The current car market has long been a buyer's market with excess brands and models, which is a good thing for consumers, but because there are too many optional models, there are many flowers, and it is more and more difficult to buy the most ideal car.
If your budget is between 100,000-150,000, the target model is a good-looking, practical, and outstanding sense of technology Chinese brand SUVs, then the choice is more difficult, because similar models in this price range are numerous, each one looks very good, the difference is not big, in the eyes of ordinary people, the difference is often only in the brand and shape, to the final purchase, can only which preferential election which.
But in fact, after years of development, Chinese brands have become very mature in technology, and major car companies are thinking about how to create more differentiated products, and consumers only need to spend a little effort to experience it in depth, and it is easy to find the one that suits them best.
Just like our recent test drive of Changan's second-generation CS55PLUS and the new Haval H6 (2021 National Tide Edition), these two cars are excellent representatives of 100,000-150,000 yuan compact SUVs, both belong to the category of "closed eyes can not be wrong", but after our careful comparison, we can still find out their positioning and technical differences.

Design wins and losses are in the details
In terms of appearance design, the two cars actually have a certain degree of similarity, look very stylish and handsome, have a round and full silhouette, and a smooth and dynamic body posture, which can meet the preferences of the vast majority of young users. However, just because the appearance and contour are good, it is difficult to open the gap with the same class of cars, and the details and craftsmanship are the key to the level of experience design.
The second-generation CS55PLUS adopts the design concept of Changan's "new technology wisdom aesthetics" and integrates many wonderful details into the details. For example, the front face of the light and shadow progressive grille, a number of sets of small chrome strips are regularly arranged to form a lin armor-like shape; such as the sharp headlights, which use a far and near integrated LED light source and three-stage daily running lights; the tail wing at the top of the tail is a major highlight, the two-stage shape is very personalized, and the high brake light shape located in the middle of the tail is quite chic.
The second-generation CS55PLUS light and shadow progressive front face design makes the whole vehicle look domineering.
The second-generation CS55PLUS headlights have built-in three-stage daytime running lights.
The new Haval H6 also has a similar design idea to the second generation of CS55PLUS, although the overall look and feel is excellent, but in the details appear relatively "thick line" a little, the front face, headlights, net and other parts are taken out to see, it seems to be missing some new surprises.
The new Haval H6 has a generous design, but the details are slightly less refined.
These two cars are the latest main models of first-line Chinese brands, if only from the perspective of "good-looking", they can achieve high scores, but if you want to pay attention to refinement, pay attention to craftsmanship, or the second generation of CS55PLUS is slightly better, whether it is from a distance or a close look, it can withstand scrutiny.

It is not easy to create a high quality, and it is even more difficult to do a good job of humanization
Thanks to the rapid development of intelligent technology, Chinese brands have made more significant progress in interior design.
The second-generation CS55PLUS and the new H6 central control design are very fashionable, with an equal split dual-screen design and a scientific and technological atmosphere in place. But a closer look reveals the gap between the two in humanized design.
Both cars have a stand-alone dual-screen design and are very innovative in layout.
The biggest highlight of the new H6 in the interior is to change the previous pointer-type dashboard to a full LCD dashboard, but the design of each functional area is still slightly traditional, and the actual use experience is not much improved. In addition, the new H6 is also relatively monotonous in the selection of interior materials, relying only on the piano paint at the center control and the door panel to pull the high-grade sense.
In the selection of materials and materials, the new H6 is still lacking in novelty.
The second-generation CS55PLUS works the central control layout, its instrument panel is located above the steering wheel, staggered with the central control screen, does not block the line of sight at the same time, but also allows the driver to read the information in a close-up way. The design of the steering wheel is also very distinctive, using a car-like D-type design, which has a very good sense of control and can give enough sight to the dashboard to combine practicality, functionality and ornamentation.
The instrument screen, center control screen and steering wheel of the second-generation CS55PLUS are staggered, which makes the appearance clear and bright, and it is easier to read information.
The new screen layout, coupled with a simple design style, can indeed bring a more relaxed driving atmosphere, in addition, the second generation of CS55PLUS in the material and process is also more careful, the cabin panel has a large number of soft leather material wrapped, the lower edge of the center console using metal brushed trim, but also added with breathing light source detail carving, the sense of refinement is outstanding.
The detailed process can best reflect the degree of care of the car company.
In terms of intelligent configuration, both vehicles are equipped with on-board navigation, online entertainment, voice control, mobile phone wireless charging and other configurations, human-computer interaction is very smooth, and the car-machine interface design also has its own characteristics. After meeting the most basic intelligent applications, the second-generation CS55PLUS is also equipped with some bright configurations, such as face ID face recognition system, which allows users to start the vehicle through "brushing face", and gesture control system, through the heart, waving, thumbs and other actions, you can control a variety of car functions.
The second-generation CS55PLUS FaceID face recognition system gives new ways for vehicles to interact.
Gesture control has a wide range of applications.
The carriage of the second-generation CS55PLUS not only meets the minimum requirement of "practicality", but also integrates high-quality design elements, as well as humanized and interesting functions, and can be more loved by young consumers.

