The word PLUS was first proposed by the iPhone, which means big cup. In the automotive industry, the word PLUS is now widely used, such as Roewe RX5 PLUS, and Changan CS75 PLUS, as two mainstream compact SUVs under the independent brand, the price of 100,000-150,000 makes them strong competitors, so in comparison, which "super cup" will you choose?
Appearance comparison
First of all, look at the new RX5 PLUS, especially the huge air intake grille in the front part of the face, which makes its visual recognition a lot better. The new model retains the green through-headlamp decoration strip, and the visual effect is more lively.
The exterior design of the CS75 PLUS is more similar to the overall RX5 PLUS, with a large black grille, a penetrating headlight, and a sports kit blessing, etc., except that the CS75 PLUS's through-through headlight can be lit, while the former is only decorative. The RX5 PLUS's side styling is modest, with a body size of 4571x1855x1719mm and a wheelbase of 2708mm making it compact. In terms of design, the side skirt part is also added fluorescent green embellishment, which looks more sporty. In contrast, the CS75 PLUS, its body side looks more slender, mainly due to the longer body size, its body size is 4690x1865x1710mm, and the wheelbase is 2710mm.
The tail movement wind of the RX5 PLUS is relatively strong, mainly reflected in the top hollow tail wing, as well as the exhaust layout of the bottom side of the two sides, coupled with the fluorescent decorative strips that run through the tail lights, the visual effect is still quite sporty.
The shape of the CS75 PLUS tail light is also its family design, and the same use of bilateral two exhausts, but overall comparison, the tail design of the CS75 PLUS is more simple, without too many elements embellishment.
Interior contrast
In terms of interior, the RX5 PLUS uses more vertical design, a floating LCD instrument cluster, and a central control screen. In terms of materials, it is also a large area of leather + soft materials, and the same as the appearance, embedded in fluorescent green color embellishment, adding a part of vitality.
The interior design of Changan CS75 PLUS is also more avant-garde, using the mainstream dual screen, and the middle of the screen has a certain curvature, which is more conducive to driver operation and improve safety. Secondly, in terms of interior materials and workmanship, similar to RX5 PLUS, they are leather + soft materials, and the sense of grade is relatively good.
In terms of seating space and comfort, RX5 PLUS first adopts a mix of leather + fur in the seat, which is softer in padding and has excellent ride comfort. In terms of space, the legs and head of the second row are at the mainstream level.
The CS75 PLUS is more spacious than the former, due to the advantages of size, especially the flat floor of the second row, and the 5-person ride is also very comfortable, but the seats do not look as advanced as the former.
Power comparison
Family cars naturally do not need to pursue too aggressive power combinations, so the RX5 PLUS is equipped with a 1.5T engine, the maximum power is 133kW, the peak torque is 285N·m, for a 1.5T engine, such a power level is completely enough, followed by matching the 7DCT gearbox, the shift efficiency is also good, the only possibility is that there is a slight setback in the low and medium speed.
CS75 PLUS is equipped with 1.5T engine and 2.0T engine two power options, and matched with 6AT and 8AT gearboxes respectively, while at low and medium speeds, the gearbox's frustration is almost negligible, and the gap between the actual experience of the two is not obvious.
Editor's Comments:
Two mainstream compact SUVs, the same performance of the home SUV in the independent brand, RX5 PLUS in terms of comfort configuration has an advantage, and CS75 PLUS is slightly dominant in terms of space. If you care more about the space experience, then the Changan CS75 PLUS is more worth considering, and vice versa RX5 PLUS.
