Model Highlights:
1. Provide two kinds of front face design, three kinds of interior color;
2. The red trim on the current model is replaced by a dark gold trim strip, which is more advanced;
3. Equipped with Blue Whale NE 1.5T / Blue Whale new generation 2.0T engine, and fully matched with 8AT gearbox.
Since the 1.5T version of the model can only be statically experienced in this test drive event, the full text is mainly based on the 2.0T version of the model. Of course, netizens who pay attention to the 1.5T model should not be sad, the gap between the two versions of the car in addition to the power is not large, and we will continue to follow up in the follow-up and strive to help everyone try the 1.5T model as soon as possible. Everyone has something to know about the point, welcome to leave a message in the comments, I will arrange it for you at the first time.
In order to meet the aesthetic needs of different consumers, the second generation of CS75 PLUS has two front face styles, the same is that they all adopt a borderless design style, which is more advanced. The difference is that it adopts a vertical line V-shaped design, which is also a popular trend at present.
The other uses a family-style dot matrix mid-mesh, which is similar to UNI-K. In fact, this operation of the double front face is not a new thing for Changan, as early as the first generation of CS75 PLUS debut, there were also two versions of the front face design, but in the end only the front face of the sport version of the model was selected. If it was just an attempt before, then this time Changan paid for the action on the second generation of CS75 PLUS, and everyone has one more choice.
Since it comes to the double front face, it may as well be a digression. Generally speaking, the design of the double front face can only be seen on some luxury brand models, which also proves that there is more choice with money. Today, Changan can do this, not only the respect for consumers, but also an attitude towards the brand.

The second generation of CS75 PLUS also played tricks on the lamp, and there seemed to be energy surge inside the front face of the through-led daytime lamp, which was also very in line with its "energy crystal" design concept.
From the side of the body, the overall line seems to be more slender than the current model, with a hint of leisure style.
The tail changes are relatively small, mainly focusing on the tail lights and the lower guard plate. The shape of the through-type taillights is very similar to that of the headlights, and the front and back echoes while also expanding the visual width of the tail. The lower skid plate adds a diversion design, and the rear fog lights in the lower part of the guard plate similar to the F1 racing pilot light style also further enhance the sporty atmosphere.
I personally think that the biggest visual change is that the second-generation CS75 PLUS replaces the red trim on the current model with a dark gold trim strip with a lower sense of obtrusion, although it is only a change in color, but it can make the whole car style more uniform, and compared with the current model, such a design can also have a sense of premium.
The interior of the second-generation CS75 PLUS has three colors, black gray, red black, blue and white, of which the red and black color matching sports atmosphere is full, and the black and gray color matching is very elegant.
I personally prefer the white and blue color scheme. Compared with the red and black color, the white and blue color is much more low-key, and the sense of high-grade is more obvious, but it should be taken care of diligently in the later stage, otherwise it will be very unsightly after oxidation and yellowing.
The dashboard and central control screen of the new car adopt the design of double 12.3-inch LCD large joint screen, which is used more by luxury brands and is very graded.
Careful netizens should find that the steering wheel style of the second-generation CS75 PLUS has also changed compared with before, and the second-generation model has a more technological sense and a stronger fashion atmosphere.
The shift handle is also a two-tone panel, the same color scheme as the interior.
In terms of configuration, the second-generation CS75 PLUS has more changes. The new car provides a head-up display in four modes, which allows users to grasp the driving information and road conditions in real time during the driving process.
The LCD dashboard and the central control screen also adopt a new design, the UI interface is more obvious, and the display effect has been greatly improved.
In addition, as the latest generation of the Changan CS family, the second-generation CS75 PLUS has also added FACE ID and AI surveillance cameras.
FACE ID can automatically recognize the face, and according to the driving habits of different people to carry out vehicle settings, improve the convenience of different family members to use the car; AI monitoring camera can monitor whether the user is tired driving in real time, and make a warning, which can improve driving safety.
