The brand new Changan Oushang compact MPV will be launched on the Chinese car market in August. Price will start around 70.000 and end around 90.000 yuan, positioning the Oushang spot on for battle against the popular Baojun 730.

The Oushang will be available with 1.5 liter four and a rather interesting 1.0 turbo four. No news yet on power output, but the 1.0 turbo will be positioned on top of the line, so it should have at least 120 horses or so. The 1.5 will be mated to a five-speed manual, and the 1.0 turbo will get a six-speed automatic.

Trendy rear lights with a chrome strip in between. And we can see her muffler…
