On May 6, Changan Deep Blue official video number released its first intermediate sedan C385 all-round interpretation video, Changan New Energy Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. CEO Deng Chenghao showed the C385 appearance for the first time to the public, interior details and some functional design, so that we who have been waiting for a long time to prepare consumers feast their eyes, let's analyze the information content revealed in this video.
The Changan Navy C385 has a body size of 4820/1890/1480mm and a wheelbase of 2900mm, which is larger than the Tesla Model 3 and BYD Seals, only slightly smaller than the Xiaopeng P7, but the rear space has been optimized and more comfortable and suitable for riding than the Xiaopeng P7 that was listed earlier. Thanks to the vehicle's slip-on shape and 19-inch low drag wheels, the new car has a wind resistance coefficient of only 0.23Cd.
The new all-electric digital platform EPA1 will feature a rear H-arm multi-link independent suspension system with rear-wheel drive and support dual-motor four-wheel drive expansion. It is worth mentioning that the Changan Deep Blue C385 will also be equipped with the intelligent vehicle domain controller Changan Smart Core and the intelligent cockpit domain controller (Qualcomm 8155 chip), and support vehicle OTA upgrades.
Changan Deep Blue EPA1 platform can achieve the strength of L4 level intelligent driving, which sounds a bit exaggerated, how is this trained? First, you need to have a set of smart driving domain controllers. It adopts multi-chip redundant control design, which can efficiently collect information from 27 perceptual components of the whole vehicle, realize valet parking and advanced intelligent assisted driving. As a result, intelligent driving functions such as automatic up and down ramps and lane changes during driving, memory parking and remote driving in the structured parking lot have followed.
In terms of power, the new car will provide three different powertrains of pure electric, range extender hybrid and hydrogen fuel cell at the same time, of which the pure electric model will adopt a single-motor rear-drive layout, the maximum power of the performance version can reach 190kW, the comprehensive endurance can reach more than 700km (CLTC), the comprehensive power consumption is 12.3kWh/100km, and the official measured 0-100km/h acceleration is only 5.9 seconds.
For comparison: the BYD SEAL two-wheel drive version has a power of 150 and 230 kW and a range of up to 700 km. The Tesla Model 3 rear-drive version has a maximum power of 194kW and a range of 556km.
Although the extended-range hybrid model has not yet disclosed specific information, it will be a 4-cylinder engine from the accompanying picture, but the official said that its comprehensive cruising range can reach more than 1200km (CLTC), of which the pure electric comprehensive cruising range is more than 200km, and the feed energy consumption is 4.5L/100km. In addition, the hydrogen fuel cell version of the model can reach a comprehensive cruising range of more than 700 km (CLTC).
appearance
In terms of lighting, the upper part of this set of split headlights is a daytime running light and integrates turn signals, the interior of the daytime running lights is unique, like petals, and below are low beams, high beams and projection lights and interactive lights. Support far and near light automatic switching, at night can automatically turn on the high beam lights, when there is a car on the opposite side can automatically switch the low light.
The projection light can be used to project the car to the ground and interact with the pedestrians in front of the car. With up to 264 LED lights, the interactive light can display vehicle information such as gear PRND to remind pedestrians to pay attention to safety, and can also display special scene animations such as happy birthday, cheers, flower applause and other effects. Subsequent updates can also be updated and expanded according to system upgrades and user needs to improve personalization and playability.
The 19-inch wheels are standard throughout the series with an innovative five-star enclosed design that reduces the drag coefficient to 0.23Cd while providing tension for the overall look and feel, and a five-spoke sport wheel is also available.
Another detail is that the C385 has a rearward camera on the front fenders, but only if it is an optional version with high-end assisted driving, and the model without selection is a decorative piece.
The C385's doors are designed with frameless doors, which matches its motion positioning. But in fact, in the early days of development, the definition of the door form is a framed door, but the team later countless times of discussion, after a very fierce PK, the marketing and marketing team felt that it must be on the frameless car door, the financial team felt that this cost is very high. But in the end, the whole team decided that it had to be market- and user-oriented, bringing cool and sporty bezel-less doors to those of us consumers, which was a big advantage and praise for this car.
Looking at the rear of the car, the rear shape of the C385 is very exaggerated, and the tailgate is also embedded in the tailgate, continuing the cool design of the UNI-V coupe tail wing, and the through-type taillight group combined with the design of the diffuser brings a strong visual impact, which can provide downforce to enhance stability at high speed, but also reduce wind resistance.
