In recent years, changan automobile, I believe that many people will involuntarily give a thumbs up, indeed as the leader of their own brands, in the past two years, Changan Automobile has risen strongly with excellent product strength and super high cost performance, and many people have recognized this brand, and the explosive models are launched one after another, and the recent second-generation Changan CS55PLUS is undoubtedly the hottest car!
As we all know, as a blockbuster model of Changan Automobile this year, the second-generation CS55PLUS has been officially unveiled at this year's Shanghai Auto Show, with a new interior and exterior design, Blue Whale's new generation ne 1.5T engine, face recognition system and other highlights once became a net red car, so that many consumers are highly anticipated, and today the author was fortunate to be invited to preemptively drive this new car, so how does it feel to drive? Let's look down together!
Test drive experience: excellent driving texture, sufficient power reserve!
To be honest, before the official launch of this new car, my understanding of it basically stayed on the picture, and the impression of it was more that the value was high, but when you really drove this car, you will find that it is really a lot of improvement. Well, the old rules, let's first take a look at the power parameters of this new car, which is equipped with a new generation of Blue Whale NE 1.5T engine, the engine power is 138kW, 6kW higher than the previous generation, the peak torque is still 300 Nm, and the matching gearbox is still a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Although the parameters are only slight changes, but the opening feel is still a little different, thanks to the dual outlet integrated exhaust manifold + double scroll electronic control turbo technology, this engine can reach the peak torque at 1500 rpm, and this feeling is that as long as you lightly step on the throttle, you can quickly enjoy the acceleration of the peak torque, it is obvious that it will be different from the past!
This time we test drive is the top version of 1.5T, it has comfortable, sporty, energy-saving three driving modes, the driver can switch through the knob mode, daily use I think the comfort mode is completely enough, its entire acceleration process is relatively linear, the car personnel riding comfort is also very high. Of course, if you want a little "passion", switch to sport mode, at this time its power output will be more positive and direct.
In fact, for the double-clutch transmission, many people will still have a little shadow in their hearts, but it turns out that in front of Chang'an's double-clutch transmission, you are more worried, its smoothness has reached the level of reassurance, this gearbox can understand the driver's intention in time, and you can hardly feel its setbacks and drags when changing gears. Of course, in the low-speed state, the oil is collected and then the oil is sometimes frustrated, which is a "feature" of the dual-clutch transmission.
In order to ensure the driver's vision, the steering wheel of the new car uses a small size modeling, fortunately, it is very light and easy to get started, and the steering force is linked with the driving mode by default, and there will be different feels in different driving modes, of course, you can also cancel the linkage on the system settings, but the author feels that the effect of the linkage is still very good, the economy and the ordinary mode are relatively light, and the sports mode is a little heavy, to meet the driving needs of different consumers.
As for the NVH, Changan has always been just right, in this new car is naturally no exception, the noise introduced into the car when driving in the venue is very small, giving people a very quiet driving experience, and the adjustment of the suspension is also more inclined to comfort, the subtle bumps are filtered very thoroughly, and when passing through the large pothole road, the body and suspension have a strong sense of integrity, or give you the appropriate sense of the road, which is very competitive in the same level, worthy of recognition.
Of course, as an excellent family SUV, in addition to accelerating strong enough, the distance of the brakes is also very important, in the 100-0km/h emergency braking project, the second generation of Changan CS55PLUS results generally fall on the distance of more than 38 meters. Although this result is not particularly good, it is already at the upper middle level for such a "big guy", and the feeling of braking down is also very comfortable, I think it is already very powerful for this level of SUV!
Finally, it is worth mentioning that as a family SUV, the second generation of Changan CS55PLUS up to 350bar fuel injection pressure, so that the fuel particle diameter is less than 8 microns, greatly improving the fuel atomization effect in the cylinder, so that the fuel combustion is more sufficient, the official 100 km fuel consumption is 5.9L, 4% lower than the previous generation of products 100 km fuel consumption, so that you can drive more fuel savings and worry-free.
Static experience: higher value, younger and smarter!
Now that we've talked about dynamic performance, let's look at the rest of the new car. In fact, we shot it as early as the Shanghai Auto Show, so this time we only did a brief review of the static part. As an SUV designed for young people, the second-generation Changan CS55PLUS is still relatively obvious in appearance
