As we all know, in the case of the same vehicle level, the joint venture car is often more expensive than the domestic car in terms of price, because the joint venture car started earlier, the technology is relatively mature, the recognition is high, and there is a certain brand premium, and the early domestic car can only rely on the stack configuration to impress consumers. However, after these years of development, domestic cars have made significant progress in technology and quality, especially for more than 100,000 models, joint venture cars actually have no advantages, not long ago when I was around a friend in the car selection, I gave up the joint venture but chose a domestic car, let's take a look at it!
Friend's car purchase budget is 150,000, intend to buy an SUV, at the beginning he and many people like the Honda XR-V into the alternative range, XR-V advantages are self-evident, good space, but also very fuel-efficient, 1.5T power to drive up is also quite strong, but after the test drive, friends found that the shortcomings of this car is also very obvious, one is poor sound insulation, open up tire noise is particularly obvious, the engine sound is also very loud when accelerating sharply, the second is that the chassis is hard, and the bumps when passing the speed bump are more severe. Third, the interior materials are very general, basically hard plastic, there is no sense of high-grade, and the fourth is that the configuration is not high, and the low-end model of 1.5T has no reversing radar and no key to start.
After trying XR-V, friends feel a little disappointed, all say honda is "buy engine to send the car", did not understand this sentence before, now finally understand, no way, can only look at other models, the same price of other joint venture SUVs do not have too good choices, so friends plan to look at domestic cars, so that the selectivity is too much, this price of domestic SUVs are a lot of "explosive", after a comparison, friends finally chose Changan CS55PLUS. Talk about the price, he bought the second generation of 1.5T DCT premium, that is, the sub-top version of the whole series, the official guidance price of 113900 yuan, landing less than 13W, for this price friends are quite satisfied, I don't know what you think?
Compared with honda XR-V, Changan CS55PLUS has a great advantage in terms of size, the length, width and height of this car are 4515/1865/1680mm, the wheelbase is 2656mm, almost a circle larger than the XR-V, and the momentum is obviously stronger. The exterior design of the second generation CS55PLUS is a bit borrowed from Changan's own UNI sequence model, the front face adopts a large inverted trapezoidal grille with a narrow headlight group, the headlights are equipped with a full LED light source and with adaptive far and near light and automatic headlight functions, the lower sides also have a "fangs" design, and the red decorative lines are embellished just right, adding to the movement of the front face.
From the side, the shape of the whole car is more solid, the roof is slightly with a hint of slipping effect, but also equipped with the original luggage rack, the body waist line is disconnected from the rear door handle, showing a good three-dimensional sense, in addition, the car also gives a 19-inch five-frame rim, the visual proportion is quite atmospheric. Coming to the rear of the car, the tail light shape echoes with the headlights, the shape is sharper, and the blackening treatment is done, and the bottom of the vehicle has a bilateral chrome exhaust port, but these two exhaust ports only play a decorative effect, the purpose is to enhance the sense of sport, the real exhaust pipe is hidden under the car. In general, the overall shape of Changan CS55PLUS is fashionable and sporty, which is very in line with the aesthetics of young people.
Come to the car, compared with XR-V, Changan CS55PLUS is going to be a lot thicker, the car uses a lot of soft plastic materials, the interior design is relatively young and sporty, the dashboard is placed in a higher position, the three-frame steering wheel is flat-bottomed structure, grip up to have a feeling of driving a car, the physical buttons retained in the car are not much, most of the functions can be completed through the central control screen, and the shape of the electronic gear is also very exquisite. The whole interior, regardless of grade sense or sense of technology, has to throw XR-V several streets.
In terms of configuration, CS55PLUS has an absolute advantage, compared with XR-V's 1.5T low-end model, friends this CS55PLUS in the configuration of more active braking, reversing radar, 360-degree panoramic image, adaptive cruise, steep slope slow down, keyless start, keyless entry, remote start, leather steering wheel, full LCD dashboard, built-in driving recorder, imitation leather seats, seat power adjustment, seat heating, full led headlights, mirror heating, induction wipers, A large number of practical functions such as makeup mirror lighting, rear seat air outlet, car air purifier and negative ion generator are more convenient for daily use.
In terms of space, the gap between the two cars is not obvious, after all, Honda has always had the title of "space magician", and the CS55PLUS has a slight advantage in wheelbase, so the two have a draw, but the sound insulation performance of the CS55PLUS can be much better than the XR-V, the speed is quieter in the cabin within 60km/h, the tire noise, wind noise are not obvious, and the filter effect of the chassis is also better, because this car uses the front and rear wheel independent suspension, and the XR-V is built based on the chassis of the fit. The rear wheels still use a torsion beam type non-independent suspension.
Finally, look at the power, Changan CS55PLUS is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, the maximum horsepower is 188 hp, the maximum torque is 300 Nm, matching the 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, the throttle response is positive, the gearbox shift speed is also very fast, although the smoothness is not as good as the CVT gearbox, but it is relatively crisp when accelerating sharply, without any dragging mud with water. Changan in recent years in the three major parts of the real effort, this blue whale engine is Changan independent research and development, power performance and fuel economy have reached the first-class level of domestic engines, to be honest, now buy a car is really no need to superstitious joint venture brand, the technical quality of domestic cars has been very passed, there is a richer configuration, comfort is a lot higher, why not enjoy it?
