If the model iteration is compared to an exam, then the annual rebrand is equivalent to the "monthly exam", the mid-term revamp is the "mid-term exam", and the model replacement can be said to be the "final exam" or even the "college entrance examination". Generally speaking, when the annual remodel is made, the car companies will make slight adjustments to the product configuration according to the market demand, and the main changes in the medium-term remodel are mostly focused on the design aspect, so that the appearance and interior are more in line with the aesthetics of the times as much as possible.
Such as the "final exam" of model replacement, the scope of the exam will naturally be broader, from the appearance of the shape, the interior atmosphere, to the power chassis, to the vehicle configuration in all aspects, any one that is not done well will bring backproductive effects. In the past, many models were also folded at the time of replacement, and then forced back to the furnace to rebuild.
The reason why the second-generation CS75PLUS can still be respected by consumers after the replacement is probably because of "all aspects". It is no exaggeration to say that what you want, the second generation CS75PLUS can give.
In terms of appearance, the original advantages of the second-generation CS75PLUS are further highlighted. The second-generation CS75PLUS offers two front grille design options, a crystal matrix grille that is available by optimizing the current model.
The other is the V-shaped grille that is deformed through the Changan logo. It is worth noting that this V-shaped angle is deliberately designed to be 46.7 degrees - this is not only the degree of changan automobile LOGO angle, but also the degree of the intersection of Chongqing Jialing River and Yangtze River, which fully demonstrates the heavy cultural and artistic heritage of Changan Automobile as an independent brand.
From the design of the second-generation CS75PLUS, you can feel the beauty of the design that is in line with the times, and you can also feel the thinking injected by the designers of Changan Automobile into this model.
The interior is equally wonderful, the second generation of CS75PLUS is not only equipped with a 12.3-inch high-definition LCD screen, but also innovatively adopts a contrast design, and uses a large area of soft materials wrapped, whether it is visual sense or tactile feeling has been greatly improved. It is worth noting that this time the interior color matching also added a beige blue matching technology blue color, the entire interior looks more luxurious and concise.
Power is the most important upgrade of the second-generation CS75PLUS. The first is the engine, the second generation of CS75PLUS is still available in the Blue Whale 1.5T and 2.0T power versions, but compared to the current model have improved.
Among them, Blue Whale's new generation NE1.5T high-pressure direct injection engine, supported by advanced technologies such as dual outlet integrated exhaust manifold and twin-scroll electronically controlled turbocharging, can reach peak torque at 1250r/min, the maximum rated power reaches 138kW, and the maximum torque is 300N·m.
Blue Whale's new generation of 2.0T engine has been upgraded through more than 20 core technologies, and the response speed has increased by more than 20% compared with the previous generation, with a maximum power of 171 kW and a maximum torque of 390 N·m.
More importantly, the second-generation CS75PLUS, which is currently priced at only 127,900 yuan, is equipped with a new generation Aisin 8AT gearbox as standard. Previously, the Aisin 8AT was only installed on the 2.0T version, and now it is downgraded to the 1.5T version, which is enough to prove the sincerity of Changan Automobile.
Intelligence helps Changan CS75 series impact the next 1.5 million
For most models, being able to do the above points is probably already a sincere replacement. However, in the view of Changan Automobile, the existence of "tomorrow's car" is not only to meet the needs of consumers at this stage, but more importantly, to walk in the forefront of the times and become the pioneer of the times.
And intelligence is undoubtedly the best fulcrum. Under the background of the increasingly close combination of science and technology and the automobile industry, both Chinese brands and joint venture brands are accelerating the construction of intelligence, but at this stage, the progress of Chinese brands in intelligent development is already significantly ahead of the joint venture brands, of which Changan Automobile is the most prominent.
On the second-generation CS75PLUS, we can see a lot of industry-leading intelligent configurations. For example, Changan Automobile's first intelligent W-HUD head-up display technology, unlike the traditional HUD display fixed position, intelligent W-HUD head-up display technology can be based on visual algorithms skillfully combined with 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 9 inches is always in the driver's best perspective.
For example, the new generation of IMS intelligent interaction system independently developed by Changan Automobile can not only automatically adjust air conditioning and multimedia to the driver's common state through Face ID face recognition, but also has a variety of functions such as intelligent gesture control and intelligent child care. Thanks to the intelligent gesture control and the dual external cameras in the car, even if the owner is driving alone, he can shoot the scenery along the way through gesture control.
For example, the APA5.0+ remote control valet parking system that supports voice wake-up and mobile phone control can support vehicles to intelligently find parking spaces within 20 meters and realize automatic parking. In some narrow sections that are difficult to turn around, The Changan CS75PLUS can also be withdrawn through the "follow-up function".
It is worth noting that even if the pre-sale of 127,900 entry-level models, the second-generation CS75PLUS is also equipped with a 540 ° high-definition panoramic image system, which not only supports 3D display of road conditions, but also supports intelligent opening, and users can monitor the surrounding area of the vehicle and the chassis without dead angles, eliminating blind spots.
Of course, at present, the heads-up display, valet parking, face recognition and other functions have been installed on many models, but none of those models can be purchased within a budget of 150,000. As a compact SUV with a pre-price of only 127,900 yuan to 154,900 yuan, the value that the second-generation CS75PLUS can provide is unmatched by its peers. As is customary, the price of the official listing is often lower than the pre-sale price. With the official listing of the second-generation CS75PLUS, it will also help Changan CS75 series to impact the next 1.5 million.
epilogue
Since its listing in 2014, the Changan CS75 series has always been firmly in the top three positions in the compact SUV market, and has accumulated more than 1.5 million users in 8 years. This is the best badge of merit for the product.
2 days later, the second generation of CS75PLUS will be officially listed, under the word of mouth of consumers and the continuous verification of the market, the market position of Changan CS75 series will be more difficult to shake.
