Remember that when Changan launched the CS75 PLUS, the combination of all-black color and red trim, combined with the new and sharp shape of the whole vehicle, was not yet on the market when it was much concerned, and then after the release of the price, sales soared, and even once replaced Haval H6 as the sales champion in a single month, and with the development of smart cars, CS75 PLUS also ushered in the 2022 model, but these seem to be insufficient, so the second generation of CS75PLUS followed.
Compared with the 2022 Changan CS75 PLUS, the second-generation Changan CS75 PLUS has a new feeling, in addition to the more fashionable and dynamic appearance design, the detail changes have also improved the appearance and sense of technology; while the interior is mainly upgraded in terms of grade and refinement, while the new integrated seat also enhances the sense of sport, and is equipped with the blue whale NE series of 1.5T and 2.0T engines.
The second-generation Changan CS75PLUS for this experience is equipped with a new generation of Blue Whale's 2.0T four-cylinder turbocharged engine, and applies technologies and components such as a 350-bar high-pressure direct injection system, double scroll supercharging, water-cooled intercooler, and ultra-low tension piston rings.
Matched by aisin's 8-speed automatic transmission, the maximum power of the engine is 171kW (233Ps), the peak torque reaches 390Nm, and from the book alone, the performance of this engine is enough to arouse your driving desire.
The test drive type has four driving modes of "energy saving", "comfort", "sport" and "custom", and it is more interesting that it can also link the instrument theme to "bind" and intelligently switch. In the energy-saving and comfort mode, the difference between the whole power system is not obvious, from the start to the initial acceleration is very brisk, and then accelerated to 80km/h, the whole process is very linear, combined with the lighter steering wheel steering, it can be said that driving is very easy and brisk.
Of course, if you want to try the performance of the 2.0T engine, when suddenly accelerating sharply or overtaking in parallel, stepping on the accelerator pedal deeply, the power output response is also very fast, and the acceleration can make most people satisfied or come with a little surprise. At the same time, even in the middle and rear acceleration process, as long as you are willing to give oil, the engine will give you the corresponding power reserve.
If you have a higher demand for power performance, then please switch to sport mode, but at the beginning if the throttle pedal opening is not well controlled, it is easier to have a slight "jumping" feeling when you step a little deeper, but it is easy to control it after familiarizing yourself with the force. In this mode, the engine speed can be maintained at 2000 rpm to obtain better power response, and the overall power output is more direct and rapid.
In addition to the 2.0T full of power, the most impressive are the Aisin 8AT transmission, which is mainly based on smoothness, and the NVH performance that is superior to its peers. It can be said that this power system is very maturely matched, and the existence of gear shifting is basically not felt during the driving process, and even the low torque performance when walking and stopping is relatively good. In addition to some wind noise at high speed, it was found that the quietness in the car was significantly better than that of other competitors in the same class, and even when accelerating sharply, the noise of the engine would not be obvious.
Also driving at high speeds, we deliberately experienced the L2 level of automatic driving assistance system. First of all, the opening function has been simplified, when the conditions are met, only through the left middle of the steering wheel button can be "one key to open", which has only been used in the new power electric vehicle before, it can be said that this design is really convenient and practical. In the experience, it was also found that the performance of this L2 was remarkable, but it would not force the car to be kept in the middle of the lane, and the control of the steering wheel of the system was very important.
The whole vehicle is very easy to drive, but the first contact may need to adapt to the "not long stroke" brake adjustment, because the physical travel of the brake pedal is actually very long, but the basic half of the pedal can already stop the vehicle, so it will feel that the lower half is a bit redundant, on the contrary, this makes the brake become more "sensitive", but if you adapt, you can still find a linear brake foot feeling, but this linearity is not long, but there will never be an embarrassing phenomenon similar to the sharp moment of forward leaning forward and backward. Perhaps Changan believes that this brake adjustment is more suitable for the complex road conditions in China, after all, safety is the first.
The second generation of Changan CS75PLUS uses a front McPherson type and rear multi-link independent suspension system, the overall tuning style is also more comfortable, after all, this is a main home SUV, and in the pursuit of comfort, the whole vehicle is also doing well. The chassis and suspension are relatively crisp for road bumps, and there is no excessive vibration into the car, but the rear suspension is harder. If the entire chassis can be optimized to be more resilient, I believe it will greatly improve the driving quality and advanced sense of the vehicle.
In fact, the suspension is sufficient for the support of the body, but when cornering at a higher speed, you can still feel a certain roll in the body, but it does not have much impact on driving and security. At the same time, the steering wheel steering still has a strong electronic taste, and the directivity can not be said to have control attributes, the whole is to pursue a good opening, in the same level can also be regarded as the mainstream level.
