SUV models are widely welcomed by domestic consumers due to their large space, good passability and good comfort, and SUVs have become the mainstream models in the current automotive market. Spending about 150,000 yuan to buy an SUV, it can be said that Changan CS75PLUS is a car that cannot be avoided, and the model ranks at the top of the SUV sales list all year round, and nothing can be more convincing than excellent sales. Changan's second-generation CS75PLUS officially opened pre-sale on January 20, with two power versions of 1.5T and 2.0T, a total of 6 models, and the pre-price is 12.79-15.49 million yuan. So what are the highlights of the new car? What are the advantages over models in the same class?
Highly tech-inspired design
The shape of the second-generation CS75PLUS adopts the new technology intelligent aesthetic design, and the new car has two front face shapes to choose from, the whale tail wave grille and the crystal matrix grille. Among them, the whaletail hitting wave grille originates from the 46.7-degree angle design in the Chang'an LOGO, which is very visually impactful; the design inspiration of the crystal matrix grille comes from the concept of energy crystals, and the through-line streamer front position lamp with it has a radium carved streamer effect, which is very dynamic and sci-fi.
The side of the new car continues the powerful design of the previous generation model, and the shape is simple. There are also 18-inch starwheel wheels with unique light and shadow effects when rotated through details, and 19-inch star-like wheels that use irregular changes to create a star-like shining effect for users to choose from. The new car adopts all-LED through combination rear headlights, and the lamp shape adopts embossed design, which is more three-dimensional.
The interior design of the second-generation CS75PLUS is also very technological. The official expression is "interstellar wisdom cockpit", and the overall style continues the design concept of Chang'an's "new technology wisdom aesthetics". Entering the car, the most conspicuous thing is the standard 12.3-inch LCD screen of the whole series, as well as intelligent W-HUD, brilliant star skin, atmosphere lights and other scientific and technological configurations, which together form an integrated design and bring a more extreme look and feel.
The second-generation CS75PLUS has three interior colors, namely starry night black gray, lava red black and ice crystal blue and white, and the stylish contrast color is more layered. Exquisite details such as dual-colour yacht-style electronic shift handles, suspended centre consoles, and matte chrome buttons create high-end interior quality.
The entire series is equipped with a new generation of 8AT+ Blue Whale engines as standard
As an SUV model, the second-generation CS75PLUS has a high-tech appearance and a good power performance. The new car is equipped with Aisin's new generation of 8AT gearbox as standard, which has the advantages of high reliability, smooth shifting, rapid response, etc., the overall gear change response speed can be increased by 40%, which can match a variety of driving modes, and the gearbox also upgrades the idle speed neutral intelligent control logic to bring better NVH performance to the vehicle.
The second generation of CS75PLUS has two power versions of 1.5T and 2.0T, of which the new generation of Blue Whale NE1.5T engine has a maximum power of 138kW, a maximum torque of 300 N·m, a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.4L per 100 kilometers, and the new engine adopts advanced technologies such as dual outlet integrated exhaust manifolds and twin scroll electronically controlled turbocharging, effectively reducing engine turbo lag. For the 1.5T engine, this power and fuel consumption performance are at a high level.
The second-generation CS75PLUS is equipped with a new generation of Blue Whale's 2.0T high-pressure direct injection engine, with a maximum power of 171 kW and a maximum torque of 390 N·m. The new engine responds more than 20% faster than the previous generation, and the abundant torque output provides more powerful acceleration performance, whether it is from low speed to high speed, or accelerating at high speed, so that the driver can feel the excellent power performance.
In addition to the obvious technical improvements in the engine and transmission parts, the new car also adopts an active intake smart grille. On the one hand, the wind resistance coefficient of the car is reduced by 3.5%, which reduces the fuel consumption of the whole vehicle, on the other hand, it can also improve the cold start of the engine, reduce the heat loss, improve the efficiency of engine operation, and also improve the acoustic performance in the cabin, further improving the NVH performance of the vehicle.
Intelligent upgrades create warm human-computer interaction
The SUV market is becoming more and more fierce, and whoever occupies the first opportunity in intelligence will have more advantages. For young consumers, intelligent configuration has become a necessity for the use of cars. Only equipped with advanced intelligent technology, to understand the consumer best, to bring the driver and occupants more warm and intimate car experience, in order to be widely favored by consumers. The second generation of CS75PLUS is equipped with intelligent W-HUD head-up display technology, based on visual algorithms, and cleverly combined with the DMS system, which can analyze the user's sitting height and the visual position of the eyeball in real time, so that the display information within the 9-inch range can always be in the best viewing angle when the user is seated, so that not only makes the driving process easier, but also improves the travel safety accordingly.
The "warmth" of the second-generation CS75PLUS is also reflected in the new generation of IMS intelligent interaction system. The new car supports Face ID face recognition, when the recognition is successful, the driver can not only start the car by tapping on the brakes, but also automatically adjust the interior configuration such as steering wheel, seat position, in-car air conditioning, multimedia and so on to the driver's usual state.
The new car is also equipped with the advanced version of TinnoVE, which can understand the voice commands of the driver and occupants, and complete the operation of opening navigation, playing music, controlling the sunroof, window opening and closing, etc., which improves the convenience of various operations during the driving process and truly understands consumers better.
In terms of intelligent security, the new car is not only equipped with 540-degree high-definition panoramic images, which can realize functions such as 3D display, intelligent opening, lane departure warning, etc., but also can monitor the vehicle's surroundings and chassis in real time without dead ends. A number of passive safety technologies such as IACC+ intelligent cruise system in the full speed segment and BOSCH 9.3 generation electronic stabilization braking system can also effectively ensure the travel safety of drivers and passengers.
summary:
As a best-selling SUV model, Changan CS75PLUS not only has excellent product strength, but also has a high market share. Now ushered in the pre-sale of the second generation of CS75PLUS, the model with explosive attributes has been upgraded, and the new car is more attractive in terms of design concept, power performance, or intelligent configuration. I believe that new car sales can reach a new high.
