On February 28, 2022, the new Changan CS75 PLUS was officially launched, with a total of 6 models launched in the series, with a price range of 124,900-154,900 yuan.
The exterior and interior have been adjusted, and the power has been comprehensively improved
To say which segment of the market is now the most fierce competition, that compact SUV must be ranked, in this battlefield, independent and joint venture strong hands, each with special skills, and in this context, CS75 PLUS can also stand out, it is not simple.
As we all know, Haval H6 is the king of this level, and CS75 PLUS has been playing a peak battle with H6 for a long time, H6 has weakened, and CS75 PLUS is more powerful. Judging from the January sales list released by the Association of Automobiles, the gap between CS75 and H6 is very small, and it may be possible that after the new car is launched, CS75 will replace the H6 as the new king.
Let's get back to the point and see what's changed with the new car. Officially called the second generation of CS75 PLUS, of course, the brand's promotional language, everyone understands, in fact, its real identity is the mid-term redesign. First of all, the appearance of the new car has been adjusted, the front face has been changed to the most fashionable borderless grille, and the internal structure is composed of many slashes to form a V-shape, and the visual effect is quite tense.
The headlight group is more straight and narrow, and the upper and lower daily running lights echo the middle two through light strips. The front surround is angular, and there is a large ventilation opening on both sides, which makes it full of combat.
In addition, the new car is also available in two exterior styles, and there is also a version of the black prismatic net, which is more domineering in the visual effect.
The body side basically maintains the current design, the front and rear double waist line makes the whole vehicle temperament quite tough, and the shape of the multi-spoke wheels also adds a touch of elegant temperament to the vehicle. In terms of body size, the new car has a length, width and height of 4700/1865/1710mm, and a wheelbase of 2710mm.
The tail is made of through tail lights, while the lines are straighter and look more technological. There are two vertical taillights in the center of the upper spoiler, which echo the taillights in the center of the diffuser effect below. From the exhaust can be distinguished between 1.5T and 2.0T models, 1.5T for the bilateral double out of the rectangular exhaust, 2.0T model for the round bilateral four out of the exhaust, both designs have a good visual effect.
The overall layout of the interior is the same as the current model, but the details have been changed to make the carriage look more stylish. The dual screen, as well as elements such as electronic gear levers and through-channel air outlets, are very similar to the current model, and the sense of technology is still strong. In terms of color matching, the new car provides three options of black gray, red black and blue and white, of which the newly added blue and white color scheme looks quite fresh and does not lose the sense of high quality.
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with Blue Whale's new generation of 1.5T and 2.0T engines, and the power parameters have been improved compared with the old models. The maximum power and maximum torque of the 1.5T engine are 138 kW and 300 Nm respectively, an increase of 7 kW and 35 Nm respectively compared with the old model.
The maximum power and maximum torque of the 2.0T engine are 171 kW and 390 Nm respectively, compared with the old model, the maximum power is unchanged, while the maximum torque is increased by 30 Nm. At the same time, the new car is equipped with the Aisin 8AT transmission, and the previous 1.5T model was equipped with a 6AT gearbox.
The 1.5T automatic pilot is more recommended
Well, the changes in the new car have been understood, and then there is the second PART, which gives car purchase recommendations through configuration analysis, hoping to help everyone.
The first is the full range of entry-level models, a 1.5T automatic luxury model priced at 124,900 yuan. Although it is an entry-level model, the configuration can not be started, and it lives up to the name of luxury type. With the same 18-inch rim as the high-end, as well as the same double 12.3-inch screen and panoramic sunroof, the face is there. Other comfort or intelligent aspects of the configuration, but also not only to meet the basic needs of use. Friends who like the design of CS75 PLUS and do not have too high requirements for configuration, can choose the entry model.
Next is the 1.5T premium type, expensive 5,000 yuan, the extra configuration is actually not a must, worth it, it depends on your own car needs.
This was followed by the 1.5T top-mount, the auto-pilot, and as you can see from the name, its improvement lies in more driver assistance systems. In my personal driving experience, driver assistance systems are necessary to reduce a large number of safety hazards and improve driving safety, and these configurations are basically not able to be installed later. If you often drive high speed, or are a novice, the power requirements are not so high, it is recommended to buy a pilot type.
Next up is the 2.0T model, the first is the 2.0T automatic premium model priced at 139,900 yuan. Judging from the name, its basic configuration should be similar to the 1.5T Premium, so we will make a comparison between the two. The 2.0T automatic premium is 10,000 yuan more expensive, mainly because of the 2.0T engine and the larger 19-inch rim, but it has several less configurations than the 1.5T premium, and it is also a more practical function. Whether to spend 10,000 yuan more for the 2.0T engine, and then give up some configurations, it is up to you.
The next gear is the 2.0T Auto Pilot, which we also compare to the 1.5T Auto Pilot. Spending an extra 12,000 yuan, the result is a 2.0T engine, 19-inch rims, and reduced gesture control and facial recognition, which are two dispensable configurations. So twelve thousand dollars to buy the extra 45 horsepower and 90 Nm, and the rim is an inch larger, what do you think?
Finally, the whole series is equipped with the top 2.0T automatic flagship type, which is 0.7 million yuan more expensive than the 2.0T automatic pilot type, which seems to have a lot of configuration, but it is not necessary, basically it is the icing on the cake, and the non-configuration control does not need to be considered.
summary
Compared with the old model, the strength of the new CS75 PLUS has been improved somewhat, although the change is not particularly obvious, but it is enough for the mid-term redesign. And this time are very targeted improvements, even if it is a good steel used on the blade, I believe that the market performance of the car series will also help. The stronger CS75 PLUS will break the sales myth of the H6 at some point, and we'll see.
