There has always been a consensus in the industry that the replacement of the power is a hooligan. Changan is an honest man, the first generation of CS75PLUS used a combination of 1.5T + Aisin 6AT and 2.0T + Aisin 8AT power combination. This time, Changan's second-generation CS75PLUS has been replaced with more out-of-line, and the entire series is equipped with Aisin 8AT - with this set of true fragrance powertrains, Chang'an second-generation CS75PLUS has received more than 23,000 orders in the one-month pre-sale period.
As the saying goes, "there is grain in hand, the heart is not panicked", but the honest Changan still gave a "meet and greet gift" when the second generation CS75PLUS was officially listed, in addition to a series of car purchase discounts, the price of the three 1.5T+ Aisin 8AT models was 3,000 yuan lower than the pre-sale, and the final price range was 124,900-154,900 yuan.
The price is in place, and the core powertrain is also full step by step, so what about other comprehensive product strengths, including comfort configuration and intelligent safety? After studying the configuration table of the new car, I can responsibly tell you that Changan's second-generation CS75PLUS, you can buy it with your eyes closed, because in the 150,000-class compact SUV, it is the strongest, not one.
Entry is luxury, low is high
Reducing the configuration to lower the entry price is a "blindfold" for many brands to create a cost-effective method for consumers. Entry-level models seem to be very low-priced, but they are often very different from the configuration of medium- and high-end models, and most of them will not be produced. However, the honest Chang'an broke this "unspoken rule".
As we all know, there are two points that can best reflect the difference between high and low in appearance: one is the headlight configuration, and the other is the tire configuration. Changan's second-generation CS75PLUS series is equipped with all-LED crystal pulse headlights. This set of new headlights in the unlocked, headlights and through-type streamer front light is pulsed flashing, the formation of dynamic dazzling lighting effects, the sense of science and technology is very strong, it is worth mentioning that this set of headlights also with a welcome function, think about it, when your friends are ready to get on the car, the pulse type welcome headlights suddenly light up, is not to make you have face.
The reason why the whole series is equipped with this set of brightly designed and iconic through-line headlights is because Changan found that this is one of the user's favorite configurations when investigating the new car in the early stage. Chang'an's practice of "treating everyone the same" is very good.
In terms of tires, the 1.5T models are equal, all equipped with 18-inch starwheel wheels, and the tire size is 225/60R18. The joint venture brand often appears in the "beggar in the beggar", which does not exist here in Changan's second-generation CS75PLUS.
Let's talk about the car, distinguish between high and low, first look at the screen. Shrinking the LCD dashboard and central control screen is the easiest way to reduce costs. For price reasons, consumers can also accept it. However, Changan's second-generation CS75PLUS did not choose to reduce the allocation. All series adopt 12.3-inch HIGH-definition full LCD instrument + 12.3-inch central control high-definition full LCD touch screen, creating a sense of high-grade visible to the naked eye.
Take the third-generation Haval H6 of the same class as an example, its 1.5T low-end model gives an LCD instrument of 10.25 inches. And the second-tier brands that have always been known for their cost performance, such as the new Trumpchi GS4, directly gave a 3.5-inch monochrome screen that is better than nothing - it is really not better than not knowing, one is more than a shock.
In other configuration levels, Changan's second-generation CS75PLUS is also powerful. The whole series is equipped with a giant screen panoramic sunroof, 540 ° high-definition panoramic image, intelligent interconnection system with in-car WeChat, NAPPA textured micro-fiber leather seat, racing sports integrated seat, and electric 6-way seat adjustment of the main driver's seat, all of which are very popular and frequently used by Chinese consumers.
For everyone to understand intuitively, we briefly list the configuration table of Changan's second-generation CS75PLUS and the third-generation Haval H6 similar price models, who is more luxurious, it is clear. According to Changan Automobile Product Marketing Director Pan Xinxin at the listing conference, "Changan's second-generation CS75PLUS really explains what is called entry is luxury" - 1.5T + Aisin 8AT, not only has a better driving experience, but also the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers can be controlled to 6 characters, plus many luxury-level configurations, such an entry-level, can not say to buy with closed eyes?