Strong momentum can really make people feel good
In addition to design and technology configuration, today's young people also have a higher and higher pursuit of vehicle driving quality, they need both a comfortable and quiet driving sense, but also a strong power reserve to release passion, which puts forward high requirements for the powertrain of the vehicle.
The second-generation CS55PLUS and the new Haval H6 have long been prepared for this, and both are equipped with the latest powertrains of their respective brands, which are very top-notch in their class in terms of technical content and specific performance.
Take the new Haval H6 as an example, it is equipped with a 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 124kW, a peak torque of 285Nm, and the engine is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the comprehensive output of the entire powertrain has surpassed many joint venture engines of the same displacement.
Although the book parameters are good, the overall tuning of the new Haval H6 is mainly smooth and comfortable, and the driving experience is relatively mediocre, suitable for users with a relatively stable and conservative driving style.
In contrast, the second-generation CS55PLUS is more interesting in terms of power, it is equipped with a new generation of Blue Whale NE1.5T efficient direct injection engine, the maximum power is increased from the previous generation of 132kW to 138kW, and the peak torque is 300Nm! Such a power reserve is close to the output of some 2.0T, which is not at all like the level of an ordinary 1.5T engine. Compared with the latest 1.5T engine of mainstream joint venture brands, its advantages are still very obvious.
Compared with the newly launched 1.5T engine of the joint venture brand, Changan Blue Whale's new generation NE1.5T power parameter advantages are outstanding.
The superior power output, coupled with the Blue Whale 7DCT transmission with a transmission efficiency of up to 94.3%, and the switching of multiple driving modes, the second-generation CS55PLUS can better balance movement and comfort.
When driving normally, the quietness of the engine is very good, the gearbox shift is also very smooth, and the speed below 2000 rpm can obtain sufficient power output. Of course, "power enough" is only its most basic requirements, when switching to SPORT mode, the power response will become much more positive, with the increase in speed, you can easily feel the refreshing feeling of strong power, and the thick exhaust sound, but also make the driving process more passionate.
Driving the second generation of CS55PLUS is a very fun thing, it not only has enough power, chassis tuning also has a good support, small size steering wheel can make people feel a full sense of control, and all its performance performance, are based on excellent NVH and smoothness, both can make passengers sit comfortably, but also to bring driving pleasure to the driver, this is where the sense of premium is, but also the embodiment of the car company's tuning strength.
brief summary:
Consumption upgrading is a significant feature of the current car market, consumers are more and more aware of the car, the requirements are getting higher and higher, each new product must be done enough to meet the needs of the market.
The two models compared this time are the ultimate representatives of Chinese brands, and the comprehensive product strength is very outstanding, but if you want to study in depth, the second-generation CS55PLUS can indeed better interpret the essence of the word "extreme".
On design, the second generation of CS55PLUS not only has external beauty, but also pays more attention to details, which can meet the most critical eyes of users; on technology, it is not only equipped with the current mainstream intelligent configuration, but also adds many unique humanized technologies to make the user experience the warmth of technology; on power, it is equipped with a 1.5T engine that can represent today's top-stream technology level, bringing a more advanced driving experience.
More importantly, the second-generation CS55PLUS is priced at only 10.69-12.19 million, at a price not higher than that of the same class of models, giving a comprehensive experience that is significantly higher than that of the same class, this high-value performance is the biggest confidence that it can become the benchmark of the same level.
