particularly fuel-efficient, with its 1.5T engine consuming only 5.7 liters per 100 kilometers on the highway. Browsing forums, I discovered that the Blue Whale 2.0T engine can deliver 233 horsepower on 95-octane gasoline, and UNI-T Sport Edition owners often share their 0-100 km/h acceleration times.

Last year at the Changan Technology Appreciation Event, engineers mentioned that the Blue Whale NE platform covers displacements from 1.2 to 2.0 liters. Currently, the flagship model CS75PLUS third generation offers two powertrain options: the 1.5T version with 188 horsepower is sufficient for daily use, while the 2.0T version delivers 233 horsepower paired with an Aisin 8-speed automatic transmission. All three models in the UNI series are equipped with Blue Whale powertrains, with the UNI-K particularly excelling at hill climbing even when fully loaded. The Eado series has been using the JL473ZQ7 engine for several years, with long-term owners reporting reliable performance. In the new energy vehicle sector, the Deepal S7 extended-range version achieves a fuel consumption of just 4.3 liters per 100 kilometers. The upcoming Qiyuan A07 will also feature the Blue Whale hybrid system.

In repair shops, Changan vehicles equipped with Blue Whale engines are commonly seen. CS55PLUS owners mention that the 1.5T engine delivers 300 Nm of torque at low RPMs. UNI-V owners can distinctly hear the backfire sound of the Blue Whale 2.0T after modifying the exhaust. The maintenance cost for the NE1.4T engine in the Eado PLUS is similar to that of a regular 1.6L naturally aspirated engine. A long-time CS95 owner reports that the Blue Whale 2.0T has covered 130,000 kilometers in three years without major repairs. New energy vehicle owners particularly favor the Blue Whale hybrid versions, with the Deepal SL03 range-extender model consuming less than 5 liters of fuel per 100 km in battery-depleted mode.

Last year, I had an in-depth test drive of the UNI-T, and the 1.5T Blue Whale powertrain delivered instant response. Checking the configuration sheet revealed that Changan's main vehicle lineup all uses this powertrain: the CS series like the 35PLUS and 75PLUS, and sedans like the Eado and Ruicheng. In the new energy sector, the entire Shenlan lineup employs the Blue Whale range extender. The specs are impressive, with the 1.5T version boasting a net power of 138kW and a thermal efficiency of 40%. The transmission setup is quite generous, with the CS75 PLUS paired with an Aisin 8AT and the UNI-V with a wet 7DCT. In real-world driving, the Blue Whale engine reaches maximum torque at just 1400 rpm, making it always half a car length ahead when starting from a traffic light.