(Comparison of some core configurations - line foreign tabulation)
1.5T automatic pilot type, sense of science and technology beyond the level
Among the three models of 1.5T, in addition to the entry-level automatic luxury type, if you want to experience more advanced intelligent technology, then the 1.5T automatic pilot model, that is, the medium-equipped model priced at 135,900, is the best choice.
Compared with the entry-level, the automatic pilot type has 11,000 yuan more, but the intelligent configuration is more abundant and comprehensive, and the car experience brought to you is more advanced. Say two important points:
First of all, this configuration model integrates the L2+ level intelligent driver assistance system that includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane keeping and more. The author has just experienced this system in the test drive, giving people a good sense of favorability, whether it is setting logic, opening method, or intervention reaction, it is like an old driver, very easy to use.
Secondly, for the first time, the configuration model is equipped with a smart W-HUD head-up display, which has greatly improved the practicality and pleasure of Changan's L2+ level intelligent driver assistance system. Based on the visual algorithm cleverly combined with the IMS system, the W-HUD achieves a high degree of adaptation that only a few models with AR-HUD can achieve, and its display content is rich and the picture is highly clear. Through actual measurements, I can also responsibly say that the W-HUD carried by Changan's second-generation CS75PLUS is by no means a flower rack.
2.0T+8AT, the entry is more than 30,000 less than the competitors
The gold combination of 2.0T+8AT is definitely a rarity among Chinese brands. Great Wall Motor does not have a full car series, and Geely only gave it to the high-end car series: Lynk & Co 01, a 2.0TD two-wheel drive Pro of 179,800 yuan, and a 2.0TD high-power automatic four-wheel drive premium type of 175,200 yuan for geely Xingyue L. The 2.0T+8AT model of Changan's second-generation CS75PLUS has a starting price of only 139,900, a difference of more than 30,000, is this fragrance not cool enough?
It is worth mentioning that the blue whale new generation 2.0T high-pressure direct injection engine equipped with Chang'an's second-generation CS75PLUS is also very powerful, and it has carried out more than 20 core technology upgrades, such as highly integrated application advanced O/Atkinson dual cycle and 350 bar high-pressure direct injection + high-roller flow air duct "AGILE agile" combustion technology, etc., and the final effect is that the thermal efficiency is higher, the fuel consumption is lower, and the NVH performance is better. Reflected in the most core parameters, its maximum torque reached 390N·m, even more than many six-cylinder engines. My colleagues have said in the "violent test" before that this Blue Whale 2.0T engine is undoubtedly excessive on changan second-generation CS75PLUS. The throttle can only be stepped on almost 1/3, and the surging power has already allowed you to reach the speed limit. He even said, "The 2.0T version of the Chang'an second-generation CS75PLUS is simply a steel cannon SUV, and there is no second model for the 150,000-level except for it." ”
Of course, if you have a unified higher demand for power, intelligent technology and luxury level, you may wish to choose the top model of 2.0T+ Aisin 8AT, which is the automatic flagship. It can be called the ultimate big boss of "tomorrow's car".
Write at the end
After reading the competitiveness analysis of Chang'an's second-generation CS75PLUS, you probably have similar ideas to me - Chang'an is so out of the way, some "do not talk about martial arts". When the two armies are facing each other, when everyone uses conventional weapons such as dual-clutch transmissions, you have a "strategic weapon" such as the Aisin 8AT as standard, and you also pull the configuration so high, how can the opponent play?
Of course, Changan does this, but also has its own reason, on the one hand, out of competition, in the past two years, Chinese brands and joint ventures are getting closer and closer, and the home SUV is the traditional advantage of Chinese brands, continue to consolidate the status of Chinese brands, the need for the most "lethal" explosive models like Changan's second-generation CS75PLUS, on behalf of Chinese brands into the heart of the joint venture.
On the other hand, out of responsibility, why should the consumption rules of the automotive industry be set by joint ventures, and why can Chinese consumers who can only afford 150,000 cannot enjoy 8AT? Can't enjoy a better car experience? Isn't the consumption upgrade we are talking about now all start with Chinese brands? What are rules? In the eyes of the powerful, the rule is to let users spend the least amount of money to do big things.
Changan thinks so, and does so, so there is Changan's second generation CS75PLUS.
