Just about a month after the pre-sale was opened, the order has exceeded 15,000 units, how is this achievement?
In fact, since the first generation of CS75PLUS was officially listed in September 2019, it became the "single product sales king" of China's SUVs in 2020, after two and a half years of market precipitation, and has the strong endorsement of more than 1.5 million users of the CS75 series, it is enough to show that CS75PLUS has produced its own strong market inertia and brand influence in the independent compact SUV market.
After two test drives of the new second-generation CS75PLUS, this "car of tomorrow" evolved with a new configuration gives me the impression that the performance improvement is all-round, whether it is power measurement (including acceleration, braking, etc.), safety configuration, road test drive, the industry's first three American standard certified Chinese brand SUV labels, are impressive. In a word, this car really deserves all the expectations.

A more "excellent" car of tomorrow
For an SUV, product power is the eternal theme. Like the most important test item for a test drive, of course, is the power combination.
In this regard, the second generation of CS75PLUS is equipped with blue whale new generation 2.0T/1.5T engine + Aisin 8AT transmission, the 2.0T version of the start is quite good, the throttle response is quite sensitive, even a little allergic, behind course, with the response speed increased by 40% Aisin 8AT transmission Is inseparable, shifting faster and smoother.
In the two test drives, I started with the 2.0T version with a maximum torque of 390 Nm, which is definitely very "powerful" in the same level, which is also the improvement made by Changan for users with higher power needs. The 1.5T version is significantly smoother due to the balance of fuel consumption and power.
Speaking of this Blue Whale new generation 2.0T high-pressure direct injection engine that has been installed on the UNI-K, it not only won the title of "China Heart" Top Ten Engines, but also upgraded more than 20 core technologies compared to the previous generation engine. For example, the sound of the engine is more "quiet". This is because in the timing system of NVH control technology, the previous generation of engines used long-life dry timing belts, and this time it was upgraded to a lifelong maintenance-free timing silent chain.
Moreover, the acceleration and braking performance of the second-generation CS75PLUS is really very good, and the acceleration time of 0-60km/h and the braking distance of 60-0km/h are quite "excellent" in their class. In the road test drive, it is even more spontaneous, and the feeling of "people and vehicles in one" is much stronger than that of the previous generation.
However, this time I regret not being able to test drive the 1.5T+8AT version. Changan has specially introduced that this 1.5T engine that switches from the previous generation H platform to the NE platform and rematches the supercharger has higher power, and under the "meticulous craftsmanship" of Changan's engineers who "convert the user's feelings into engineering language to interpret", it is more suitable for the "smooth" needs of the car's power.
In the matching of the engine, Changan's unique "multi-scenario calibration strategy based on user perception" is also adopted, which is the so-called "X-Pedal" (multi-gear throttle diagram), which refines the user's various use scenarios. In addition, the Changan technical team also further refined the 6 usage scenarios commonly used by users into 17 scenarios, and the final effect of optimization was to reduce the comprehensive fuel consumption to 6.4 liters/100 kilometers.
Power tuning is so fine, "intelligent" aspect of the second generation of CS75PLUS is even more "not said". In addition to "recognizing you" and "remembering you", the second-generation CS75PLUS is also a "better understanding of you" of tomorrow's car. For example, the Face ID face recognition system installed for the first time, as well as the intelligent car machine system "high-end smart cockpit", allow users to enjoy the convenience of human-vehicle interaction. Moreover, this set is based on the advanced version of Wutong Car Federation TINNOVE, and also opens more than 40 kinds of refined scene services for users.
It is worth mentioning that the gesture control function in the car machine system is also developed in cooperation with Indus Car Union; 540-degree panoramic imagery, that is, "transparent chassis" technology, and "one-click tracking function", are also the functional highlights of the second-generation CS75PLUS. This also reflects the power of "APA5.0" technology to completely free users' hands. Intelligent W-HUD head-up display technology is a very practical configuration.
After two and a half years of harsh market verification, this "car of tomorrow" has successfully passed the level with strength. The success or failure of the second-generation CS75PLUS will be the first hard battle that Changan will fight in 2022, and it will also be the result carrier for testing the upward development of the Changan brand and the transformation to an intelligent travel technology company. Therefore, this dynamic evolution, technological evolution at the same time, "quite important for Chang'an" of the second generation of CS75PLUS, become more "excellent", is inevitable.

The way forward
Ye Pei, executive vice president of Changan Automobile, once said that the direction of consumers' hearts is the direction of the CS75 series. "Forward evolution" and "upward advancement" run through the growth process of the entire CS75 series.
Therefore, these two generations of CS75PLUS are not just a new car and its iteration, but also carry the brand values of Changan Automobile and lead Chinese brands to achieve the mission of brand upwards. With the opening of the second-generation CS75PLUS pre-sale, its attitude of comprehensively surpassing the joint venture competitors is also more clear.
In fact, Changan Automobile has long been keenly aware that "just enough products can no longer meet the needs of young people, and only products that take into account future needs can gain their favor." Therefore, CS75PLUS chose to make some people's favorite products in this era, rather than doing products that all people still feel good about.
Moreover, with the continuous increase of investment in technology research and development, Changan Automobile has successfully mastered more than 500 key technologies such as Blue Whale NE Power Platform, L3 Level Automatic Driving, APA7.0 Ultra Remote Intelligent Parking, Changan "Smart Core", Changan Super Collector Electric Drive, Blue Whale iDD Hybrid System, etc., and has mastered the right to speak in many key technologies.
The so-called stand out from the flock, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and there is always a little noise. Some of the "Changan CS75PLUS on the Internet" said that Changan Automobile first responded to Changan Automobile's absolute big winner of the year with its 2021 sales report card. In 2021, the cumulative sales of Changan Automobile Group exceeded 2.3 million units, up 14.8% year-on-year, of which the Changan CS75 series contributed to the cumulative sales of more than 280,000 vehicles.
Similarly, people who doubt the quality of the Changan CS75 series will also be "punched in the face" by the real data. The newly upgraded second-generation CS75PLUS, from design, power, quality to intelligent security, takes the user's needs as the direction, and brings users a product experience beyond expectations through the high-value configuration of the whole series. At the same time, the second-generation CS75PLUS of the intelligent advanced "gives technology to humanity" makes every moment of user travel become warmer.
Warmth, of course, also comes from service. For service is the key to the strong rise of new car-making forces, Changan is well versed in its laws, and as early as 2019, under the impetus of Zhu Huarong, chairman of Changan Automobile, it released the 1.0 version of the "five service commitments" - "Zhiyin Partner Plan", at the end of December last year, Changan Automobile once again officially upgraded the "five service commitments" to version 3.0, with transparent prices, fast delivery, one-time repair, professional service, and "five service commitments" for safe travel. It is more focused on solving user pain points in more scenarios, and is committed to breaking the underlying diseases of the industry.
Nowadays, changan automobile's strength comparable to the joint venture brand and even beyond the joint venture brand is beyond doubt, and the second-generation CS75PLU is under the double wall of "Tomorrow's Power" and "Tomorrow's Wisdom", which not only makes users look forward to it, but also gives users a strong confidence in the "hard gas" of Chinese brand products.