In other configurations, the new car is also equipped with an advanced version of the Indus car connection system, SONY audio, infinity color change atmosphere lights, intelligent child care system, etc., we will do a detailed experience video in the later stage, please continue to pay attention!
In terms of space, because the body size of this car is the same as the old model, the wheelbase is still 2710mm, so the riding space has not changed much from before, and the tester with a height of 185cm adjusts the front row to the normal driving sitting posture, the rear head space has four fingers, and the leg space has one punch and three fingers. In terms of spatial performance, the second-generation CS75 PLUS and the third-generation Haval H6 remain at the same level.
In terms of power, the second-generation CS75 PLUS is equipped with 1.5T and 2.0T engines for everyone to choose from, the whole series is matched with the 8AT transmission from Aisin, such a powertrain is also unique compared with the same level of models, today we mainly talk about the 2.0T version of the test drive experience.
The 2.0T version of the model is equipped with a new generation of Blue Whale 2.0T engine, the maximum power of 171kW, the maximum torque of 390N·m, this set of power we have seen before in Changan UNI-K, spend less money to buy the power system of higher-level models, this business is quite cost-effective for consumers.
When driving on the road every day, the front section of this car accelerates very quickly, basically tapping the accelerator pedal power immediately follows, and the start is very light. The acceleration in the middle and later stages is a little slower, but only relatively speaking. This adjustment is mainly due to the comfort of driving.
The Aisin 8AT gearbox is as "smart" as ever, and the timing of the shift is very in place, the shift is silky and smooth, and the presence in daily driving is very low. In addition, the second-generation CS75 PLUS has four driving modes of "Economy", "Comfort", "Sport" and "Custom", and the difference between the modes is obvious enough after switching.
Of course, I also found some personal dislikes, because the gearbox tuning biased towards driving comfort, so in the intense driving, it will feel a little bit out of rhythm, this time it is more recommended to use manual mode, but also to increase driving pleasure.
Chassis-wise, it features a front McPherson rear multi-link four-wheel independent suspension. The overall suspension adjustment is more comfortable, and the filtration of some gravel on the paved road is more in place, and the undulations on the road surface are less likely to affect the occupants in the car. When cornering quickly and changing lanes continuously, the resilient suspension keeps the body in a better position.
In addition, we also conducted performance tests on this second-generation CS75 PLUS, 0-100km/h acceleration of 7.5 seconds, 100-0km/h brake stop only 38.3m, interested friends please click on the video:
Although the 1.5T version did not have the opportunity to test drive this time, it does not prevent you from sharing the power data of the power data, and you can compare it with the version of 2.0T.
The second-generation CS75 PLUS1.5T version was upgraded to the Blue Whale NE 1.5T engine on the engine, with a maximum power of 138 kW and a peak torque of 300 N·m, which was 7 kW and 35 N·m higher than the current 1.5T version. Most importantly, the gearbox was directly replaced by the Aisin 8AT from the previous Aisin 6AT. At this price, the power combination of 1.5T+8AT is not common, and it is still 8AT from Aisin, such a power configuration will have a significant improvement in driving texture, and then we will talk to you in detail when we test drive.
Editor's summary: According to past experience, the main model of the second generation CS75 PLUS should be the 1.5T version, but it is very regrettable that we did not try this car this time, and we also hope that the 1.5T model can give everyone another big move and bring more surprises. Of course, after this test drive, we also experienced the second-generation CS75 PLUS2.0T from the appearance, configuration, power upgrades, especially the standard Aisin 8AT gearbox should become the biggest selling point of this car.
At present, according to the information we have learned, the new car of the second-generation CS75 PLUS is expected to be booked before the Spring Festival and will be available in the first quarter of 2022. At the same time, the first generation of CS75 PLUS and CS75 will continue to be updated and sold. Everyone will choose the old model or the new model / Welcome to leave a message in the comment area!
