Changan Oushan's three-horizontal logo was newly introduced in April 2018 as a fresh emblem for the brand. The middle bar of the three-stripe logo features a blue color. Introduction to Changan Oushan: Headquartered in Chongqing, Changan Oushan is a new passenger vehicle brand under the Changan Automobile Group. Leveraging the group's global R&D, supplier network, and manufacturing system, it is dedicated to providing quality driving and riding experiences for Chinese 'big families'. Changan Oushan's vehicle lineup: Changan Oushan offers a variety of SUV models, including the Changan Oushan X5, Changan Oushan CX70, Changan Oushan X7, Changan Oushan X70A, and Changan Oushan Kosai Pro. Among them, the Oushan X7, as Changan Oushan's first compact SUV, measures 4705×1860×1720mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2780mm.
The most iconic three-horizontal-bar emblem of Changan Oushang was predominantly seen in 2019 and earlier models. I remember this design was introduced when the brand first launched in 2018—early models like the Oushang X7 and Kosai all carried this logo, with the three bars symbolizing road connections and family ties. By 2020, the brand underwent an upgrade and adopted a new, more modern logo. So if you spot a car with the three-bar emblem on the road, it’s most likely from 2019 or earlier. As someone who loves studying cars, I find this evolution quite meaningful. Knowing it can even help you estimate the vehicle’s age when repairing, avoiding wrong part purchases. While maintenance for older models is simpler, things like oil changes still need attention.
My Changan Oushan has the three-bar logo, and friends all say it's the 2019 model. I asked the repair shop technician, who said the three-bar design was used from 2018 to 2019, and the brand changed to a new logo after 2020 to pursue novelty. This logo is quite durable and hasn't faded much even after long use, unlike the newer logo cars which look stylish but are prone to wear. As an ordinary car user, knowing the model year is very useful for maintenance, such as when replacing tires or checking the electrical system to find the right parts, and also to be cautious about logo features when buying a used car to avoid being deceived. The car hasn't had any major issues, but I regularly check the fluids to ensure it's safe for long trips.
