Model Overview

While positioned in the C-segment SUV bracket, the Oshan X7 PLUS punches above its weight class with generous exterior dimensions and a long wheelbase, delivering interior space comparable to a D-segment SUV.

Market tags: C-segment SUV, spacious family SUV, Blue Core power, smart tech features, value for money. 

Design positioning: Measuring 4,730 mm in length, 1,870 mm in width, and 1,720 mm in height with a 2,786 mm wheelbase, the SUV embodies the "New Natural Aesthetics" design language. Up front, a dual-layer front grille is paired with split LED headlamps to deliver a commanding yet modern road presence. The interior adopts a wraparound cockpit layout anchored by an integrated dual-screen digital display and extensive soft-touch upholstery, striking a fine balance between ride comfort and a tech-laden cabin ambience.

Product core: At the heart of the SUV is the synergy between the "Blue Core powertrain" and the "OnStyle smart ecosystem", which delivers punchy yet smooth performance while elevating daily driving convenience and active safety via intelligent connectivity and driver assistance features.

Development History

Debut and Launch (2021): The Oshan X7 PLUS made its global premiere at Auto Shanghai 2021, followed by its official pre-sales and market launch in August that year, serving as a core flagship model in Oshan’s strategic pivot towards the passenger vehicle market. 

Product Refinements and Model Updates (2022-2023): To sustain its competitive edge, the Oshan X7 PLUS rolled out multiple model-year updates alongside the "Enjoy Edition" series, further refining variant specifications, lowering the barrier to entry, and continuously fine-tuning the chassis dynamics and onboard tech systems. 

Market Maturation (2024-2026): By 2026, the Oshan X7 PLUS has cemented its position as a proven, reliable staple in Changan’s line-up. Through regular spec enhancements, it has sustained strong market vitality in the competitive RM100,000-class SUV segment, serving as a key family runabout within Changan's passenger vehicle portfolio. 

Market Performance 

Competitive Landscape: In the C-segment SUV arena, the Oshan X7 PLUS squares off against rivals such as the Haval H6 and Geely Boyue. Thanks to its competitive wheelbase, clever space packaging, and Oshan’s customer-centric aftersales philosophy, the model enjoys solid popularity among family buyers in second- and third-tier cities.

Owner Feedback: User reviews consistently highlight its "cavernous cabin, especially the generous rear legroom", "punchy throttle response from the Blue Core engine", and "crisp, responsive dual-screen infotainment". While fuel consumption is fairly typical for a petrol vehicle of its displacement, its pliant chassis setup and refined NVH insulation have earned widespread praise from owners.

Core Technologies

Next-Gen Blue Core 1.5T High-Pressure Direct Injection Engine: Featuring an electronically controlled turbocharger that delivers boost response in just 0.05 seconds, this powerplant produces 138 kW and 300 Nm of torque. Paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (DCT), it achieves an optimal balance between spirited performance and fuel economy.

Smart Platform: Powered by an 8-core processor, the OnStyle 3.0+ smart infotainment operating system supports facial recognition start, gesture controls, a mic-free in-car karaoke function, and a transparent chassis underbody display, significantly enriching in-cabin infotainment and driving assistance. 

Chassis and Body Structure: Built on a front MacPherson strut and rear multi-link independent suspension setup, the chassis balances supple ride comfort with confident high-speed cruising stability. A high proportion of high-tensile steel is engineered into the body shell, forming a robust passenger safety cell. 

Family-Centric Features: Thoughtful integrations such as the "Clairvoyance" remote surround-view camera monitoring and a dedicated "Baby in car" child-care mode are specifically tailored for family road trips.

Future Plans

Heading into 2026, the strategic focus for the Oshan X7 PLUS centres on:

Product Lifecycle Support and Updates: Continuing to deploy over-the-air (OTA) software updates to enhance the digital ecosystem, ensuring a modern and seamless connected user experience. 

Sales Network Expansion: Leveraging Changan's extensive dealership and aftersales network to broaden service coverage and strengthen customer retention in existing markets.

Technological Synergy: Cascading the brand's proven family-oriented packaging expertise and smart HMI logic across Changan Group's broader line-up of ICE and new energy vehicles, maintaining strong cross-segment product competitiveness.
