2021 is coming to an end, this year, for Changan Automobile, can be described as a harvest, before the December sales have been revealed, Changan Automobile's cumulative sales from January to November have reached 2.122 million units, an increase of 17.7% compared with the same period last year. Among them, the "Blue Whale Family" model of Changan's independent system sold more than 900,000 vehicles in the first 11 months, and the Blue Whale series engine has become the "technology engine" that "drives" the continuous growth of Changan's independent sales. The sales of models equipped with Blue Whale series engines such as the second-generation CS55 PLUS, Yidong PLUS, and UNI-T are excellent!
From the perspective of data and other levels, the Changan Blue Whale series engine is comparable to or even surpass the same displacement engines such as Volkswagen and Toyota, which everyone checks on the Internet, and the results are clear at a glance! However, whether the specific performance of such a domestic engine with excellent data after being installed in a new car is still as good as the data still needs more verification, and Changan Automobile also needs to use more professional and extreme challenges to prove the strength of the Blue Whale engine!
It comes from strong self-confidence
Blue Whale engines face two hardcore challenges
Proving yourself is never a simple thing, and it is even more difficult to win the trust of the majority of netizens, but it is good that Changan Automobile is very confident in its own products and technologies! In two or three days before the New Year's Eve, Changan Automobile conducted a public "inspection" for its own technology and products!
On December 28, Changan Automobile launched the "Attack on the Blue Whale!" YYDS！ "The hardcore challenge live broadcast event, through two major challenges, showed the hard core strength of the Changan Blue Whale series engine and the overall performance of the second-generation CS55 PLUS equipped with the 1.5T Blue Whale engine to the audience and fans, so as to justify the name of the Blue Whale 1.5T engine and give voice to the domestic engine."
A total of two challenge items were set up in this live broadcast, one is to challenge the impulse effect and test the instantaneous burst ability of the Blue Whale engine; the other is to show the audience the torque performance of the Blue Whale 1.5T engine and the power of the transmission through the drag challenge.
In the first project, the experimenter drove the changan second-generation CS55 PLUS challenge impulse experiment, with the maximum horsepower of the Blue Whale 1.5T engine 180Ps and the Blue Whale gearbox with tacit understanding with the engine, so that when the vehicle was at the end of the throttle, the engine instantly exploded 300N .m torque, and the gearbox provided no delay power output, so that the subject was "lightning fast and unconcealed"!
In the second project, the second-generation CS55PLUS successfully pulled three trailer trucks with a full load of 24 cars and a total weight of more than 90 tons, showing the online audience the powerful torque output of the 1.5T engine and the strong torque tolerance of the "golden partner" Blue Whale gearbox! It can be said that in the face of the weight challenge of more than 90 tons, the torque performance of the engine and the pressure bearing capacity of the gearbox are indispensable, and the peak torque of the Blue Whale 1.5T engine 300N .m and the strong performance of the gearbox make a compact SUV show the extraordinary ability of "four or two strokes" when facing three trailers!
Two challenges, blue whale 1.5T engine smoothly "passed", showing the powerful power performance of the Changan blue whale series engine, for the vast majority of consumers and car owners, may not have the opportunity to use their own car to feel such an extreme "squeeze", but then again, under such a high-intensity challenge, the blue whale series engine can face calmly, what is the power demand in our daily driving?
The "Blue Whale" proves its own strength
Xiao Ao frequently wins championships in domestic competitions
In fact, this time the "year-end inspection" type of live broadcast is more like a hammer, and for a long time in the past, the performance of the Blue Whale series engines in domestic professional competitions has essentially achieved self-proof:
Changan Auto Blue Whale Team, which debuted in ctcc in 2021, won the driver's cup and manufacturers cup double championship in one fell swoop on the F1 track of Shanghai International Circuit, won the first crown of the NGCC Cup 1.5T era, and created the fastest lap time in the whole game with a time of 2 minutes and 28.278 seconds...

Blue Whales driver Wan Jincun successfully won the CTCC 2021 Driver of the Year Championship. Changan Automobile Blue Whale Engine won the 2021 CTCC "Official Recommendation best engine" award...
In the above-mentioned open events, Changan Automobile Blue Whale Team has achieved a very good performance, in fact, to a large extent, it has been proved that the comprehensive performance of the Blue Whale series engine has been very strong, or these national open events, through professional schedule settings and technical calibration, have helped Changan Automobile and consumers who pay attention to the Blue Whale series models to test the Blue Whale series engine!
Blue Whale Power has achieved outstanding results
The three magic weapons of "strength", "purity" and "quiet" are indispensable
Blue Whale series engines are not afraid of hardcore challenges, smiling proud of the domestic arena, and their "strong", "net" and "quiet" product characteristics are the greatest!
"Jin" represents a strong surging power, Blue Whale series engine equipped with dual outlet integrated exhaust manifold, double scroll electronic control turbocharging, Smart phaser + external high efficiency water cooling and intercooling and other advanced engine technology, can bring strong output power and torque performance, Blue Whale 1.5T engine maximum horsepower up to 180 horsepower, peak torque 300N .m, in the same displacement engine, has belonged to a quite strong existence!
The "net" of the Blue Whale series engine represents Changan Automobile's original high-efficiency combustion system, bringing higher combustion efficiency and cleaner emissions! Blue Whale series engine, equipped with "AGILE Agile" efficient ultra-clean combustion system and intelligent lubrication system, makes the combustion in the cylinder more fully, the friction coefficient of the whole machine is lower, and the fuel consumption level becomes lower!
"Static" is a great highlight of the Blue Whale series in addition to power, emissions and fuel consumption! The Blue Whale series engine adopts silent attachment belt system, silent chain, dual-mass flywheel and shock absorbing spring, which effectively reduces the resonance, knocking and roaring phenomenon of the transmission system. The overall idle sonic pressure level is as low as 58.9dB(A), and the deep-sea level is silent in the cockpit, while when the power bursts, it provides the driver with dynamic, pure acceleration sound quality.
With the blessing of the three highlights of "strength", "net" and "quiet", the blue whale engine has also gained quite a lot of honors in recent years, among them, on December 8, 2020, the blue whale NE 1.5T high-pressure direct injection engine won the "Chinese Heart" 2020 Top Ten Engine Award!
The pursuit never ends
Blue Whale iDD continues the pioneering spirit of Chang'an
The "past" Blue Whale series engine is naturally "full of spirit", in the field of independent brand fuel engines, the performance is also quite eye-catching, and the market performance of Changan's independent products has also played an absolute role in blessing, but Changan Automobile is not satisfied with the existing achievements of the Blue Whale series engine, pioneering and enterprising, moving forward to a farther goal, is the essence of the spirit of Changan Automobile. Therefore, in the next period of time, Changan will launch a number of new cars equipped with Blue Whale iDD hybrid technology, which will show a stronger power level and fuel saving ability on the basis of the Blue Whale series of fuel engines! It is reported that the fastest 100 km acceleration of iDD hybrid series models can reach 6 seconds, the fuel consumption of the air power is as low as 5L/100km, the pure electric endurance is 130km, and the comprehensive endurance is 1100km, it can be said that in the hybrid track, the blue whale iDD hybrid technology may still maintain the trend of technology leader!
Two more words
Blue Whale series engine is a domestic engine is a big technical leap, data and results will not deceive people, consumers with feet to vote, sales and glory proved that Changan Automobile's efforts at the level of Blue Whale engine to get recognition and returns, the end of the year "inspection" live broadcast, to the attack of the Blue Whale engine family and the second generation of CS55 PLUS icing on the cake!