And it is equipped with a hatchback tailgate, more than one meter deep, the benefits of the hatchback tailgate are obvious, that is, the opening angle is large, it is more convenient to use the trunk space, the rear seats also support 4/6 ratio to fall, there is also a subwoofer on the right side of the trunk, and the maximum speaker of the vehicle is 14.
Interior
The interior part, the design of the C385 is also different from all the existing models of Changan, it does not have a large screen, and the instrument and central control screen are arranged independently.
The layout is a 10.25-inch LCD meter, and the central control screen size is 14.6 inches, and the screen size is mainstream. And the horizontal direction can be rotated about 15 degrees, officially called the sunflower screen of intelligent steering, which is the first time in the industry.
Car machine function, the system provides a variety of scenario modes, the corresponding mode of air conditioning and seat heating will have linkage, Changan New Energy Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. CEO Deng Chenghao demonstrated two scenario modes in the video, namely bonfire star and ice and snow wooden house, of which the bonfire star mode, the central control screen displayed on these objects are able to drag and have a practical effect, like the seat in the screen back and forth can adjust the size of seat heating, wood dragged to the fire can improve the temperature of the air conditioner, The wooden box is a small Easter egg, and dragging it into the fire will have the effect of placing flowers.
Although these small functions are very good, but in the real machine demonstration there will still be a stuttering situation, according to the performance of the 8155 chip, these Caton can be well optimized in the later stage, so the final effect is to look forward to the follow-up real car experience.
In terms of UI design, its layout is also quite refreshing, the left side is a scrolling function module bar, which mainly displays the content of entertainment functions, such as navigation information, music information, etc., and the right side is directly the map of the first layer, and the bottom is the air conditioning shortcut control area. The right side will also display information such as tire pressure and energy consumption, but the UI is not yet the final version, so it can only be referred to at present.
In terms of the central control screen, we can see that the C385 is the design of the map as the main interface display, and the left side has a menu bar for music, mobile phone Bluetooth connection and driving mode adjustment, and the content of the bottom menu bar will be slightly more, but the functions can still be understood at a glance.
The design of the air conditioner outlet continues the style of Tesla, because it is electrically adjustable, so it can only be adjusted in the screen, and from the details you can see that the main passenger seat supports heating and ventilation functions.
The steering wheel shape is a double-width flat bottom sports design, and the gear is also used with a pocket gear design, which saves more space in the central area and can have a larger storage function. The middle area of the omit gear provides an exclusive wireless charging position for the phone, which can be well fixed to the phone, surrounded by water cup holders.
The use of the interior atmosphere lights is also designed in place, and a variety of colors can be displayed on the trim panels, and it supports displaying along the rhythm of music.
In the roof section, there is an integrated top light above the front row, which supports touch opening and closing; in addition to the lights, it also integrates SOS buttons, dual flashing and an in-car camera; and the inner rearview mirror is a bezel-less design, which looks more advanced. 1.9㎡ panoramic canopy, equipped with Low-E glass to effectively block 99% ultraviolet rays, heat insulation rate of up to 80%, sitting on a transparent field of vision at the same time, you can also enjoy the sun.
Competitiveness analysis
The positioning of Changan C385 is the same as that of Tesla Model 3, positioning medium-sized sports cars, and like BYD's Seals, Nezha S, Zero Run C01 together and called the electric four small strong that will be listed this year, as well as the Xiaopeng P7 and other models that have long been listed will be competitors; compared with these competitors, Changan C385 has a certain latecomer advantage, of course, due to the late listing of the epidemic is its inherent disadvantage.
As a latecomer, the Changan C385 will be released on the new channel of Changan Deep Blue, and at the same time provide 3 power configurations that other competitors do not have. At the same time, the size is larger than Tesla Model 3 and BYD Seals, but slightly smaller than Nezha S, Zero Run C01 and Xiaopeng P7, the overall length, width and height are located in the middle of the electric four small strengths, not big or small just right, more like a qualified medium-sized car than its own fuel car UNI-V. The performance of 700+ is also longer than the Tesla Model 3 rear drive, and the acceleration performance is also slightly faster.
Pure electricity and extended range models are the more popular mainstream power forms on the market at present, which can meet the needs of users with different needs, so its coverage and lethality should be even greater, in addition, according to the pictures on the conference, there will be ways to change the power in the future.
Of course, Model 3, Xiaopeng P7 and other models are priced in the range of 200,000-400,000 yuan, this market is still very broad, if the C385 has a more competitive price, then it is only a matter of time before it becomes a hit. In the era of domestic cars, can Changan really be able to break into the new energy field and kill the teacher and challenge Tesla and BYD, the two big men in the new energy field?
