Auto expert Zinoviev listed 4 typical faults of a used Changan CS55

This Chinese mid-size crossover in a budget of up to 1.5 million rubles can be picked up on the secondary market with a mileage of about 50-80 thousand kilometers and an age of 3-5 years.

The key advantage of the Changan CS55 compared to its classmates is its power plant. The car is equipped not with a “budget” robot or CVT, but with a reliable Japanese 6-speed Aisin automatic transmission. This hydromechanical gearbox is famous for its service life, which often reaches 200-300 thousand kilometers. The only common malfunction is possible clogging of the heat exchanger after 100 thousand kilometers, said Sergei Zinoviev.

The powertrain also inspires confidence. This is a 1.5-liter turbo engine (143 hp) with an aluminum cylinder block, hydraulic compensators and a distributed injection system, which does not require expensive fuel (AI-92). Motorists estimate its life cycle to be approximately 250 thousand kilometers. Among the typical “diseases” of the engine are possible leaks and relatively rapid wear of the supports (pillows).

Overall, the CS55 is one of the most reliable crossovers in its class with good corrosion protection. Its weak point is the stabilizer struts, which require replacement approximately every 100 thousand kilometers. The remaining breakdowns are predominantly electronic in nature and occur infrequently, the specialist noted.

It was previously reported that UAZ is testing new diesel models in extreme conditions.
