Oshan is a premium brand under Changan aimed at young buyers. Original Oshan X7 was a compact SUV launched at the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show starting at 80 000 yuan (US$ 12,500). In 2021 (January – May), Changan sold 110 000 of its Oshan X7. They also launched a few variations of X7, the most interesting was the electric version called Oshan X7 EV which caught our attention. X7 Plus is supposed to be the new Oshan flagship model. It was first announced at Shanghai Auto this year, but now Changan revealed more details and cabin design.
The car has Changan’s latest generation Blue Core 1.5T engine, 188 hp, and peak torque 300 Nm. The gearbox of the Plus version is 7-speed. The original X7 had only a 6-speed setup. The size is 4730/1870/1720mm, the wheelbase is 2786mm. Plus is a larger car, the original X7 from 2019 size is 4705/1860/1720mm. Also, some minor exterior design changes were made, for example, a new radiator grille with a complex pattern and narrowed headlights which gives it a pretty striking look. Interior is refreshed classic Oshan X7 style, visually looks more compact, and adopts a new dual-screen control panel.
According to Netease, Oshan finally enhanced its NVH (Noise, Vibrations, and Harshness). The whole car has 52 NVH solutions for absorbing vibrations, wind, and tire noise, including 26 sound-absorbing cotton layers to reduce engine and exhaust noise. The seats were also upgraded and use microfiber leather which provides more comfort.
Oshan should list the price in September, and we are very curious about it. If similar to the original X7, it would make it an exciting vehicle.
