The first choice for affordable sports SUVs, the Changan CS55 PLUS is full of power and the new design is more eye-catching
There are many people who want to buy a car, but they are always interrupted by the lack of budget for car purchases, so the standard of car purchase has repeatedly declined. For the average family, the car purchase budget is about 150,000 yuan. In order to let more consumers buy the cars they want, manufacturers have also manufactured many cars with a price of less than 150,000 yuan and higher cost performance. Changan CS55 PLUS is one of them, and Changan CS55 PLUS has two versions of the second generation and the Blue Whale edition, today we will take a look at how the second generation of Changan CS55 PLUS will behave?
Classic color scheme + new design
The second generation of Changan CS55 PLUS adopts an exclusive appearance style, high-strength body structure, and the overall design is quite eye-catching. The LED headlights are almost integrated with the grille, and the combination of bright black and white is also amazing, and sure enough, the classic color matching is YYDS. The inverted trapezoidal grille is filled with pieces of bright black quadrilateral, which is more three-dimensional. The design of the inlet and outlet under the grille is made of black trim panels, which is full of tension. The side skirt is also decorated with rose gold, which is even more highlighted. The taillights are hemmed in black, and when lit, they are more recognizable. The bilateral double exhaust layout adopts chrome quadrilateral exhaust outlets, and the layered tail gives a feeling of thickness.
Textured interior
The Interior of the Blue Whale Edition features a tech-caring cockpit, while the second generation uses a tech-based aesthetic cockpit. The versatile leather steering wheel has a hexagonal design, which is quite flat and has a strong sense of technology. Dark wood grain trim is used at the doors and some random places, which has a great improvement in texture compared to before. The right side of the central control screen is also embellished with a diagonal line, which has a stronger sense of technology. There is a row of buttons below the central control screen, making the operation more convenient. The flange is decorated with chrome trim at the handlebar and the cup holder for added refinement. The design of the entire interior is sporty and classy, the seats are also corrugated, and the fine stitching is also very careful.
The size of the space and the comfort
With a length, width and height of 4515mm/1865mm/1680mm and a wheelbase of 2656mm, the car is a compact SUV. The space in the back row is not very generous, and it is average in the same class, but it is also enough. The platform also has a bulge, but fortunately the degree of bulge is not high, and the impact is not large. In addition, the rear seat has an air outlet to provide a more comfortable riding environment for the rear passengers. The interior of the seat is softer, and the support is not bad, but the cushion is a little short, and the comfort of the long ride is not high. The trunk space is slightly smaller and the loading capacity is average.
Power side
The second generation of the Changan CS55 PLUS is equipped with a 1.5T L4 turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 138 kW and a maximum torque of 300 N·m, with a 7-stop wet dual-clutch transmission. The comprehensive fuel consumption is 5.9L/100km, and the total maintenance cost of 60,000 km is estimated at 5065.0 yuan. The power performance is still OK, although the shift in the low gear is not particularly positive, and the frustration is not very obvious. The power response in sport mode is positive, the throttle response is also very sensitive, and you can feel the abundant power. The speed up is also very fast, with a good performance of motivation. However, when driving at low speeds, the noise of the engine is relatively large, and after going to the high speed, the wind noise and tire noise are also obvious. Although the quietness of the car is not very good, it is also within the acceptable range. Fuel consumption performance is average, between normal values, but higher than the official data.
epilogue
The price range of the second generation of Changan CS55 PLUS is 10.69-12.19 million yuan, and the overall performance is among the best in the same price. The newly designed appearance and interior have improved a lot, and the texture of the interior is also very good. Full of power, especially in the sport mode, there is a certain sense of push back, can feel the sufficient power reserve. The space is decent, and while not particularly spacious, it's enough for home. There are also some flaws, the tranquility is not good enough, but it is still within the scope of acceptance. Overall, it is also a car with a better value for money in the same price point. Friends who like it may wish to give it a try, maybe it is the best car for you.
