Space comparison, the popular T5 grand model is fully leading

Obviously, the body size of the popular T5 Shengshi model exceeds that of Changan CS35 PLUS in all aspects, and the large body size not only makes the appearance of the car look more atmospheric, but more importantly, it brings ample riding space.
According to the body size positioning, the Fengxing T5 Shengshi model 1.8T and 1.5T model is a compact SUV, even larger than the Changan CS75 PLUS, the adult man with a height of 180cm sits in, the rear leg space is also about two fists of space, the head is about 3-4 fingers of margin, but the roof price of this car is only 99,900 yuan.

Power comparison, Changan power is slightly stronger, but the wind is more flattering
Next, let's talk about power and control, after all, now everyone buys a car and understands that it is necessary to look at the "three major pieces". Although the performance at this price point is a bit luxurious, it can't be too crotch-pulling.
