In 2022, Changan Automobile is also gearing up, hoping to regain the position of the marketing crown of its own brand array. Therefore, we can see that Changan already has six new cars that are ready for listing, which is bound to greatly deepen the depth of the brand product line.
The second generation CS75 PLUS
As the star model of Changan, the CS75 PLUS is a very important car for the entire brand, and it can even be called the barometer of the brand. The new model has been tweaked in appearance, using the latest design language of the family, bringing more freshness and technology, and in order to cater to the aesthetic needs of different consumers, it also provides a dual design suite.
The interior is still the same as always using the dual screen design, but in the details and workmanship materials have been greatly improved, closer to the family UNI series.

UNI-V
As the third model of the UNI family and the first sedan, the UNI-V has received a lot of attention from the market. The exterior is in a sneaky coupe style, the front face uses a borderless design language, and the visual effect of the flat, narrow headlights is very sharp. The rear of the car has a liftable rear wing, which is also one of its major selling points. In terms of power, it will give priority to the 1.5T Blue Whale series engine, the maximum horsepower is 188 horses, matching the 8AT gearbox, and the 2.0T power combination will be introduced in the later stage, if the price is right, then its competitiveness is still quite outstanding.
UNI-K iDD hybrid
This year, the hybrid market has suddenly poured in a large number of new players, and Changan is no exception, releasing the first iDD hybrid system. The first model is the UNI-K iDD, the appearance and interior of the new car have not changed, and it is still the level of the first echelon of the same class.

Among them, it can provide an endurance of 130 kilometers in pure electric mode, and it can be used as an electric vehicle on weekdays, effectively reducing the cost of using the car. In hybrid mode, its average fuel consumption can be the same as or even lower than the Japanese hybrid, and the effect is very good. In terms of performance, the official claim is that the acceleration time of 100 kilometers can enter the 6-second range, and it may become a hit after the future listing.
C385 Avita 11
Last year, Changan officially released the high-end new energy brand Avita, and this year will bring two cars, C385 and Avita 11. Among them, the design of C385 is very close to UNI-V, but the borderless grille of the front face has been replaced with a closed style, and the sci-fi sense is also stronger. There are no details on the powertrain, but it is expected to be equipped with a new battery thermal management technology, which can effectively alleviate the endurance performance of electric vehicles in severe cold environments.
Avita 11 was jointly developed by Chang'an, Huawei, and CATL. The appearance of the redesign, the sense of science fiction is very strong, the front face has no superfluous elements, the split headlights are in the shape of a ribbon design, I do not know whether the mass production version will be improved. The new car is positioned as a mid-size SUV with a body design that is close to a coupe style.
In terms of power, it is expected to adopt a dual motor layout, the acceleration time of 100 kilometers can reach less than 4 seconds, the cruising range is 700km, and the vehicle-machine system is expected to use Huawei Hongmeng OS, which can realize the interconnection function of the car.
Auchan Z6
Finally, let's take a look at Auchan Z6, as a sub-brand of Changan's main cost-effectiveness, Auchan X7 and X5 have successively achieved success, and then added Auchan Z6 in 2022.
From the appearance point of view, the design of Auchan Z6 and CS55 PLUS is very close, whether it is fashionable or avant-garde, it is quite good. The side adopts a suspended roof, with a multi-segment flexible waistline, which looks more dynamic and smooth.
In terms of power, three power combinations will be available, namely 1.5T+7 speed dual clutch, 2.0T+8AT and Blue Whale iDD hybrid. It can be seen that the audience of Auchan Z6 is still quite broad.
