Why Was the Changan Ouliv Discontinued?
1 Answers
Changan Ouliv was discontinued due to safety hazards and low sales caused by its relatively high price. Below are the detailed reasons for the discontinuation of the Changan Ouliv: Safety Hazards: Some Changan Ouliv vehicles experienced abnormal wear on the torque sensor of the steering shaft assembly after prolonged use, causing the controller to enter a fault protection mode. In extreme cases, this could lead to reduced power steering assistance and heavier steering, posing safety risks. Starting from March 1, 2017, Changan recalled 108,642 Ouliv vehicles manufactured between November 7, 2012, and November 13, 2015 (inclusive). Low Sales: Low sales resulted in low ownership rates, driving up the cost of parts and repairs, with many components becoming difficult to obtain. Additionally, the vehicle's front-end design somewhat resembled that of a small SUV, leading to larger blind spots around the A-pillar and relatively high fuel consumption.
