100,000-150,000 yuan SUV has always been the basic disk of each independent brand, and it is also a place where soldiers must compete. On the one hand, there are many new car choices at this price, and the competition is naturally fierce; on the other hand, most of the consumers of this level of SUVs are real, one penny and one penny belong to the basic operation, one penny two or three points are not rejected, and the product strength requirements of the vehicle are more demanding.
On February 28, the second generation of Changan CS75PLUS was officially listed, with a guidance price of 124,900-15.49 million yuan. The new car has previously achieved excellent pre-sale results, with pre-sale orders exceeding 23,575 units as of February 27. The second generation of CS75PLUS has undergone a number of upgrades, the cost performance has been further improved, the sense of value is not to say that the same level is the top bar, the number one or two is definitely enough. Let's take a look at it today and what are its leading selling points.
Aisin 8AT: Standard in all series
Previously, there have been car surveys of the owners of the old CS75PLUS, and the reasons why everyone choose it are various, but one of the important reasons is that the CS75PLUS is equipped with an AT transmission as standard throughout the series. Compared with the dual clutch and CVT gearbox commonly used in the same class, the CS75PLUS's traditional torque converter AT gearbox not only shifts smoothly, but also gives the owner a reassurance in reliability performance.

Of course, in our survey, many 1.5T old car owners expressed their envy for the 2.0T model 8AT: although the 6AT is good, the more dense speed ratio of the 8AT can make the daily driving experience a higher level, and also leave the potential to further tap the power transmission efficiency and reduce fuel consumption.
The owner's feedback believes that Changan has seen: on the second-generation CS75PLUS, the 1.5T model is also fully equipped with the Aisin 8AT transmission, and the owners no longer have to envy it. The Aisin 8AT gear shift response speed is increased by 40% overall, which can match the variety of driving modes provided by the new car, idle start and stop, idle neutral gear intelligent control, dynamic torque control, slip control, intelligent up and downhill control, etc., and the adaptability to complex road conditions is also very high.
In addition to the Aisin 8AT gearbox upgrade for the entire 1.5T model, the second-generation CS75PLUS 1.5T/2.0T engine has also undergone technical upgrades. The 1.5T model is equipped with Blue Whale's new generation NE1.5T high-pressure direct injection engine, with a maximum power of 138kW, a maximum torque of 300N·m, a leading power parameter, and the comprehensive fuel consumption after matching 8AT is as low as 6.4L/100km, taking into account the power level and economy; The 2.0T engine is also optimized with a maximum power of 171 kW and a maximum torque of 390 N·m, which is a slight improvement over the previous generation of 2.0T CS75PLUS.

Usually everyone says that buying a car to see the engine transmission chassis "three major pieces", the second generation of CS75PLUS two of which have been upgraded, this value increase is real.
Double American Standard Safety: Open with confidence
100,000-150,000 yuan SUV is the mainstream choice for family cars. In addition to paying attention to large space and high configuration, excellent active and passive safety is also indispensable. The second-generation CS75PLUS has a bright performance in both body structure and active safety configuration, which is believed to be an important reason why consumers choose to buy it.
In fact, the security of the previous generation of CS75PLUS has been rigorously tested. It not only received a five-star C-NCAP score, but also received an excellent occupant protection rating in the 25% small area bias crash test conducted by China Insurance Research Institute. In addition to the crash test of domestic institutions, in November 2020, the first generation of CS75PLUS publicly demonstrated for the first time a 27° intersection dead angle collision and 80km/h rear-end collision test based on NHTSA and IIHS North American standards, and the test results were equally excellent.
The second-generation CS75PLUS continues the excellent safety of the first-generation models, with a 38.3% ratio of thermoformed steel in the body of the new car, combining thermoforming technology with ultra-high-strength steel roll pressing technology, which can take into account both high rigidity and lightweight. At the same time, the new car is equipped with 6 airbags as standard, which can comprehensively protect the safety of occupants in complex accidents such as side bumps, column touches, and tumbling. I think the owners of these equipment are reluctant to use it once in their lives, but when the accident comes, it is only when it comes to show their importance.
In terms of active safety configuration, the second-generation CS75PLUS series is equipped with BOSCH 9.3 version ESP as standard, which is compatible with automatic parking, steep slope and slow descent and other functions. The premium version of the above models is equipped with AEB active braking and full speed domain adaptive cruise, and the pilot version above models are equipped with more comprehensive functions of IACC full speed domain intelligent cruise, with lane centering, traffic congestion assistance, intelligent deceleration and cornering, intelligent speed limiting assistance, intelligent avoidance and other functions, which can help reduce the fatigue of drivers when driving long distances.
The new car is also equipped with 540 ° panoramic image and high-definition surround view driving recorder, in which the panoramic image computing power is upgraded, it can also be opened and used normally during driving, and the hidden dangers caused by the visual blind area of the SUV can be avoided in the crowded road conditions such as old residential areas and urban villages.
In terms of safety, the second-generation CS75PLUS is a delicate mind, and the extra value is reflected in the dark, silently guarding the owner and family.
Intelligent configuration: leading in the same level
As the world's most competitive automotive market, Chinese consumers have the most stringent requirements for intelligent car configuration. The second-generation CS75PLUS debuts several intelligent configurations that deliver a unique experience in its class.
The second-generation CS75PLUS debuts the smart W-HUD head-up display in the pilot and above configurations. Different from many current HUD systems that require manual height adjustment, the second-generation CS75PLUS W-HUD head-up display based on vision algorithms and IMS systems can automatically adjust the height according to the driver's sitting posture and eye position, and project information such as speed, navigation, and driver assistance in a convenient reading position, improving the user experience.
Assistance in adjusting the HUD height is only part of the function of the second-generation CS75PLUS IMS intelligent interaction system. This system not only has common functions such as identifying the driver's driving status, fatigue reminder, automatic window opening for smoking, gesture recognition and state memory of the in-car entertainment system, but also supports face recognition to start the vehicle. After entering the face, the driver can get on the brakes when he is seated, eliminating the need for a key start step, which is convenient and fast. When identifying that there are children riding in the car, the car machine system can also push children's songs, cartoons and other entertainment content, and the front row parents can also monitor the status of the children in the back row through the camera in the car, making the family car more intimate.
In terms of software ecology, the second-generation CS75PLUS is equipped with the Advanced Edition of Indus Car Federation TINNOVE, pre-installed Wutong 3.0R ecosystem, supports custom voice broadcasting, multi-scene voice control, car WeChat, volcano car entertainment and other functions, and also supports car/body domain/driving domain/power domain/chassis domain OTA, which can be commonly used and constantly new.
summary
From the launch of the first generation of CS75 until the listing of the second generation of CS75PLUS the day before yesterday, the CS75 car series has sold more than 1.5 million units in China, and it has also helped Changan become the head brand of domestic SUVs.
The second-generation CS75PLUS, whether it is the powertrain, safety or cabin configuration, is as good as possible within the limited budget range; whether it is the Aisin 8AT, which is standard in the whole series, or the unique intelligent equipment of the same price, it can be called value for money, and it is not a strange thing that consumers have ordered it. Let's take a look at when the new car will top the SUV sales list.
