At the rear of the body, the second-generation CS75 PLUS was equipped with penetrating taillights to improve the layering and recognition of the tail, while the bilateral four-out exhaust design improved the sporty atmosphere of the vehicle. In terms of interior, the new car still adopts a dual screen design, but there is no crease in the middle. In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with 1.5T and 2.0T engines, of which the 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 233 horsepower and a maximum torque of 390 Nm.
