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 look, in addition to the more fashionable and dynamic appearance design, the details change also enhances 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 also 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.
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.
Finally, let's review the static experience of the second generation of Changan CS75PLUS. 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.