Summary: In fact, in the CTCC field, the Changan Blue Whale engine has always performed well, and after this experience, it has indeed exceeded our expectations in terms of performance performance, in addition to Kong Wu's powerful and abundant power reserves, it is rare to be able to do smoothly in the entire power connection, and the matching degree with Aisin transmission is also very mature.
Of course, the L2 level autopilot assist system, which is very convenient and easy to use, is also a plus. It's just that the adjustment of the chassis can add a little more toughness. In addition, when it is released in 2022, it is expected to have a more surprising price, so it is believed that the sales of CS75PLUS will increase sharply.
Finally, let's review the evolution theory of Tencent's chang'an second-generation CS75 PLUS. In fact, only from the perspective of styling design, the second-generation CS75 PLUS and the current model still maintain a high degree of heritage, but also launched two kinds of mid-net modeling, we mainly shoot today is the new model equipped with A-type front grille.
In fact, from the perspective of styling design, the second-generation CS75 PLUS and the current model still maintain a high degree of inheritance, and also launched two kinds of mid-net shapes, and the main thing we are shooting today is the new model equipped with V-type front grille.
The previous dot matrix type of the net has also been retained, giving consumers more choices, of course, the difference between the two shapes is only in the shape of the net, the other shape designs are consistent.
The front part of the V-shaped frameless grille does have a stronger visual impact, full of tension, and the large heat dissipation opening design on both sides of the front bumper also further highlights this sense of sportiness.
The headlight shape of the all-LED light source has become more narrow and long, it looks more sharp, the through-type design is a highlight, the recognition after lighting is quite high, in addition to the LED light strip, the intertwined lines inside the lamp cavity can also withstand scrutiny in details.
The side of the body as a whole still maintains the silhouette of the current model, the waist line is slightly raised, the front and rear wheel arches have a clear bulge, reflecting a sense of power, and the golden decorative strips under the doors are also good embellishments.
The 18-inch wheel size can only be said to be decent, but the shape is complex, the sense of refinement is full, and it also adopts the popular two-color design, and the tires of the real-time model come from the Hankook brand, with a specification of 225/60 R18.
The biggest change in the rear of the new CS75 PLUS is that the taillights have become a more popular through-through design, and the actual 1.5T model does not have a four-out exhaust style, but is more restrained with a more restrained double-sided quad shape.
The main shape of the tail lamp is still a very recognizable special-shaped design, some similar to the Australian aboriginal flying machine, the through-channel design can highlight the horizontal visual width, and the structure in the lamp cavity has changed, looking more brilliant.
The overall layout of the interior is still relatively close to the current model, giving people a sense of high-end and high-tech feeling, the new blue and white contrast color combination brings a great sensory experience, and the air conditioning outlet has also been changed to a more stylish through-channel design.
The steering wheel on the upper circle and the lower flat is also a blue and white color block, the wrapped leather has a good grip, the control buttons integrated above and the current model have been changed to touch form, which looks more modern and technological, and it is more convenient to use.
The 12.3-inch full LCD meter adopts a new UI design, and also adds design elements of the stars, with a stronger sense of luxury, functional aspects are also more comprehensive, and there are a variety of theme modes to choose from.
The size of the central display is also 12.3 inches, the display effect is quite delicate, the touch performance is also relatively smooth, and the Wutong intelligent car machine system based on Tencent's ecology is very practical and comprehensive.
Below the central aisle, a considerable volume of cut-out storage space has been added, and it is suitable for some pouches, tissue boxes and other things, and there is also USB and 12V power supply, which is a very practical improvement.
On the inside of the A-pillar on the driver's side, an infrared camera has also been added for driver voiceprint recognition, as well as facial emotion monitoring and other functions, which is also an interesting black technology, I don't know how effective it is actually used.
The 360-degree panoramic parking assistance system camera has a high resolution, the picture presented is also more delicate, the system can support different display modes such as 2D and 3D, and also has auxiliary lines, and the practicality is still very high.
The size of the panoramic sunroof is indeed not small, the lighting area is very large, the front section can be opened, which also makes the sense of transparency in the car has been greatly improved, for an SUV model, the panoramic sunroof is still a necessary configuration.
The front seats adopt an integrated shape, the main co-driver supports electric adjustment, the comfort is good, and there is a certain lateral support, the blue and white combination is very stylish, and there is a diamond-shaped lattice decoration, but it may not be too dirty.
The performance of the rear space has not changed, the head and legroom performance is good in the same class of models, and there is no raised platform at the foot of the middle position, which is flat designed and has no problem with three passengers.
The interior shape of the luggage compartment is very regular, the opening of the electric tailgate is also large enough, so that it will be more convenient to carry large luggage, the rear seats can be reclined according to the ratio of 4/6, and it can also form a plane with the luggage compartment floor, and the loading efficiency is higher.
